Two core beliefs I bring to therapy are: 1) our experiences can shape us without defining us and 2) meaningful growth towards our values is possible. In navigating immigration, loss, multicultural identity, and high-pressure jobs, I understand how going through changes, challenges, or losses can feel confusing, frustrating, exhausting, and lonely. If you're seeking therapy to explore questions that are coming up, process what you're going through, or figure out what is next; I welcome you! I offer a safe and supportive environment to bring your full self and thoughtful dialogue for self-reflection, self-compassion, and growth.
I work with clients managing anxiety, burnout, career and life transitions, depression, grief, intersectional identities, neurodiversity, and trauma. I draw from different therapy approaches (such as ACT, CBT, DBT, humanistic, somatic), consider the mind-body connection, and use trauma-informed and culturally responsive lenses to understand your experiences.
Therapy with me is guided by your goals, focused on your strengths, and includes practical tools for reflection between sessions. I hope to create a space where you can be fully yourself, weaving in humour, inspirational quotes, and interactive exercises when it feels right for you. My goal is to offer understanding and support in ways that fit you best!
