When we embrace our trials and tribulations, and face them head on, we begin to take responsibility for ourselves and our experience of life. This fosters a connection with the source of our power that builds resilience to manage whatever may come. Developing the resourcefulness required to fashion a life that is fulfilling and supportive of our overall well-being is an ever-evolving process, and can be more clearly navigated with the help of a trusted professional.

Using a collaborative person-centred, culturally-, and trauma-informed approach, I aim to empower people to improve their quality of life through organic and systematic processes.

I can assist in addressing depression, anxiety, excessive stress, emotional regulation, interpersonal conflict, and life transitions amongst other challenges. I have extensive experience working with people impacted by Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD).

My lived experience helps me relate to my fellow members of the immigrant, BIPOC, and 2SLGBTQ+ communities, as well as those in polyamorous and Ethically Non-Monogamous (ENM) relationships.

In my personal time I enjoy cycling, swimming, and reading in my hammock. My creative outlets include writing, acting, and expressing the clown within. My happy place is a warm coastal beach.

The reality is, everyone has mental health but not everyone has been given the tools or safe space to learn how to take care of it, let alone acknowledge that they have it. A lie many believe is that in order to go to therapy, there needs to be something very big and wrong going on in our lives, however, I like to challenge this narrative. While yes, therapy is a place to unpack big experiences, this is also a safe space to explore your day to day quality of life. Picture yourself moving into your first house. You walk in and there are some very large boxes awaiting you. As you unpack these large boxes filled with appliances, your clothes, the bedding, you also come across smaller boxes that didn’t seem important at first but hold things you need each day like a can opener, sewing kit, first aid kit and miscellaneous tools. In order for the house to come together and feel safe, all the boxes need to be unpacked. When you are ready, I’d like to help you make your internal house feel like home again.

When in a session, I may transition between various frameworks depending on your goals and how you are feeling that particular day. While this may change from time to time, what you can always expect from me is a person-entered approach. Essentially what this means is that you decide the direction of our session and I come alongside you. I look forward to patterning with you whether it be to navigate challenges of depression, anxiety, gender-based experiences, life transitions, self-worth and self esteem, stress, inter-cultural experiences or you simply want to learn how to take care of your mental health on a daily basis.

When we are not in session, I am most likely spending time with my people, reminding anyone who will listen that store bought hummus is nowhere near the same as homemade, and submerging myself into different sub-cultures in my community through food, music and conversation!

To meet your individual needs and goals, I employ an integrative approach where I utilize techniques and interventions from multiple modalities such as Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Narrative Therapy, Solution-Focused Therapy, Experiential Therapy, and Emotion Focused Therapy. I am also proficient in Applied Behaviour Analysis (ABA) principles having worked with individuals with autism and intellectual disabilities for seven years. My lived and shared experiences also allow me to recognize the challenges faced by immigrants and the BIPOC community.

I understand that the pressures of the world can be a lot to handle at times, but my hope is to empower and support you towards growth, build effective coping strategies, and remind you of the gem that you truly are. So, I invite you to take my hand as we embark on this journey together to get you shining bright again.

I like to use an integrative approach, drawing from frameworks such as cognitive-behavioural, psychodynamic and mindfulness-based therapies. I operate from a person-centred, culturally informed lens. My personal experiences help me understand challenges including immigration and intergenerational conflict, as well as issues faced by marginalized communities.

In addition, my work with neurodiverse clients allows me to adapt my approach to best suit your needs. I aim to provide a safe and non-judgemental environment where we can work together to reach your goals.

Each of us has a unique and powerful story that deserves to be heard and validated. I believe in meeting people where they are and walking alongside them on the journey of exploring themselves and their strengths that precede healing, restoration, and growth. I am committed to empathetic listening and providing a safe space that is filled with genuine curiosity and a non-judgmental stance.

I employ an eclectic approach that is client-centered, anti-oppressive, and culturally sensitive, drawing from various theoretical orientations. I have experience working with clients struggling with substance use and related mental health disorders, survivors of sexual abuse, and a history of trauma. My lived experience helps me understand the challenges of immigrants and BIPOC communities and provides them with culturally appropriate skills and coping strategies to expand their resilience. I specialize in anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship issues, self-esteem, and suicidality in youth and adults.

To refuel myself, I engage in traveling, playing string instruments, Netflix crime thrillers, and of course, food!

Our life journey is always going to be filled with ups and downs, and although we have the strength and tools to handle most of the downs, occasionally we may need some support, encouragement, or a listening ear. I understand how upsetting and difficult these experiences may be and hope to build a partnership with you so we can face these challenges together. Travelling together on this journey, we will explore your needs, experiences, and goals, and work to uncover your strengths and resources so that we may identify and implement some solutions to the difficulties you are experiencing. I specialize in working with individuals who are experiencing difficulties with stress, anxiety, depression, self-worth, trauma, emotional regulation, suicidal thoughts, self-harm, and interpersonal conflict. Some of my personal hobbies include travelling, hiking, and reading. I also enjoy completing various do-it-yourself crafts, such as painting-by-numbers!
