Family Systems Therapists in Oshawa, ON

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.

Hello! I have been a registered social worker since 2014. Being a child or youth can be really difficult sometimes, especially following the pandemic. While I work with people of all ages, my areas of focus are in supporting children, youth and families who are struggling to cope and need support to process their feelings and difficulties they may have, including a broad range of mental illness, wellness issues and/or social issues. This includes depression, anxieties, bullying/ school issues, caregiver relationship issues, and many more. While challenges can come in all shapes and sizes, you can learn new tools to deal with them.

I believe in relationships. It brings me great joy to be able to work with a couple on the verge of breaking up and to see them move to a healthier and happier place. I also enjoy working with individuals who are feeling unworthy, alone, and confused to find self love, healing, and fulfilling relationships. When I work with a couple my focus is always on the relationship. We’ll work together as a team, not on each other. Through couples therapy you can learn that most issues are common and can be worked through - things like improving communication, handling finances, and navigating conflict.

My own life experiences have led me on this journey.

Sometimes things happen in life and we do not know how to unpack everything ourselves.
