“Life is suffering”, the Buddha famously said. But it doesn’t have to be this way, at least not all of the time. While I may never know the full extent of your situation, I can be sure of two things – you have suffered and a part of you believes it is possible for things to be better. I am here to guide you on your journey to better, however that looks like for you.

Your struggles do not define you and it’s okay to not be okay. Coping mechanisms that previously worked no longer work. We may need to slow down, sit with our struggles, like our low self esteem, our perfectionism, or our anxiety, and explore how we feel inside and what is coming to the surface. Many of us avoid our struggles as a means to cope but that doesn’t solve them. Rather they continue to appear and we react in situations when we least expect it by getting angry or shutting down. By learning to sit with our emotions, without feeling overwhelmed or stuck, we can process our struggles, and take steps to move forward.

I came into this field by accident, but after realizing the importance of relationships I stayed. My background is in working with youth, and families, aiming to meet you where you are at in your journey. Having experienced culture-clash myself, I know how hard it can be to find wellness and belonging when incongruence exists at home. Clients of all demographics are welcome.

Are you tired of the repetitive cycle of talk therapy which may bring short term relief but fails to provide lasting change? Are you exhausted from the overwhelming grip of anxiety or haunted by the ghosts of past traumas? Do low self-esteem and depression relentlessly hold you back, making life feel unmanageable? Unquestionably, these issues present immense challenges, but there is hope.

With more than 10 years of experience in psychotherapy and counselling, I have been working with adults and young adults who are struggling with their feelings, relationships or even life. At times, we may get stuck, feel overwhelmed or even lost. In face of these challenges, it is not uncommon to run away from them, or fight so hard trying to get rid of them. More often than not, neither way leads to a peaceful mind. I am here to walk with you in these struggles, work with you to navigate in a direction which aligns more with your values and leads to a more peaceful, meaningful and satisfying life.
