I work with individuals navigating anxiety, depression, relational trauma, and the complexities of neurodivergence. My approach focuses on exploring your inner world—understanding how family dynamics shape your patterns, improving self-esteem and self-awareness, or figuring out who you are and what you want out of life. Together, we can create a space where you can connect with your true self and start to build a life that feels more aligned with who you are.

I take a holistic and collaborative approach when providing psychotherapy to individuals, couples, and families. I believe that it can be difficult to manage and cope with life’s hardships such as anxiety, stress, depression, life transitions, and challenges within our interpersonal relationships. I enjoy working from both an attachment-informed and trauma-informed perspective to help my clients process difficult emotions. I value the uniqueness of each person and tailor therapeutic approaches to best fit individual needs.

As we move through life, we will inevitably run into turbulence that needs navigating. I believe that each individual holds the power within themselves to move forward and achieve desired change. My passion for mental health and human rights has informed my desire to practise psychotherapy. Equipped with a compassionate, culturally sensitive and intersectional approach, I consider all facets of a client's identity and views, as they are contributing factors to their lived experience.

I recognize that dealing with individual problems is not a systematic process and that it can lead to certain difficulties, but healing from a past or present malaise is a bit like writing a book: you have to write a few drafts at each stage before you're satisfied with your work. I look forward to meeting you and accompanying you on your healing journey.

Sometimes we may all need a little help or another perspective to bring what we need to our awareness. When we need guidance, we can connect to an inner compass that can feel confusing, conflicting, or just plain out of reach. I feel we can tap into our deepest selves, gracefully face life's obstacles, and show kindness and concern to both ourselves and others. My goal is to recognize people's strengths and needs in an accepting and caring manner and keep pace with you as you walk your journey.
