Are you feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or unsure how to move forward? Life can bring challenges that feel isolating — but you don’t have to face them alone. As a counsellor, I work with individuals, couples, and youth navigating stress, relational difficulties, low motivation, and other personal struggles. My approach is grounded in Humanistic theory and tailored to each client. I also incorporate EFT and DBT, particularly when working with youth and adolescents. These approaches support young people in understanding and managing their emotions, building coping strategies, and improving communication in their relationships.

Your days look successful to others, yet anxiety races beneath the surface. You lie awake replaying conversations, feel your chest tighten in meetings, and wonder why simple tasks drain all your energy. You may catch yourself scrolling, overeating, or snapping at people you love, then feel guilty. Deep down you want calm, confidence, and relationships that don’t exhaust you. You’re ready to understand where these stress loops come from and finally learn skills to break them so you can show up at work, at home, and for yourself with steady ease.

You spend your days caring for others, but lately it feels like there’s nothing left for you. You wake up already tired, push through long shifts, and come home too drained to enjoy life outside of work. If you’re feeling burned out, anxious, or unsure how to slow down, you’re not alone. I work with Filipino healthcare workers and other frontline professionals navigating compassion fatigue, chronic stress, and the pressure to keep giving even when your cup feels empty. Together, we can begin creating space for you to rest, heal, and feel like yourself again.

Muslim therapist helping high-achieving millennials manage anxiety, perfectionism, and burnout in a space that honours faith, identity, and emotional well-being. You’re constantly striving to meet expectations, achieve more, and stay “on track.” But beneath the surface, there’s a persistent sense of anxiety, self-doubt, and exhaustion. You might feel stuck in a cycle of overthinking, perfectionism, and fear of not being “enough” in your work, relationships, or even in your faith. I understand how anxiety and perfectionism can be compounded by cultural and spiritual expectations.

Hi there, I’m a psychotherapist and social worker with over 15 years of experience in the mental health field. I hold a Master of Social Work and have spent my career supporting people through anxiety, trauma, childhood trauma, anger, substance use, and life transitions. My Indo-Caribbean background gives me a deep understanding and unique perspective of what it means to navigate different cultural expectations, identities, and family systems. It shaped not only who I am, but also how I show up in the therapy room—with cultural sensitivity, curiosity, and respect.

Female Counsellors

Does it matter what gender my therapist is?

In general, there is no relationship between a therapist’s gender and their efficacy. Some clients, however, prefer to see therapists of a particular gender, whether due to their own past experiences with men and women, or because they feel more comfortable with a therapist of their own gender due to shared life experiences or perspectives. Considering what one wants to address in therapy can help someone determine whether their therapist’s gender may matter or improve their therapeutic experience. The most important consideration is that a client is able to build a trusting relationship with their therapist.

Should I see a female therapist?

Many people—not just women—prefer to see a female therapist. For women, this could be because they believe that they will be able to better connect with a woman, and that a female therapist will be able to relate to their specific challenges and personal issues. It may be particularly beneficial for women to see a female therapist, for example, for gender-specific issues, such as sexism in the workplace, relationship issues, and gender roles. The most important factor in therapy is the client-therapist connection, and a therapist's gender as well as many other factors may play an important role in this.

Do therapists get specific training to help with women’s concerns?

Therapists are trained to provide care to clients of any gender. However, some therapists may pursue additional training in feminist therapy, gender-specific issues, or women’s mental health. Female clients may wish to ask prospective therapists whether they have received specific training in the client’s primary area(s) of concern, or whether they have worked extensively with women on issues similar to their own.

How can I inquire about a therapist’s experience in treating women?

It’s OK—even encouraged!—to ask a therapist directly whether and how often they have treated women in the past, or whether they have treated women dealing with the client’s most prominent concern(s). Competent therapists will be happy to share their educational background, preferred treatment modalities, and prior client experience to help an individual find the therapist best suited to their needs.
