If you are looking to explore patterns in your relationships and create healthier ways of connecting, I can walk alongside you on your journey. If you want help deconstructing old beliefs (including religious or cultural), navigating identity exploration and self-development, or to unpack the impact of discrimination, systemic challenges, or intersectional experiences, I am the therapist for you. I help clients by bringing authenticity and thoughtful reflection and work to create an affirming and collaborative space.
My personal journey deeply informs my therapeutic approach. Experiences of navigating systemic barriers, supporting siblings with developmental disorders, and religious deconstruction have shaped my understanding of self-compassion, empathy, identity, and resilience. I've refined a therapeutic style is both culturally sensitive and profoundly human.
I believe that therapy is most powerful when it honours the whole person (their culture, history, and unique lived experience). My work is culturally inclusive, trauma-informed, and grounded in authenticity. Clients can expect a therapist who walks beside them with curiosity, compassion, and respect for their autonomy.
