I recognize that each person approaches life transitions & change with a unique set of values, beliefs, and past experiences. It’s also true that each person's experience is different, and can come with a variety of thoughts, feelings, and consequences that vary from person to person.

Accepting new clients! Using a trauma-informed and multicultural perspective, I work with clients who face challenges arising from stress, anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties,
career
and life transitions. I centre my therapeutic orientation around my clients’ intersectional identities, specific contexts and goals. I primarily use evidence-based cognitive behavioural therapeutic (CBT) approaches. However, I don't believe one size fits all and so draw upon other models to form an effective integrated approach.
