I love working with young adults, as well as supporting individuals through pregnancy, early parenthood and beyond. Becoming a parent is profoundly life-changing. While we anticipate the joys of parenthood, we don't always expect for it to feel this hard. It can bring up intense, sometimes scary or confusing feelings. It can be overwhelming and lonely. I provide a safe, nonjudgmental space for you to understand, process and cope with the changes in your life. By talking about your experiences, you can feel less alone and less overwhelmed, and together we can find ways for you to feel more grounded again.

Sometimes life is just achingly hard. Despite best efforts, the weight of our burdens can overwhelm us. When we're stuck in the dark, ways to move forward might feel impossible. Therapy is a safe haven to set down your cares, to explore what hurts, what's not working, and what you wish were different. It's a space where you're free to wonder, receive support, and discover personal strengths and possibilities. I work with both individual clients and couples, helping them move towards deeper self-understanding, resilience and ease in their lives.

Are you ready to make a change in your life and are committed to the process of therapy? Do you have a willingness to show up for yourself and are able to take responsibility for your piece in the work? I enjoy working with individuals who have mood disorders such as anxiety and depression as well as emotional regulation and attentional issues. Are you someone who has thought about what you would like to get out of therapy and are ready to take the plunge and build new healthy habits? If so, you are my ideal client, regardless of diagnosis and life circumstances.

At times life can take unexpected turns and twists that can leave you feeling not quite like yourself; perhaps feeling unsettled, overwhelmed, or lost. With over 20 years of experience, I address issues involving complex challenges and concerns related to life transitions, fertility/pregnancy, interrupted pregnancy and infant loss, the dying/death process, mental health concerns, and navigating issues related to relationships of importance.

Have you been struggling with infertility, or questioning whether or not you would like to become a parent? Maybe you have suffered losses in the process of trying to start a family. You might be be a new parent struggling with hormonal shifts, lack of sleep, challenges with feeding, wondering how to divide household labour between you and your partner and navigating new dynamics in your relationship. Have you have been managing mood challenges or are you simply exhausted and need to chat with someone who gets it?

A Concurrent Disorder occurs when an individual is experiencing a mental health problem and a substance use problem at the same time. As a therapist working with both of these issues, I can support you with enhancing your motivation for change, identifying triggers, regulating emotions and urges, and with relapse prevention planning.

In this moment, you may be feeling stressed, overwhelmed, anxious or burned out by life's challenges or transitional chapters. I believe that healing is growth in the face of adversity; it is a journey of coming (back) into yourself with deep self compassion, and we all have insight into how to get there. Sometimes we just need a bit of support along the way; someone to hold (non judgemental space) and work alongside us to find solutions, develop coping strategies and build on our own skills and wisdom so that we are more emotionally resilient to life's challenges.

Waitlist for new clients
Having worked in educational and mental health organizations since 1996, I have extensive experience assisting older adolescents and young adults to manage their mental health, social development and learning needs while navigating the increasingly complex journey to adulthood. With a variety of evidence- based approaches, I assist clients to reduce impacts of symptoms, build skills and self confidence, and to develop their internal resources to become the creators of their lives; lives that bring fulfillment and that are aligned with their core interests, values and passions.

Being a human can be beautiful, but also hard- often sticky and overwhelming, full of stress, anxieties, transitions, uncertainties, loss and grief. Recognizing that it can be hard to ask for help if you're struggling, or if you just want to find more meaning and fulfillment- you do not have to do it alone. Whatever you are currently experiencing, we will work collaboratively to build up your resources and resilience, navigate relationships and establish positive coping skills while we unpack feelings, thoughts and patterns of behaviour that are no longer serving you.

As a BIPOC immigrant psychotherapist, I'm ready to work with you to navigate through any life challenges that may arise. I look forward to supporting you through any issues related to everyday life, major life transitions, relationships, self-identity, addictions, loss, career/life goals, motivation, anxiety, depression, and stress management. Having worked with our community’s most vulnerable and marginalized over the past 14 years, I know what it feels like to ask yourself why me? Why does this always happen to me? Why do I feel like I am behind everyone else in life? Feeling stuck? Good news, you are not alone!

Accepting new clients, no waiting! Feeling stuck or anxious and can’t seem to shake it? Maybe you’re feeling more snappy or drained but you aren’t sure why, you just know it doesn’t feel like YOU. Things like hyper-independence, people-pleasing and burnout from stress or trauma can make it hard to prioritize your needs (or even know what your needs truly are!) I can help through a process of uncovering unhelpful patterns, facilitating emotional awareness, and healing past wounds that might be holding you back.

Seeing a therapist can be both daunting & exciting. Being vulnerable with someone, let alone a stranger, is tough for many. My hope with all individuals is to provide them with a safe space, that is comfortable & healing. My office is judgment-free & I am here to best support those willing to seek growth & change. What to expect when first seeing me? Relief & hope. I am aware that so many people want to be heard & validated, especially those in difficult relationships. I also believe that people enter therapy feeling stuck. We will shift between your past & present, identifying negative beliefs that continue to challenge you.
