Tired of telling your friends about your situationship, your micromanaging boss, or feelings you can’t quite make sense of? Sometimes you just need a space to vent and be heard, while a trained professional helps you recognize underlying mental health symptoms & unhealthy behavioural patterns. Many of the people I work with are trying to figure out how to navigate cultural expectations, their own personal goals, and the pressure of comparing themselves to what they see on social media.
I specialize in working with teens and adults, combining trauma-informed care and cultural sensitivity with evidence-based methods which include DBT skills, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, somatic healing, and motivational and acceptance based skill building to support self-esteem, resilience, and personal growth.
Whether you’re balancing school, career pressures, unhealthy relationships, family expectations, or trying to figure out your next step, therapy offers a space to slow down and sort through what’s going on. Together, we’ll identify coping skills, engage in mindfulness, strengthen your confidence, and help you move forward with greater clarity and resilience.

I often engage clients in DBT and mindfulness practises as we begin developing our therapeutic relationship. As we work together to unpack your story, we will explore which modalities work best for you by exploring your attachments & identifying harmful patterns. We will then work together to help you set healthy boundaries & arm you with a variety of coping skills that you can use in the future.
