Are you feeling stuck in relationship conflict, family stress, or life transitions like new parents, fertility, postpartum, or divorce? You may be feeling isolated while navigating PCOS, PMDD, PPA/PPD, hormonal changes, mood disorders, or emotional overwhelm while trying to hold everything together. I support individuals and couples from diverse, racial and LGBTQIA+ communities in understanding how trauma, culture, and relationships shape patterns. In therapy, we slow down to explore what’s beneath the surface, helping you build clarity, strengthen connections, and move toward more secure and authentic ways of processing & healing.
This work is personal to me. I want to normalize seeking support for mental health and reducing the stigma around it. You don’t have to be in a crisis to begin therapy, everyday minor stressors are enough. Support can simply mean understanding yourself more deeply, gaining clarity, processing and addressing challenges before they grow into something heavier.
As a Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying) and MA in Counselling Psychology student under clinical supervision, I offer space to honour your needs with acceptance, warmth & gentle challenge. If you’re ready to start prioritizing yourself, I invite you to book a free 30-minute consultation to help you get a feel for what our work together could look like.

Many of my clients come to me struggling with anxiety, identity concerns, cultural or family expectations, perfectionism, or conflict in relationships. Together, we work on understanding and managing conflict with awareness instead of avoidance, finding language for your emotions, and learning how to stay connected to yourself even in tense moments.

Using a psychodynamic and relational approach, we explore how early life experiences & patterns shape your thoughts, emotions, and relationships. I integrate parts work, ACT, Gottman and somatic awareness to support you. I'm passionate about this work because I've seen how deeply people carry what goes unseen, and I strive to offer a space that feels safe, culturally responsive, and understanding.
