I consider it a special privilege to be able to work with individuals, couples and families as they try to navigate the challenges that life can bring. I do not see myself as the 'expert' in a person's life or experience but work with my clients to help them to break down the barriers that can get in the way of being the person, couple or family that they would prefer to be. My approach is collaborative and I believe that a strong therapeutic connection creates a climate for change that can have lasting results.

Do you struggle with your emotions, mental or physical health, or in relationships? Perhaps you are dealing with a challenging or traumatic situation in life, at work or school? Or you are feeling a more indescribable, general sense of instability but you don't understand why? First off, let me say you are not alone. Nobody is immune to developing life problems, experiencing traumatic incidences, struggling with life transitions, or developing mental or physical health issues that are difficult to cope with. Nobody is immune to times of feeling overwhelmed, over-stressed or confused; in fact, it is not all that uncommon.

Hey there - As a therapy survivor myself, I know that it is often hard to reach out. I want to encourage you that I can relate, and also know that the first step to change comes with taking a courageous leap to work on your own goals! I am incredibly passionate about my role as a Registered Psychotherapist (with the CRPO). Life has had its share of ups and downs for me, which I believe have helped me understand my clients in a deeper level. I find a lot of joy out of those 'ah-ha' moments, when a client breaks free from what is holding them back, or finds healing on their journey. It's truly an honour to walk with every client!

As a mother, you’ve done all your homework and have read all the scripts on what should be done, but for some reason, you’re still not feeling satisfied. You seem to have a never ending to-do list that overwhelms you and always seems to pull you away from what you truly want: a deeper connection to yourself, your partner, and your children. Within the ocean of “shoulds”, you are feeling anxious, resentful, unseen and unheard, while asking yourself, “What’s the point of working so hard?” As you try to keep up with all of the things, everything seems to be bubbling over and like it’s about to explode.

I use modalities like internal family systems, somatic therapy, emotion-focused and focusing, promoting mind-body integration and right-left brain integration.
I help second-gen immigrants move out of survival mode and break generational cycles for good, so that they can speak their truth, live authentically and find peace in the present. As a child of immigrant parents, you probably straddle two worlds and navigate powerful family and cultural expectations. You may be feeling stuck, discouraged or even overwhelmed as a result. Yet there's a way to break the cycle so that you're both respecting your family and being true to yourself. If you're motivated to leave a different legacy to your kids, then you're exactly the kind of person I can help.

Engaging in the field of mental health and holistic practices for over 15 years has taught me that we have the internal capacity to manage our own well-being with co-regulation. If you find yourself emotionally, mentally or physically overwhelmed or life feels painful and unmanageable, support is available. If you find yourself wanting more capacity for life, focusing on your inner world and reflecting on your perceptions, belief systems and relational patterns will begin to create a pathway through to your inner self guidance, which spills over into your outer world experience.

Family Systems Counsellors
Family Systems therapists view problems within the family as the result not of particular members' behaviors, but of the family's group dynamic. The family is seen as a complex system having its own language, roles, rules, beliefs, needs and patterns. The therapist helps each individual member understand how their childhood family operated, their role in that system, and how that experience has shaped their role in the current family.
