As a young adult, navigating life with anxiety, depression, or trauma can be disorienting, especially if cultural influences amplify pressure to create stability in your life. This can make you withdraw & feel all the more disconnected from yourself & others. I understand how this impacts your daily life, academics, career, & relationships, which is why as an empathetic therapist, I create a safe space for you to explore your multifaceted identities, develop coping strategies, & build resilience. Together let’s address your unique challenges, nurture self-empowerment, and map a path forward in which you thrive with confidence & joy!

Angry much? Are you and your partner arguing more than ever? Is someone threatening to leave if you don’t change your angry ways? Perhaps your anger even surprises YOU at times. If any of this sounds familiar, let’s talk! Whether you feel alone in your anger - or worry you’ll end-up alone if you don’t ‘do something’ about it - this can be a pretty painful place to be. If you’ve got the energy and desire to get to know yourself a little better, and have the interest to explore your inner 'landscape' more thoroughly, then I encourage you to book a free consult so we can chat more about what’s happening and what may be possible!

Is anxiety getting in the way of living the life you want? Maybe you are trying to work through complex trauma and aren't sure where to start. I work with people looking to heal relationships with themselves, ultimately leading to better relationships with others. Many of my clients self identify as people pleasers or perfectionists, who have a tough time slowing down and putting themselves first. We might have a hard time finding the balance between shutting down our emotions and having them take over. I have a special interest in helping people navigate complicated family dynamics and heal from childhood trauma.

Has trauma left you feeling lost, on edge, generally scared, or disconnected from others? Are there childhood experiences you'd like to resolve? Do you struggle in relationships and often feel alone, misunderstood and somehow different? Has your experience with a religious group left you feeling bad about who you are and with more fears than answers? Are you struggling with the question, "Who am I"? Does depression or anxiety leave you spinning or struggling to enjoy life? I have experience working in these areas with clients, and it would be my privilege to join you as you work your way through to the other side.

I work with individuals seeking guidance, emotional support, mental clarity, harmony in mind and body. Whether experiencing relationship conflict, stress, grief, trauma or seeking new perspectives and fresh solutions on your life journey, the essence of my approach is to provide a safe, supportive base where you can explore, understand, and heal issues causing discomfort and imbalance in your life. Physical limitations, social discomfort, and the challenge of living in a fast-paced changing world all contribute to "dis-ease" in the body/mind. This can present itself in the form of anxiety, depression, chronic pain, insomnia, eating disorders, addiction and more.

I strive to create a non-judgmental space for clients to feel safe and share their stories. In my work, I consider how physical and mental health are related to clients’ histories, relationships, and cultures. Having lived experience as a multicultural individual and understanding the nuances of holding varying identities, I incorporate trauma-informed, anti-oppressive, and multicultural perspectives with clients. These perspectives allow me to create a sensitive and affirming environment that helps clients feel heard, understood, accepted and empowered to make the changes they want to see. I work with individual adults (17+).

Finding a therapist can be stressful in and of itself, I want to meet you where you are and work with you to help you find who you want to be. Much of my work is geared towards working with each client to align best with individual needs. I like to be lighthearted and use humor in my practice. I also call myself a Gen Z therapist. My educational background of an undergraduate degree in Psychology and Women’s and Gender Studies has profoundly shaped my perspective and provided me with an intersectional feminist lens to work with a diverse group of people.

Female Counsellors
Does it matter what gender my therapist is?
In general, this is not an important factor, as there is no relationship between a therapist’s gender and their efficacy. Some clients, however, prefer to see therapists of a particular gender, whether due to their own past experiences with men and women, or ingrained beliefs about how people of different genders think and behave. Exploring the roots of such preferences and considering what one wants to address in therapy can help someone determine whether their therapist’s gender truly matters to them.
Should I see a female therapist?
Many people—not just women—prefer to see a female therapist, either because they believe that a woman will be able to relate to their specific challenges (for example, sexism in the workplace) or because they imagine feeling more comfortable disclosing sensitive information to a woman. Such beliefs may not turn out to be accurate, however, and adhering too rigidly to a gender preference can at times hinder a client from finding the best therapeutic match.
Do therapists get specific training to help with women’s concerns?
Therapists are trained to provide care to clients of any gender. However, some therapists—both men and women—may pursue additional training in feminist therapy, gender-specific issues, or women’s mental health. Female clients may wish to ask prospective therapists whether they have received specific training in the client’s primary area(s) of concern, or whether they have worked extensively with women on issues similar to their own.
How can I inquire about a therapist’s experience in treating women?
It’s OK—even encouraged!—to ask a therapist directly whether and how often they have treated women in the past, or whether they have treated women dealing with the client’s most prominent concern(s). Competent therapists will be happy to share their educational background, preferred treatment modalities, and prior client experience to help an individual find the therapist best suited to their needs.
