Life is a series of challenges and the idea of therapy can be very daunting. My approach centers around normalizing your experiences step-by-step and empowering you via your strengths and goals. Engaging in conversations that appropriately challenge you and are collaborative helps me support your needs and growth.

I believe that in life we all need a non-judgmental & supportive space where we can feel safe and understood. If you've been feeling "stuck" or you've been through a big life transition or you've been experiencing a lot of stress, I am passionate about providing a safe space for you to be your authentic self and work through life's complexities. I provide a place for you to heal from the pains of the past & present, discover meaning in the world around you, and gain the effective coping mechanism you need for your every day challenges.

Currently accepting clients! Have stress and anxiety taken over your life? Maybe you’re always in go-go-go mode and struggle to slow down or relax. Chances are you’ve been stuck in a state of chronic fight or flight for a while now, but you don’t know how to get out of it. You’ve probably noticed your stress and anxiety showing up as not-so-fun physical symptoms (digestive or sleep issues anyone?). Anxiety affects our thoughts, but it wreaks havoc on our bodies and nervous systems too!

Working from a culturally sensitive and trauma-informed lens, helps me to address a range of concerns for my clients, including but not limited to, anxiety, depression, stress, trauma, self-worth, cultural challenges, relationship issues, and abuse.

Thank you for looking at my profile. It means you have taken the first step towards self care. Looking for a way to take care of your Mental, Emotional and Spiritual Self. Good for you! Now imagine your true self. The authentic you. Free from all the burdens you've been carrying. It is possible to be that self again. Together we will uncover and work through whatever you need to, to live the life you want. As we experience life, we sometimes struggle & suffer & build defences & adaptive behaviours to help us cope. Later on, these ways of being no longer serve us well and we want to free ourselves of them but find it too challenging.

Do you worry about the future? Are you experiencing relational difficulties & frustrations, and do you feel triggered by important others in your life? Do you cope by shutting down or avoidance, and end up feeling drained? Do you sometimes 'people please' or to achieve to feel a sense of self-worth and safety, and to avoid your feelings? Do you procrastinate and have difficulties focusing? Have you experienced losses or failures that have impacted your confidence and sense of self. If you are interested in self-exploration, coping better, managing anxiety, perfectionism, trauma, ADHD or depression, we can help.

My faith-based Christian practice is focused on providing anti-oppressive, culturally sensitive support to individuals of African, Caribbean, African Canadian/American heritage, and allies. My focus is help rebuild esteem, intimacy, trust, and friendship. Together, we can work on healing and provide you with the tools to grow individually, as a family, and/or couple to (re)establish a stronger sense of self; ensuring that when working with couples and families, we collaboratively cultivate, and maintain mutual respect while feeling heard, seen, valued, understood, and supported by your partner/family members.

If you're a South Asian couple (ages 22 to 35) attempting to navigate challenges in your relationship, I see and hear where you're coming from. Although you may have similar relationship desires to other couples, you are probably also navigating complexities around family & cultural expectations along with the different ways you or your partner's upbringing may be impacting how you show up in your relationship. This in turn could be bringing up a mix of emotions for you and your partner such as resentment, loneliness or guilt. You might also feel stuck on where or who to turn to with your challenges due to the fear of being judged.
