Let's talk. I also think that Psychology Today profiles are weird to read.
But since you're here - you're likely here because something in your life, or the life of someone you love, might be asking for change. More clarity, more purpose, or a different way of being. Together, we can make space to explore that honestly.
I work collaboratively to help you understand your patterns, experiences, and what truly matters to you—so you can move toward a more meaningful and fulfilling life.
I have a particular interest in supporting youth and adults in the arts who are working to bring their creative lives into focus.

Life changes, past experiences and trauma can affect us in ways we don’t always expect. Maybe you’ve spent years pushing things aside, staying busy or telling yourself you should be able to handle it. But lately, anxiety, stress or difficult emotions are becoming harder to ignore. You may feel overwhelmed, emotionally drained, stuck in old patterns or like life is getting away from you. Therapy can help you understand what’s underneath these feelings, process painful experiences and navigate life transitions. You’re ready to stop just getting through the day and start feeling more grounded, confident and in control.

I believe therapy is a space to better understand yourself and the experiences that have shaped you. The ways we think, feel, and respond to the world are not random; they form in response to our circumstances and often reflect our best efforts to cope. Together, we can explore these patterns with curiosity and compassion, making sense of them and whether they still serve you. My approach is never one-size-fits-all—every person brings in their unique history, challenges, and strengths, and so I tailor therapy directly to you. I bring honesty, warmth, and authenticity, creating a space where you can speak openly and feel truly heard.

Are you in a relationship you desperately want to make work, but lately it feels like you’re talking at each other instead of with each other? One of you keeps trying to fix things, pushing for conversations that end in tears, blowups, or shame. The other shuts down, avoids the talks, and just wants things to go back to how they were. Evenings are quiet and disconnected — scrolling, Netflix, video games, separate corners of the couch — because trying to connect feels awkward, tense, or pointless. No one’s needs are being met, but no one is leaving either.

As a biracial, multiethnic woman, I understand how deeply culture and individual lived experiences uniquely shape our relationship with self, others, and the world.
Have you been feeling anxious, overwhelmed, lost, or uncertain about how to move forward or where to begin? Navigating challenges internally, within relationships, family, and friendship dynamics, anxiety, burnout, unexpected changes, and difficult life transitions can leave us feeling uncertain, overwhelmed, and often quite alone. Together, we can make sense of your thoughts and feelings, identify strengths, barriers, and a plan that reflects what's most important to you and what honours your values and goals for therapy. We all deserve to feel seen, understood, and supported as we grow—and we don't need to do it alone.

You are human, which means you are complicated, full of contradictions, and probably carrying more than you let on. Maybe you feel stuck, in your thoughts, your relationships, your career, or just life in general. You might be a young adult navigating independence, a university student drowning in expectations, or a professional battling self-doubt and burnout.

FAQ - About Multiracial Counselling
Why might mixed race or multiracial identity be important to address in therapy?
Mixed race or multiracial identity can shape how you understand yourself and relate to others around you, so it is natural that this identity may be important to speak about in therapy. If you identify as mixed race, you may find it helpful to speak with a therapist about identity, belonging, racism, cultural disconnection, or feeling pressure to “choose” one part of your background over another. A therapist who understands or shares your mixed race identity may be better able to support conversations about your experiences. A shared background may also strengthen the therapeutic alliance, which refers to the working relationship between you and your therapist and is tied to positive therapy outcomes.
How can a mixed race therapist support couples counselling or family therapy?
Like other therapists, mixed race therapists can support couples and families with a broad range of concerns, including communication challenges, conflict, parenting, life transitions, and relationship stress. However, therapists who personally identify as mixed race may be especially helpful when race, culture, or ethnicity are part of the concerns being discussed, such as when partners come from different cultural backgrounds and are navigating differing personal or community expectations. A mixed race therapist may also help couples and families explore how identity shapes each person’s experience in the relationship. Family members, for instance, may not experience race or culture in the same way, even within the same household. Therapy can offer a space to talk through these differences.
How might I inquire about a therapist's experience working with mixed race or multiracial clients?
The initial consultation, which is typically a brief phone or video call, can be a good time to ask about a therapist’s experience working with multiracial clients. You can ask specific questions, such as “Do you have experience working with multiracial clients?” or broader questions, such as “How do you approach cultural identity in your practice?” As sessions begin, it can be helpful to notice how the therapist responds to your concerns. A good therapist should respond with respect, curiosity, and cultural humility. If you feel dismissed or misunderstood, or if you find yourself having to explain your beliefs or cultural context constantly, it may be worth considering another therapist.
Who is included in Psychology Today's directory of mixed race therapists?
The directory of mixed race therapists includes therapists who have shared their mixed race or multiracial identity in their profiles, as well as therapists who indicate that they have extensive experience working with mixed race clients, regardless of their own background. Not all therapists choose to disclose this information on their profile, and these individuals may not appear in search results for this reason.
