I work with couples and individuals, quickly identifying patterns and finding alternatives to repeated adverse outcomes.
Before becoming a therapist, I spent years as an actuary, a profession grounded in precision, analysis, and long-range thinking. This background uniquely shapes my approach to therapy: thoughtful, strategic, and deeply attuned to patterns beneath the surface. I bring the same depth and intellectual curiosity to understanding the human experience, helping clients uncover insights that are often missed in more conventional approaches.

As a recent immigrant, I am familiar with the process of being uprooted, losing your familiarity and trying to find stability in a new home. It can be scary, exciting, overwhelming and confusing. Being human means we have the ability to experience a wide range of emotions, often at the same time! It is possible to feel grief and joy in the same experience. Sorting through those emotions can be difficult, and therapy may be what you need to find clarity and connection with yourself through life transitions.

Sometimes the deepest pain we carry is the feeling of being disconnected—from ourselves, from others, and from the spiritual grounding that gives life meaning.
Many people come to therapy carrying wounds from relationships, past experiences, or even painful spiritual experiences that have made trust, safety, and connection difficult. When these wounds go unhealed, they can show up as anxiety, shame, relationship struggles, or a quiet sense of emptiness. At Eternal Life Counselling, I offer therapy that integrates emotional healing, attachment work, and mind–body awareness with space for spiritual reflection.

You've spent years doing what was needed, what was expected, or what felt right at the time. Yet lately, you find yourself asking: How did I get here? Why do I keep repeating the same patterns? When did I stop knowing what I want? Perhaps you're exhausted from prioritizing everyone else, questioning your relationships, or feeling disconnected from yourself and the life you've created. You're not looking for quick fixes. You want to understand what's keeping you stuck, learn how to disrupt familiar patterns, and create new experiences that feel more aligned with who you are and how you want to live.

I have extensive experience practicing clinical psychology with teens, adults and couples.
My training and experience is in the area of clinical psychology. This means tracing your story within a diagnostic framework. For many patients, emotional pain has its roots in trauma. The trauma is often from childhood, but not exclusively. I help my patients by talking about their current troubles and the developmental history that accompanies them.

What does therapy for teenagers look like?
When a therapist works with a teenager, the pair will talk about what the teen is struggling with and explore solutions, which may involve interpersonal skills, coping strategies, medication, or lifestyle changes related to sleep, diet, and exercise. Different therapists employ different modalities, but most involve a combination of conversation and skill building.
How long does therapy for teenagers generally take to work?
There’s variability in teenagers’ experiences and challenges; some may begin to improve from therapy within a few weeks while others may take several months or longer. Teens can discuss their progress with their therapist periodically to assess how they’re improving and any changes to the treatment plan that could potentially accelerate that progress.
How do you encourage a teenager to go to therapy?
It’s helpful to express your concern and love while framing therapy as an opportunity to explore a tool that could help improve their life; just like they practice baseball or dance, now they can practice their emotional skills. Give your teen control over the process where you can—maybe by weighing in on choice of therapist and signaling that therapy involves confidentiality, so a parent need not know all that is discussed in sessions.
How do you prepare teens for therapy?
You can prepare your teenager for therapy by describing what the process will look like and setting expectations for timeline, if requested. You can explain that the first session may begin with an assessment phase, that they can describe their experiences but that the therapist will ask questions too, and that it may take time to feel comfortable opening up. Ask how they’re feeling about the process and answer any questions calmly and supportively.
