Do you struggle with managing a conflictual, separated, or blended household with both you and the kids? Perhaps you’re trying to find clarity while navigating an affair?

Now more than ever, families face internal and external pressures or relational trauma that make them question, “how is this all worth it?”. We believe that living a better life shouldn’t have to feel so hard.

I am not what has happened to me; I am what I choose to become" -Carl Jung. If you are stuck in the “I wish things had been different” mode,” and feel like there is little hope for change in your life; therapy provides an avenue to be heard, to grieve, to discover acceptance, and create a new future right now, as we work together to formulate small but consistent steps in the present. I believe that each person is unique and brings individualized strengths and skills to forge new paths in their lives and in their relationships. Together, we can reach your goals.

Sometimes all we want is to be heard, to have someone fully present for us. We experience this from family and friends but there is always an underlying judgement or opinion that direct us where we may not want to go. A lot of times talking to a stranger sounds like an intrusive or uncomfortable situation to be in, but I can assure you once you get past the first fearful step, you will learn that it's a form of self care that will stay with you for a lifetime.

I offer holistic, somatic, and culturally aware support for women facing Childhood & Family Trauma, Self-Worth & Identity, and Pre-natal/Postpartum challenges.
“What will they think? What will they say?"
If you grew up with immigrant parents, those words may still shape how you move through the world. I support daughters of immigrants who are tired of overthinking, constantly feeling “on,” and struggles with rest. A difficult childhood/family experiences forced you to grow up quickly and you had to develop the roles of being strong & independent. I understand this pain deeply because I’ve lived it & moved beyond survival so I bring both lived experiences & clinical training into the healing journey. Perhaps you’re there too, functioning in survival while longing for rest, joy, and freedom!

Does anxiety or depression make it hard to enjoy life? Do you find yourself constantly worrying or feeling down? Living with anxiety and depression can feel exhausting, like there’s a weight you can’t shake that keeps you from feeling calm and present. Or maybe you’ve been through a difficult experience that still affects you, even if it happened years ago. Trauma can leave you feeling on edge, unable to trust, or haunted by memories that just won’t go away, making everyday life feel like a struggle. You may feel trapped by constant worry, haunted by difficult experiences, or left alone in grief after a significant loss.

When Life Looks Fine on the Outside but Feels Heavy on the Inside. From the outside, things may look fine. You're working toward your degree, building your career, or adjusting to a new chapter in life. But internally, you may feel anxious, overwhelmed, burnt out, or unsure of your next steps.
Perhaps you're constantly overthinking, struggling with self-doubt, or feeling pressure to have everything figured out. You don't have to navigate these challenges alone.
Therapy can provide a space to slow down, understand yourself more deeply, and move forward with greater clarity and confidence.

When we avoid what we need to face, we suffer the symptoms that bring us to therapy. We are wired to bear the pain of real life, but our psychological suffering can be unboreable. Sigmund Freud called psychotherapy “a cure through love” and I truly believe in this. The wounds that accrued in a relationship must be healed in a relationship. A relationship where the therapist doesn’t talk “at us” but “with us.” I believe all individuals can develop into mature, fully realized adults. However, inner or outer obstacles can make this path difficult. My role has always been to support my clients to remove these obstacles.

Feels overwhelmed by anxiety, stress, burnout, or a life transition? Maybe you’re managing leadership pressures, identity concerns, cultural stress, or challenges in relationships. Some clients want culturally responsive support, including BIPOC counselling, where they feel truly heard and respected. You may be ready to explore what’s keeping you stuck and how you’d like life to feel different — at your pace and in a safe space. I joined Peaks Psychotherapy as part of my student placement and support establishing safe spaces while working under the clinical supervision of Michele Brooks-Reynolds, RSW, and Cierra Garrow, RP.
