I often work with teens and young adults to live more freely and openly as themselves.
Life is full of contradictions: We can have close relationships yet still feel isolated, have the desire for change but feel attached to the past, and have the hunger to live creatively with the need for stability. As human beings, relationships are central to our lives. Painful patterns and repetitions can exist within our own internal relationship and with others. This can lead to symptoms of anxiety, depression, or lowered self-esteem. My passion is to provide a safe, honest, inviting and collaborative therapeutic space to explore and work through these inner conflicts.

One of the lesser-known benefits of therapy is that beyond working through the issues at hand, it creates meaningful discussion to help you live the most authentic version of yourself. As spiritual and/or religious beings, we all have a higher purpose. Therapy is a space to support you in discovering what your purpose is, what blocks are holding you back, and how to move forward to achieve greater peace and contentment. Special focus on loss of meaning, self-exploration, lack of belonging, depression, anxiety, family trauma, and relationship concerns is provided. Young adults and clients from Eastern Europe are a great fit.

I often work alongside young adults and teens who live a creative and unconventional lifestyle and who have a unique set of struggles and strengths. Some are dealing with issues related to identity and self-understanding, and others are doing their best to manage the depth and complexity of their emotional landscape. I see a lot of deep thinkers, over-analyzers, perfectionists, and clients battling self-doubt or imposter syndrome. Anxiety or ADHD symptoms can often be intertwined with these struggles.

These tools can be especially helpful with young adults, culturally diverse groups, individuals who experience neurodivergence or have experienced trauma, or those who face challenges navigating personal relationships.
Having the right therapist to talk to and collaborate with on your goals, challenges, and emotional turmoil can help put things into perspective and create a plan for success. It can be challenging to navigate the world in the face of oppression, disability, stigma, and other barriers to success. My therapy draws on inner strengths and authenticity to manage complex thoughts and emotions and increase feelings of empowerment. I emphasize meaning-making, the importance of self-efficacy, and perceived control of experiences in the healing process from cognitive, somatic, and social-constructivist perspectives.

I work primarily with adults and have experience working with diverse and marginalized communities.
I believe that we are all unique individuals and when we become entangled in life’s twists and turns, they take away from our ability to recognize our inner strengths. I work from a multi-cultural trauma-informed stance to foster a safe and inclusive therapeutic space where vulnerability can be embraced. My work is grounded in integrating approaches such as Mindfulness, Cognitive Behavioural (CBT) and Emotion Focused Therapies (EFT). I aim to collaboratively understand an individual’s unique experience and work alongside to equip them with knowledge and tools to strive towards living a more meaningful and authentic life.

I have experience with youth and adults experiencing crisis and navigating an array of concerns, including anxiety, stress, depression, abuse, grief, and suicidality.
Do you suffer from overwhelming emotions, depression, or anxiety? Are you feeling adrift or disconnected in your relationships? I bring an open curiosity to your experiences – whatever those may be – and, working together, we can uncover and navigate the internal and external obstacles you face. My goal as your therapist is to create a genuine, empathetic relationship between you and I, through which healing and change can take place. I also see individuals as embedded in broader social contexts that shape how we think, feel, and behave, and which may be implicated in psychological and interpersonal problems.

I've worked therapeutically with diverse populations, in correctional and community settings, with families, adolescents and adults, for about 20 years. My approach is nuanced and responsive; my lens is anti-oppressive, attachment and trauma informed, queer and trans affirming, and psycho-dynamically and somatically attuned. To me, this means listening to, and noticing with you, communication from various verbal and non-verbal levels. It also means witnessing and acknowledging cultural, systemic, and familial legacies of power and oppression and their impact on our internal and external lives.

If you're feeling anxious, overwhelmed, and uncertain about managing life's challenges, you might wonder whether it's possible to find peace amidst life's changes and transitions. I work with adults around various concerns including (but not limited to) challenging family dynamics, relationship issues, chronic illness and cancer, grief, and depression and anxiety. Within these dynamics, I have a particular focus in working with first- and second-generation immigrants of East Asian backgrounds. Every challenge we face holds potential for growth to live more authentically to who you are, and who you want to be.

I provide talk therapy services and art psychotherapy services for adults and teens 16+ and honour the uniqueness of each person – their beliefs, values and intersectionality of experiences.
Sometimes, feelings of depression, anxiety, anger, resentment, worthlessness and isolation can persist and make us feel stuck or hopeless. It can feel like being on a hamster wheel – repeating the same unproductive patterns or harmful behaviours. Therapy can help with emotional processing and connect us with our inner world. It makes room for the difficult emotions and experiences that need our attention and greater understanding. Through deeper awareness, we can then explore new perspectives and solutions and a clearer way forward to a better quality of life.

The clients that I connect with are often sensitive and reflective. They may feel somehow different or misunderstood. I work well with teenagers and young adults; queer clients of all ages; people navigating ADHD; folks who have been confined to institutions; and "over-thinkers" who are interested in becoming more connected with themselves, their bodies, and the world around them. My background in critical mental health research grounds my practice in compassion, justice, and freedom.
