My goal is to help you find balance, rediscover your strengths, and feel more in control of your life while drawing from my experience working with clients of all ages coping with grief, stress, and anxiety.
Life can feel overwhelming sometimes, especially when you're struggling with things like anxiety, burnout, ADHD, low mood, time management, or chronic illness. Whether you're a teen navigating school pressures, a young adult trying to find your place, or someone transitioning through major life changes, you don’t have to do it alone. In therapy, I aim to be your partner in navigating these twists and turns. I specialize in working with teens, young adults, post-secondary students, and adults who are facing life’s challenges head-on.

I specialize in working with teens, young adults, post-secondary students, and adults who are facing life’s challenges head-on.
I focus on evidence-based psychological modalities that integrate human nature’s psychodynamic and behavioural aspects, including Time-limited Dynamic psychotherapy (TLDP), Grief therapy, Acceptance Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Religious/Spirituality/culture based counselling.
"Why do you stay in prison when the door is wide open?" - Rumi. Psychological suffering can be, at times, unbearable. If you or your loved one go through existential crisis or mental health challenges, I offer wisdom born of life's pain and experience from witnessing courage, transformation and adaptability in human suffering. I draw upon years of experience providing psycho-spiritual support in in-patient mental health and mental health clinics and providing spiritual/emotional support to the sick and dying in acute care. I use an integrative approach (Spiritual/Biological) when working with psychological suffering.

I understand that life can be challenging, especially when you have a new baby or are struggling after a pregnancy loss.
I work with adults of all genders during the perinatal period (pregnancy, birth, and postpartum). Whether you’re feeling overwhelmed by new responsibilities, experiencing shifts in your relationships, or struggling to find your identity amidst these changes, I am here to support you. As a former midwife and lactation consultant, I bring an in-depth understanding of the unique needs and challenges that individuals face during their pregnancy and postpartum journeys. As a mother myself, I understand the demands of motherhood and the untethering that can happen as we adjust to new identities, new roles, and new relationships.

Life is full of challenges, and by overcoming these challenges we can learn, grow, and discover things about ourselves, others, and the world around us. Sometimes though, these challenges become too much to handle. Perhaps we’ve experienced a loss, a major change, or a trauma, something that has taken away the sense of control over our lives and we find ourselves stuck and overwhelmed, no longer able to learn from life’s challenges, but feeling helpless to overcome them. For many of us, this sense of overwhelm leads to symptoms of depression and anxiety.
