Many people come to therapy feeling anxious, depressed, overwhelmed, stuck, or unsure how to move forward. You might be navigating relationship issues, life transitions, parenting, co-parenting, divorce, sleep issues, work stress, or patterns that no longer serve you.

You will gain greater insight, resiliency and self-confidence!
ADHD, BPD, Emotions, Relationships/Couples, Anxiety/Stress- You're having a hard time concentrating and getting things done. You struggle to find motivation to complete your daily tasks and then feel down about yourself. You struggle with shifting moods and don't know how to cope. When anxiety and overwhelm take over, it can be hard to function because your concentration and motivation start to slip. And, if you struggle with low mood and negative self-talk, it can be hard to get out of that "funk" and shift to a more productive mindset.

I enjoy supporting children and their families who are navigating difficulties with parent/child conflict, children identified with ASD, emotion regulation, anxiety and attention difficulties, as well as self-esteem.
I take a collaborative approach that draws on a variety of therapeutic practices to meet the needs of those I work alongside. I like to use elements of humour and light-heartedness to help clients feel more comfortable exploring their challenges while also recognizing and building on their strengths to move forward with confidence and success.

I work with clients who experience emotional difficulties during their immigration period, as well as people who struggle in family, romantic or friendship relationships, and want to explore issues such as self-confidence and self-compassion, boundaries.
Moving to Canada in my early twenties was a defining experience. Like many immigrants, I arrived with hope and determination, but also with uncertainty and the challenges of starting over in a new culture. This journey deeply shaped who I am and how I practice psychotherapy.
Because I’ve lived these experiences myself, I understand the unique pressures of immigration—the search for belonging, the responsibility toward family, and the emotional weight of navigating two worlds. It’s an honour for me to support other immigrants as they adjust, heal, and reconnect with their sense of identity and safety.

Maybe it started with one or two disturbing intrusive thoughts, images, or a nagging feeling that something wasn’t right. To find relief, you did certain behaviours or mental rituals that seemed to help at first. But now it feels like you’re stuck in a loop - the thoughts keep coming back, the compulsions follow, and it’s exhausting. If this sounds familiar, you’re not alone. OCD affects 1–2% of the population, and many people quietly struggle with intrusive thoughts and compulsions every day.
