Manulife Therapists in Mississauga, ON

I am committed to making a difference with individuals to empower them to work through and move beyond any circumstances, challenges, or obstacles they are facing. I believe my training and lived experiences have equipped me adequately to provide support. My modality and support tools, empower and encourage individuals to maximize their inner strength and determination. I believe the first step to individual healing is to reach out for help and be willing to engage in the process of their recovery. The steps that follow move the individual forward beyond their current circumstances to live their desired life of peace, and happiness.

Accepting new clients. Each of us faces different challenges throughout our lives, and sometimes these challenges can start weighing down on us. They may begin to influence the way we think, feel, and live our lives. I believe that we can find it within ourselves to work towards the strength to face and process these challenges. I see therapy as a journey that can be meaningful in helping an individual make sense of and explore their unique experiences. I understand that being vulnerable can be difficult, so I prioritize providing a space that is judgment-free, culturally sensitive, and empathic.

I believe that there is good in every person, and hope in every situation. I have helped hundreds of individuals, couples, and families heal, grow, and connect. As a relational therapist, I appreciate the impact that our relationships have on our well-being. I do not see clients as having something wrong with their minds that necessarily needs to be fixed. Rather, I see my clients as unique individuals, each with their own stories and perspectives, embedded in important relationships and contexts that impact them. I see strengths and I see hope, even when it feels like there is none.
