Many of the clients I work with are navigating the many different facets of perinatal experiences. I see women who are prenatal, postnatal, navigating fertility and loss. We work together on various aspects of perinatal mental health and wellness. Some include, navigating the ups and downs of pregnancy and postpartum, changes in roles and identities, changing relationship and communication dynamics, as well as, various perinatal mood disorders including anxiety, depression, OCD, and PTSD.

Every one of us has the innate capacity to move beyond our repetitive, limiting beliefs and reactions in order to grow and flourish. We can both acknowledge and process our pain and suffering AND want more meaning and engagement in life. Spanning over 15 years of practice, I help clients navigate experiences of depression, anxiety, trauma, relationship struggles, and life transitions. I also empower and share concrete practices with clients in their pursuit of greater life-purpose, meaning and vitality; to help them step out of their "autopilot" of day-to-day living to feel more alive and joyful.

As a mental health therapist and writer, I believe the stories we tell about our lives matter. Our motivations, fears, insecurities and curiosities are deeply embedded in these stories. I provide individual counselling/therapy support to clients who are looking for a safe, affirming and non-judgemental place to explore their unique stories and lives. My clinical training as a therapist reflects a commitment to providing people of color with access to mental health support, with a special interest in immigrant, refugee and LGBTQ communities.

My Specialties are: sex therapy, anxiety, stress, relationship issues, trauma, PTSD, sexual abuse, separation & divorce counselling and career testing (adults & teens). As a seasoned therapist, I use various modalities: CBT (cognitive-behaviour therapy), Adlerian, Reality, Attachment, Brief Solution-Focussed and Art Therapy (children & teens). LGBTQ Positive.

Do you wish things were different? I work with diverse clients facing life's transitions and challenges. My theoretical framework is relational, using both talk therapy and/or creative/expressive arts modalities. Following your lead, I listen/witness and attune carefully in order to attend to your specific need. We start with where you are most comfortable, which means that talking, imagery, dreamwork and silence are all welcome. Although I work flexibly between short term talk therapy (psychodynamic psychotherapy) and expressive/creative arts, we safely build our relationship, while co-creating in our therapeutic studio space.

For anyone out there who feels like they are failing at “having it all,” I’m here to break it to you. You haven’t failed. Attaining perfection in our lives is a myth, and it’s holding so many of us back from the happiness we deserve. Especially in this modern day and age, we are flooded with highlight reels of what our lives should be. While most of us would admit that no one’s life can be picture perfect 24/7, many of us still stretch ourselves too thin to “do it all” to gain acceptance from society. The truth is this... It is almost impossible to have a picture perfect life without serious consequences to your wellbeing!
