Using attachment-based, trauma-informed, anti-oppressive approaches, we build practical strategies for boundaries, emotional regulation, & secure, fulfilling relationships rooted in your story.
You’re doing everything you can to be the parent, partner, or person you hoped to be - but it feels like you’re running on empty. Whether you’re expecting, parenting (birth–12), or navigating life without kids, you may face burnout, anxiety, identity shifts, or the weight of cultural or intergenerational expectations. This can show up as sleep struggles, discipline questions, co‑parenting stress, relationship/boundary challenges, or feeling disconnected from yourself. You want clarity, confidence, & deeper connection - with others & yourself. You’re seeking support that understands your story, doesn't judge & helps you move forward.

With 20 years of corporate work experience, I get the struggles you’re facing. You're the one people can always count on. The one who stays late, goes the extra mile, & keeps pushing through even when you're exhausted because you hate disappointing people. On paper, you're successful. But behind the scenes, you're overwhelmed, running on empty, & wondering how much longer you can keep this up. Therapy can help you step out of survival mode, reconnect with yourself, & create healthier ways of managing stress. Imagine feeling grounded instead of overwhelmed, confident instead of self-critical, & able to set boundaries without guilt

It takes strength and courage to share your story, but when you do, great things happen. Do you ever feel as though the entire world is resting on your shoulders? Feeling burnt out and overwhelmed? As a millennial, navigating the world of dating, work, relationships I know the feeling of being overwhelmed, burnt out and not knowing what to do. As we work together, I can help you recharge and find a calmer balance in your life. Do you often feel weighed down by feelings of navigating a bicultural identity? As a first generation Canadian I understand the difficulties that can arise from creating a balance between our identities.

Supporting adults and youth carrying overwhelm, guilt, or emotional exhaustion. You don’t have to explain your cultural background to be understood.

I have specialized training in trauma, ADHD, and addictions.
You’re anxious, you're afraid. Maybe it's chronic pain, or the habits you just can't seem to kick. There seems to be only so much that doctors can do for you. Maybe you feel okay for a day or two, but then the distress and the loneliness all come flooding back in. You find yourself wondering if anyone really understands you, or even believes you. And perhaps most painful of all, you start wondering if there's any "real you" left after you've been worn down and hollowed out, by so much suffering.

My work is trauma-informed and culturally responsive, drawing from approaches that support meaningful insight, healing, and lasting change.
You've noticed something feels different lately. A part of you may be starting to question patterns like saying yes when you want to say no, putting others first, or feeling responsible for keeping the peace. You might feel anxious, overwhelmed and unsure how to make sense of it all.
I work with adults who feel pulled in different directions internally and want to better understand themselves. Together, we can explore what’s happening beneath the surface - both inward (your emotional patterns and inner world) and outward (relationships, family, and cultural context).

You may be feeling overwhelmed with feelings and thoughts you can't describe and are finding it hard to cope.

You may feel alone in your experience and fear that no one will be able to relate. It's exhausting. Or, as a parent, you may be noticing changes in your child/teen that are concerning and it is hard to see him/her struggling.

As your therapist and Certified Trauma Counsellor, I will help you discover new avenues through evidence-based modalities.
Congratulations, you have taken the first step towards healing! Recognizing that you need support on this path of healing is the first of many milestones. When situations occur in our lives, whether in the past or present, naturally as human beings we begin to feel depressed, anxious, isolated, and etc. Simple day-to-day activities, which were once like second nature, have become very difficult. Perhaps days, months or even years have gone by and you still feel “stuck” – if this sounds familiar, we can work together to learn how to cope and live with a new reality.

I specialize in supporting individuals facing debilitating self-doubt, anxiety, and depression, as well as couples recovering from infidelity, loss of connection, waning intimacy, or crumbling stability. My experiences in private practice, ongoing professional development, and supervisory roles, have shaped my identity as a therapist who places authenticity and creative problem-solving at the center of navigating life’s challenges. This insight is further deepened by my lived experience as a blind individual, as this perspective enriches my attunement to the resilience, vulnerability, and complexity clients carry.
