Are you struggling with anxiety in the form of worrying, intrusive thoughts, or maybe other uncomfortable experiences such as panic? Perhaps you have experienced a traumatic situation at work or in your personal life that continues to impact your life months or years down the line. These experiences can take us away from living lives consistent with our vision or values. Change can be difficult, yet very rewarding. I have 8 years of experience guiding individuals in their wellness journeys toward improved clarity and alignment with their values and goals.

I provide counselling and therapy to Individuals and Teens. I understand that starting therapy can be a significant and daunting step, and I’m here to create a safe and supportive space for you. My therapeutic approach emphasizes establishing a strong and unwavering relationship with clients as the foundation for successful therapy. Having migrated to Canada at a young age and grown up immersed in diverse cultures, I am deeply aware of the acculturation challenges that new immigrants face. Thus, it would be a privilege to support you or your loved ones in the journey toward acceptance, empowerment, and resilience.

I offer a safe space for clients to explore emotions and challenges openly, using CBT, DBT, mindfulness, and trauma-informed care. I welcome diverse clients including military, indigenous, LGBTQ2S+, and students, aiming to minimize barriers to growth. My approach focuses on empowering individuals to navigate anxiety, depression, trauma, or personal development, fostering resilience and authenticity in their journey towards emotional healing and well-being.

Life can be challenging at times and for most people, the last few years have been even more challenging. It takes courage to reflect on one’s life and seek professional assistance with difficult situations. I would like to applaud you for considering therapy as a step towards improving your wellness. I am passionate about offering support to individuals going through difficult times. It is an honour for me to be part of someone’s healing journey. I have experience working with individuals of diverse cultures, religions, genders and sexual orientations. I'm particularly interested in trauma, addiction and relationship challenges.

You just made the first step in your journey! Therapy is a process that allows you to understand yourself and heal from within becoming the best version of you. I provide a warm space for clients that want to work on issues including eating disorders, trauma, OCD, anxiety, burnout/stress, and chronic illnesses. Seeing the change in my clients from the first day they sit in my office chair to the last is why I do what I do!

Hi there! Choosing a therapist can be so difficult and it’s important to find someone who you feel seen and heard by. We may be a good fit if you are queer, neurodiverse, have a complicated relationship with family, or feel like you don’t quite fit in anywhere. I hope to support my clients with finding meaning, fulfillment, and purpose in their lives whether that be healing past wounds, making sense of ones’ identity, or navigating life transitions. You also don’t need to know exactly what you’re looking for or need, that can be a valuable part of the process too.

Everyone needs support at times. In my practice, I work with clients aged 16+ who are experiencing issues related to anxiety, low mood, self-esteem, ADHD, disordered eating, and/or substance use issues. I also support clients in improving communication, managing stress, and enhancing overall emotional wellbeing. Together we will help you understand your "stuck" points and shift out of old cycles that are no longer serving you, so you can live a life that feels authentic and meaningful for you.

Recovery and healing from trauma can be a process that changes over time, and it’s rare that there is a single approach. When working with trauma sometimes therapy aims to support gradual changes that enhance coping, while also processing how patterns and reactions can be changed. Sometimes change is not the goal, and self-understanding by processing the impacts of traumatic experiences is the focus.

Sometimes we find ourselves entangled in threads of emotions. Whether its grief, anger, unspoken guilt, or unexplained fear. We find ourselves stuck in relationships that are no longer serving our wellbeing. We get lost with no visible exit. And at times, the shadows of our past traumas loom large, casting over our present, shaping the way we feel, act, and relate to the world.
