I personally know how it feels to be overwhelmed by the demands of school, work, everyday responsibilities and personal relationships. When challenged by the symptoms of AD(H)D, anxiety or depression everyone can become burdened by life's distractions, unable to prioritize and find the time to nurture relationships, pursue personal interests, meet desired goals and find peace and happiness in our day. To facilitate the changes you would like to see, I will create a safe place to process relationship issues, symptoms related to AD(H)D, trauma, depression, anxiety that have impacted your quality of life.

I work with people who are struggling with trauma, anxiety, or cumulative stress, and want to develop a sense of well-being and emotional stability. Going beyond traditional talk therapy, I use somatic psychotherapy and transpersonal therapy in healing trauma, including developmental trauma.
Somatic therapy is a gentle, experiential approach that integrates awareness of body sensations and movement impulses. This allows the body, mind and emotions to heal from trauma, so you can feel more connected and engaged in your life.

You may be the person everyone turns to, yet privately you’re struggling to hold everything together. Life can sometimes feel overwhelming, especially when you’re carrying grief, relationship struggles, anxiety, trauma, loneliness, or simply trying to make sense of what comes next. You may be functioning on the outside while feeling exhausted, disconnected, stuck, or uncertain on the inside. Therapy can offer a space to slow down, feel understood, and begin making meaningful changes. Asking for and needing help are not signs of weakness; it's human because we all need help sometimes.

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.

I also work with racialized and queer communities navigating acculturation, racism, or discrimination.
My clinical work draws from culturally adapted CBT, ACT, DBT, Emotion-Focused Therapy, IFS/parts work, mindfulness, trauma-focused approaches, and Buddhist philosophies. I believe therapy doesn't have to be relentlessly serious. Humour, curiosity, honesty, and warmth can coexist with meaningful clinical work.

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. Maybe anxiety keeps you up at night, relationships feel more confusing than they should, or you're just exhausted by the weight of figuring everything out on your own. You don’t have to navigate this alone, let’s talk.

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.
