Defiant Daughters Writing Circle

A guided two-hour writing group for justice-oriented adult daughters to explore their experiences, process their emotions, and reclaim their voices through writing. This circle combines reflective prompts, mutual support, and connection to help you feel seen, heard, and empowered in your story.

Trauma Group for the Justice-Oriented Heart

The Relationship Recovery Process (RRP) group is a six-month nurturing space for those who fight for justice - and are ready to turn that fierce care + advocacy inward, toward the exiled parts and the inner child they left behind to survive.

 

Through guided exercises, you’ll grieve the loss of a normal childhood, resolve issues from your childhood, learn to reparent your inner child, and grow intimacy from the inside out.

Clinical Supervision

Supportive, anti-oppressive supervision for Ontario therapists seeking guidance, reflection, and ethical clarity. I help supervisees navigate complex cases, deepen relational attunement, and integrate trauma-informed, anti-colonial approaches into their practice.

Consultation & Collaboration

Got an idea, project, or challenge that could use a creative, anti-oppressive, justice-oriented perspective? I love teaming up with like-minded, like-hearted folks to brainstorm, consult, and co-create work that matters. Let’s make something meaningful together.

Therapy Approach

If you’ve been told you’re ‘too much,’ ‘too sensitive,’ or ‘too difficult,’ take heart: those words are evidence of your defiance. They show the ways you’ve quietly or not-so-quietly resisted erasure and fought to be seen for who you truly are.

Welcome to the Defiant Daughters Club. I’m a therapist—and a fellow defiant daughter—here to help you break free from oppressive, controlling, and neglectful dynamics and reclaim the joy, contentment, and wholeness of being fully, unapologetically yourself.

Core Philosophy

Healing for defiant daughters isn’t about “fixing” what’s broken. It’s about:

  • Creating space for curiosity, emotions, and the stories tied to your defiance and pain.

  • Reclaiming your full humanity beneath emotional and spiritual wounds, while honoring the fire that makes you resist erasure.

  • Understanding that emotional pain is intertwined with family history, culture, and systemic oppression.

  • Empowering you to build a life that reflects your values, your justice orientation, and your inner sovereignty—not a life dictated by what others think is “normal” or “acceptable.”

 

My Methods & Modalities

Relational Therapy: Healing through the trust and connection between us, including navigating relational turbulence as it arises.

 

Attachment-Based, Trauma-Attuned Therapy: Helping you uncover the deeper emotional truths that drive patterns you want to change, including those tied to your defiance, resistance, and relational wounds.

 

Anti-Colonial Practice: Resisting mental colonization, centering ways of being human instead of performing human, and supporting your reclamation of inner and spiritual sovereignty.

How It Feels to Work With Me

You are a whole, complex defiant daughter—not a diagnosis.

We explore patterns with curiosity, not judgment.

Difference, nuance, and political and cultural truths are welcomed and honored.

You’ll leave with practical tools, deeper self-connection, and a strengthened capacity to resist the disconnection colonist culture imposes.

What We’ll Work On Together

 

  • Untangling the effects of growing up with oppressive, controlling, or emotionally neglectful parenting.

  • Reclaiming your inner sovereignty and your right to express your fire, defiance, and boundaries.

  • Building emotional, relational, and spiritual resilience so you can engage in relationships authentically, set boundaries boldly, and give and receive love fully.

  • Transforming defiance and resistance into fuel for self-liberation, justice, and living a life aligned with your values.

 

Why This Approach Works

 

Defiant daughters carry wounds and emotional scars—but also fire, courage, and resilience. This approach honors both. By bringing your whole self into therapy, including your defiance, your political and cultural awareness, and your lived experience, we move beyond coping strategies into genuine transformation, self-liberation, and thriving.
