I have worked as a private life coach for 3 yrs prior opening my practice over 4 years ago.
Stressed?? Anxious?? Depressed?? Are you struggling to find the right therapist? Feeling lost? All first sessions are FREE with no obligations. WHY? I am passionate about creating opportunities for healing centered around your unique needs! My personal philosophy is radical acceptance. I believe that most coping strategies (from perfectionism to addictions) actually enable survival to one's best ability. Reflect on how your personal coping methods enabled you to survive until this moment! I believe in honouring old patterns with awareness. We must recognize and accept what is holding us back in order to change it.

I fully believe that we can create positive changes at any age, and you have agency over your life.
You might have noticed a pattern of feeling anxious in relationships. Maybe you’re healing from a breakup or struggling with a partner or family dynamics. Maybe you’re confident at work but have a hard time maintaining personal relationships. I work with adults who grew up feeling unseen. Many of my clients are BIPOC, immigrants, LGBTQ+, and tech or creative professionals. Common challenges I work with include insecure attachment styles, low self-worth, codependency, people-pleasing, difficulty setting boundaries, and childhood trauma. Many have tried talk therapy before, but sensed something deeper still needed healing.

In our lives, we often find ourselves stuck. We find it difficult to stop thinking, feeling, or behaving in ways that are no longer useful. Our interpretations of past experiences, beliefs about ourselves, others and the world, can sometimes hold us back from enjoying the present and imagining a better future. We want things to change but are uncertain how to change them. We need time, space, and guidance to transform ourselves and forge a new path. As a psychotherapist, I help facilitate your journey and guide you towards your personal goals by empowering you to remove emotional and psychological roadblocks.

If you are looking to create a deeper understanding of yourself, I would like to invite you into exploring psychotherapy. I work with youth and adults who are interested in becoming more of ‘their authentic self’, want to deepen their social-emotional-spiritual connection, and release any hurts, burdens, pains they have had to carry throughout their childhood and adolescence. If you are looking for ways to support your own well-being, manage stress and better understand your emotions/reactions, using Internal Family Systems (IFS) model, can create that space for you to experience more harmony, clarity and direction.

Using polyvagal-informed methods, I focus on the whole being — nervous system, body, mind, and emotions — to address trauma, improve resilience, and manage real- life challenges such as stress, productivity struggles, and stigma.
I combine somatic therapy, expressive arts, and parts work (IFS/role exploration) with evidence-based methods. Through polyvagal-informed approaches, I aim to engage the whole being — the nervous system, the body, the mind, and the emotions — whether we’re addressing trauma, building resilience, managing productivity, or navigating the impact of stigma.
