I aim to be trans parent and collaborative, and always strive to help make the client feel comfortable and free from judgment.
I often find that clients seek therapy as a last resort, because they've tried everything else and still find themselves stuck dealing with the same issues. It's not always easy to identify what is standing in the way, but it can be reassuring to know that once you have, change is possible. I help clients explore, understand, and navigate their experiences with depression, burnout, anxiety, low self-esteem, ADHD, interpersonal conflict, trauma, and life transitions (new/step parent, separation/divorce, and career changes). By learning about your motivations, needs and resources, you can improve self-regulation and flexibility.

New parenthood is such a tender time for couples. Whether you are trying to start a family, are a first time parent or a parent now managing more than one young child, you can find yourself depleted, overwhelmed, and experiencing a rollercoaster of emotions along with guilt at how that might be impacting your children. If you are managing a new baby with other young children, you may find that your older children are acting out at a time when you are sleep deprived and struggling to stay patient. Perhaps you and your partner hardly have time to connect and you feel distance or disconnected.

My approach is holistic, integrative, and client-centred, grounded in various modalities and drawing upon my experiences as a mother, daughter, wife, sister, caregiver to a chronically ill parent, third-culture kid, immigrant, community builder, unlearner, and entrepreneur.
Life is a messy, unpredictable journey that requires us to navigate a whirlwind of emotions. The ups and downs, the highs and lows, are all part of what makes us human. This mix of emotions—moments of joy and heartache, clarity and confusion—is where we find meaning, growth, and the strength to keep moving forward. Embracing the messiness enables us to truly live, feel deeply, and discover ourselves in the process. I would be honoured to meet you where you are on your journey and help you release outgrown stories from the past in order to embody authenticity and break cycles, all while facilitating the healing and change you seek.

I help you cope with anxiety and depression. I do this in stages. The first stage is to offer tools to regulate your emotions before they become unmanageable and lead to panic attacks or isolation. In the second stage I help you discover things about yourself that you are not fully aware of. With this self discovery, you will understand WHY you do what you do in life, HOW you became the person that you are today and HOW to transform certain aspects of yourself that no longer serve you to become the amazing person you were born to be.
