As a queer first-generation immigrant, I felt lost trying to adjust to a new country while grieving the community left behind. I struggled with shame, loneliness, and lack of support. In finding a therapist that understood my experience, shifts started to happen. I felt seen and validated and new possibilities emerged. It is this transformative experience that motivated me to start my practice centering queer and racialized voices with anti-oppression and de-colonization at the forefront.

In starting therapy or returning to it, you may be seeking someone to talk to, psychological perspectives, tools and resources, and change. You may be struggling with depression, anxiety, or any of the long list of names given to conditions we can struggle with. My approach is client-centered as you are the expert on you, and I prefer to not pathologize and stigmatize. My perspective is that there are causes and contributors to the thoughts, feelings and behaviours which we find most difficult, and which can become traits and labels - and yet also - which can be changed.

My therapy practice is Relationally Focused, which means that it is the co-created relationship between us that is the healing force of the therapy: for individuals or for couples. Our sessions draw upon our experiences of the past and bring to light how these experiences get repeated in the present- often without our knowing. Whether it is a way of relating that keeps repeating over and over in our lives, whether it is the same debilitating anxiety that keeps getting in the way of our moving forward, or depression that casts a shadow over our prospects of joy; these early life experiences (whether in childhood or older) keep
