My practice centers on Mentalization-Based Treatment (MBT), a transformative approach that fosters self-awareness and strengthens relationships by helping clients understand their own minds and those of others. Drawing from MBT’s structured yet empathic framework, I guide clients through challenges like anxiety, trauma, or personality disorders, creating a safe space for meaningful change. I also integrate exposure-based trauma-focused therapy to address specific needs, tailoring each session to your unique goals.
As a Registered Psychotherapist, I bring a unique blend of cultural sensitivity and evidence-based expertise to virtual therapy across Canada. My journey from nursing to mental health counseling, enriched by immigrant experience, fuels my passion for helping clients navigate life’s complexities with clarity and resilience.
I work with adults and adolescents, individuals and groups, addressing issues such as relationship difficulties, traumatic stress, mood disorders, and personality disorders. Whether you’re seeking to heal from past wounds or build stronger connections, I'm here to support you.

I often use Mentalization-Based Treatment (MBT) in my practice. In your first session, we'll explore what brought you to therapy and begin developing an understanding of your thoughts, emotions, and interpersonal experiences. MBT focuses on strengthening your ability to reflect on your own mental states and those of others, helping you make sense of feelings and behaviors in a more flexible way.
