Mississauga, ON L5V

I specialize in therapy for couples, individuals, and refugees. With over a decade of experience, I have supported clients facing behavioural challenges like depression, anxiety, anger, grief, and more. Through goal-oriented holistic approach infused with care and compassion, I ensure clients experience growth in both their personal lives and relationships. I have worked extensively with refugees from diverse backgrounds who have faced war, persecution and displacement by providing a culturally sensitive, supportive therapeutic environment integrating cultural sensitivity and understanding the unique challenges refugees face.

With a focus on couples therapy, I employ evidence-based approaches such as (EFT) for couples and The Gottman Method level 2. These scientific methods allow us to delve into the emotional dynamics underlying behaviour, guiding couples away from cycles of blame, shame, and resentment towards a path of appreciation, love, and connection.

Together we will explore unhelpful patterns of behaviours which prevent you from reaching your goals. Our therapeutic work can enable you to navigate habits, behaviours and beliefs that hold you back in life, and develop new patterns and strategies in a warm, non-judgemental and accepting environment where you will feel empowered to explore your strengths.
