If you’re feeling caught between different cultural expectations, struggling with self-perception, relationship issues, or work stress, I can help.

I offer a supportive, empathetic space where you can feel understood and find the culturally-informed guidance you need.

Throughout my almost a decade of experience, a common thread I have found in the majority of my clients has been rigidly conclusive thought processes & an automatic tendency of disregarding self positivity. When we are used to the familiar of negativity, it is easy for anxiety, depression & self doubt to take hold. It is empowering to accept that a change may be necessary. Acknowledging this is a positively significant step, initiating help for ourselves fundamentally lays the groundwork for big picture work.

Presently, I am a student Masters level in Counselling Psychology practicing under clinical supervision. My approach to therapy consists primarily of building a strong therapeutic relationship with my clients. I value the unique dignity of every human person. I see the therapeutic relationship as a way of affective “being” with a person as opposed to effective “doing”. One of my goals is to reveal my client's intrinsic goodness. Therefore, I aim to provide a safe, non-judgmental environment in my therapy sessions. For a theoretical method, I use an integrative psychotherapy approach based on research-based theories.

Hope is powerful and is often what helps us push forward when life’s challenges become confusing and overwhelming. Yet, hope can be difficult to find and hold on to. I cannot promise solutions, but I am committed to walking with individuals, couples, and families in their search for understanding, growth, healing, and hope. I take a holistic and collaborative approach in exploring deeper emotions and thought patterns in past and present experiences.

Psychoanalytic (or psychodynamic) therapy can help us to become more aware of our thinking patterns and behaviours so we can better understand the obstacles that may be standing in our way. With time, we can gain new perspectives and develop the capacity to deal with life's twists and turns, and meet our needs over the long-term.

Oversharing. Masking. Time blindness. Procrastination. Impulsive spending. Difficulty focusing at school/work. Hyperfixations. Rejection sensitivity. Emotional rollercoaster. Whether you just got diagnosed with ADHD or suspect you have it, you finally have an answer to why you always felt "different". You’ve tried everything you can to try and help your symptoms - medication, meditation, time blocking, planners, self-help books, journaling - but nothing seems to work for long. It was "fine" for a while, but now it's starting to show up as problems in your closest relationships - be it with friends, partners, family, or at work
