Makeda is a thoughtful and integrative therapist who brings warmth, curiosity, and collaboration into the therapeutic space. Her approach is grounded in the belief that healing begins with authentic connection, mutual trust, and the shared development of meaningful goals.

With experience supporting individuals, couples, families, and groups across the lifespan, Makeda works from a holistic and trauma-aware lens. Her practice is particularly attuned to how loss, early relational harm, and intergenerational experiences of trauma can shape emotional, physical, and relational wellbeing. Whether supporting someone through a crisis or walking alongside them in longer-term personal development, Makeda holds space that is non-judgmental, dynamic, and grounded in compassion.

Makeda draws from a range of therapeutic modalities—integrating evidence-based practices with a deep respect for lived experience, cultural context, and the many ways people make meaning. She is especially committed to supporting clients navigating anxiety, depression, family or relationship conflict, low self-worth, behavioural challenges, and emotion regulation. Her clinical work is informed by ongoing reflection and the belief that every person deserves the opportunity to live a life aligned with their values, dignity, and wholeness.
