I use an integrative lens and take from evidence-based interventions that I am trained in to establish an approach based on my clients needs, including Emotionally Focused Therapy ( EFT), Rogerian, Psychodynamic, EMDR and Trauma-Informed therapy.
I’ve had the honour of walking alongside teens and adults- students, professionals, newcomers, corporate executives, artists navigating the layered experience of living.

You’ve learned to hold it all together; for family, for culture, for survival. You’re insightful, but tired. Maybe it’s anxiety, burnout, people-pleasing, or the quiet weight of not feeling fully seen. You want space to exhale and to feel understood. My clients seek clarity, regulation, and belonging. Together, we’ll explore the patterns you’ve inherited, the ones you’re ready to let go of, and the parts of you waiting to feel at home. I offer culturally responsive, neurodivergent-affirming therapy with a deep understanding of identity, belonging, and the impact of cultural and family systems on emotional well-being.

It takes courage to engage in therapy. Doing so reflects an interest in self-awareness and the desire to thrive, not just survive. It is an act of self-compassion. For the past 20 years, I have worked in an inner-city hospital in Toronto, with the last 13 years focused solely on providing individual psychotherapy and group facilitation in trauma and mindfulness. I work with a wide range of issues, including depression, anxiety, PTSD/childhood trauma, emotional dysregulation, DID, self-harm, suicidality, substance use and relationship issues.

Life is a journey without a roadmap, and we are all learning to navigate it in our own unique ways. Therapy can offer a space to reflect on our experiences, create change where necessary, and feel encouraged. In my practice, I believe everyone is the expert in their own lives and my goal is to support clients in accessing their inner power and strengths as they navigate challenges. More specifically, I provide therapeutic support to individuals (ages 9-99), couples, and families in managing mood and behaviours; enhancing self-perception and self-worth; building interpersonal relationships; and navigating loss and trauma.

I take an integrative approach to therapy, specializing in CBT, EFT, SFBT, Narrative Therapy, and trauma-informed techniques.

Together we will assess what is most distressing to you, and develop a plan for how to move forward.
