Illness or the threat of illness can change you. You may feel like the rug has been pulled from beneath you and everything that has felt normal and routine has changed. While it is true you can’t control that the illness or diagnosis happened to you, you can control how you respond to it and what approach you want to take to drive your care, recovery and outlook. Allow me to stand with you while you navigate your experience knowing you are giving yourself a chance to take care of your emotional health alongside your physical health.

Some wounds don’t show on the surface but shape everything underneath. I support individuals exploring identity, relationships, and the lasting effects of painful or complex family dynamics. For many, this can include the impact of cultural or generational histories, immigration, or early experiences that continue to influence how we relate, cope, and make decisions today. As an international, transracial adoptee, I bring both lived experience and clinical grounding, offering space to slow down, reflect, and begin with compassion and collaboration.

You can be functioning day to day and still feel overwhelmed by what your body, or your experiences, have put you through. I work with adults, seniors, and first responders living with illness, injury, or trauma.
These experiences can affect how you see yourself, your relationships, and your sense of control. You may feel stuck, disconnected, or like you’re just getting through the day. In therapy, we work to make sense of what you’ve been through and develop practical ways to cope, process, and move forward at a pace that feels manageable.

You long for a job where you can live up to your potential and you’re not sure about this career anymore. Every workday, it’s harder to get out of bed. You’ve considered changing jobs but are scared you’re the problem. The idea of change feels overwhelming because you overthink and you don’t know where to start. But you aren’t sure if you’ll ever find a place where you belong, whether or you’re neurotypical or are grappling with ADHD. Maybe counselling has given you some insights but now you wonder if you need someone who specializes in career counselling or coaching.

I obtained my Ph.D. in Clinical Psychology from Concordia University. I am a Professor in the Department of Psychology at l'Université du Québec à Montréal (UQAM).

I am so glad you’re here. Maybe life feels overwhelming right now, or maybe you’re navigating anxiety, trauma, ADHD, relationship challenges or all of the above. Maybe you’re not sure where to begin, or you’ve already been doing the work and want to keep going. Wherever you are on your journey, you’re welcome here. When everything starts piling up, gradually or all at once, it’s easy to lose touch with yourself. In all that noise, clarity and connection to your authentic self can feel distant. I understand how exhausting that can be. My goal is to create a safe, collaborative environment where you can explore your concerns.

I work with people who are seen as capable and easy to get along with, but identify as people-pleasers. You have hard time knowing what you want and asking for it, and become increasingly burned out as your boundaries blur.
You might recognize that: You focus on making others comfortable, and what will cause the least disruption or conflict. Small decisions are difficult. Boundaries are alien. Saying "no" is unpleasant, so you agree to things and feel irritated, resentful or drained afterwards. It's difficult to identify your feelings, values, or preferences, and people don't seem to know 'the real you'.

I believe we're all one conversation or reflection away from a radical shift in perspective — but is that shift always desirable? Can therapy potentially backfire? Are some things better left unknown? If so, then we might not be a good fit, because I tend to play the devil's advocate more often than I should.

The ability to navigate today's world is very tough. And its affect on our mental health is very real. Maybe you are noticing changes in your mood and sleep patterns, or the things you once used to easily deal with have, all of a sudden, become much harder. Or perhaps you are noticing your anxiety has increased or that you are having trouble with motivation. Or maybe the people who care about you have noticed some changes in you and expressed their concerns. These are all signs that many people are experiencing - you are not alone! But these signals may also mean, that it's time to invest in your wellbeing and mental health.

Do you ever feel like your mind is constantly "on," jumping from one worry to the next? Perhaps you're carrying the weight of discrimination, marginalization, or the quiet exhaustion of never quite feeling like you belong. Holding an identity with multiple marginalized intersections and first-hand experience in crisis counselling and behavioural therapy, my therapeutic space is deeply attuned to how sociocultural and systemic factors shape emotional well-being. Grounded in inclusivity, I offer a warm and compassionate space for individuals aged 14 and up.

If you struggle to manage intense emotions, get through distressing situations or maintain stable relationships, then Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT) may be suitable for you. It is a treatment best suited for problems related to emotion dysregulation (including borderline personality disorder, anxiety, depression, aggression, substance use, eating disorder, self-harm and suicidal behaviour). I offer both individual sessions and group, or both combined. Contact me and we can decide which model fits your needs best. Please visit: https://www.nurturedmindpsychotherapy.com to read more about DBT, program pricing, and to register.

I believe that everyone can benefit from therapy, and that it should be accessible to all. Starting counselling can be scary, intimidating and overwhelming, and that is okay. At Art of Thriving I seek to create space where we can go on a journey together towards building a stronger relationship with yourself and building towards your goals. I don't believe that there is only one form of therapy that works for everyone. What I seek to do is learn from you, and create an approach around the unique individual that you are. You are the expert of your own reality, and I am here to just assist you in your journey.
