Life isn’t a linear journey; it’s a complex masterpiece filled with experiences that often challenge and inspire us. I am here to walk this journey with you, navigating the twists and turns, and celebrating the unexpected detours that lead to profound personal growth. I specialize in working with individuals facing challenges such as anxiety, perfectionism, self-criticism, and unique culturalized experiences. I approach therapy with the belief that you are the expert of your own story. I am deeply curious about your interpretations, the nuances that hold meaning for you, and the strategies you employ to foster growth.

My clinical approach is client-centred, culturally responsive, trauma-informed, anti-oppressive, and LGBTQ-affirmative. I offer a warm and holistic approach that is strength-based and action-oriented: grounded in theories of acceptance and commitment therapy, narrative therapy, cognitive behavioural therapy, and mindfulness.

My approach is supportive, challenging, empathic and direct. I strive to establish a safe and nurturing space where this personal growth can thrive, where vulnerability is not just accepted but embraced, where change is cultivated, and where connections are cherished and honored.

I understand that therapy can seem like a daunting idea. However, when things feel heavy, connecting with a professional who is the right fit for you can be quite comforting. I am a registered psychotherapist (Qualifying) with the CRPO, and completed my Master of Education in Counselling Psychology at the University of Toronto. Whatever your reason for seeking therapy may be, it is paramount to my practice to actively cultivate an environment of support and non-judgment. I enjoy working with teenagers (16+) and adults, and extend a warm welcome to individuals from all walks of life, embracing diversity and catering to various backgrounds.

Recognizing the uniqueness of each client I tailor my therapeutic approach integrating evidence-based therapeutic modalities. Therapy is a collaborative process and it is through the establishment of a trusting and empathic connection between client and therapist that meaningful therapeutic work can occur. Infused with positive regard, I prioritize the establishment and maintenance of a therapeutic rapport that fosters a safe space where you feel heard and valued. I would love to accompany you on your journey towards healing and personal development.

When I was in high school, classmates would ask me for personal and relationship advice. When I saw that I was helping people, it occurred to me, “maybe I can do this as a career one day”.

The backbone of my therapy is based on compassion and empathy. This allows me to show up for you in the way you require for that specific day at that specific time. My therapeutic style is person-centered which means that we work together to develop your sense of self-awareness and self-efficacy. We will identify, process, and manage difficult feelings that are bringing you down while building on strengths you already have. If interpersonal relations are communication are an issue, we will learn communication strategies while helping you express your needs in effective, non-confrontational ways. We will also identify and listen to the parts of you that are stuck in the past while considering whether they serve you or are getting in your way.

From 2008-2020 I lived oversees as an international educator in different countries. This has provided me with appreciation and respect for different cultures and ways of life. During therapy I want you to feel comfortable, heard, understood, and seen while we come to terms with your experiences and work towards your goals.
