Relationships are hard. When things aren't going well, there's nothing more difficult than trying to deal with another person, especially someone you love. It can leave you feeling overwhelmed, confused, heartbroken and alone. It can get you questioning everything you ever thought was real about your relationship and wonder how you'll ever get things right side up again. Don't give up. I know it's not easy, but it can get better.

You put others first, are kind, hard working, and attuned to the world around you. But what people don’t see is the struggle within. Familiar feelings of guilt, self-doubt, indecision, and inadequacy hover just below the surface. The longer you stay the course, the more invisible you become in your own life. You’ve bottled up your feelings and needs for too long - it's time for change. You don’t have to remain a prisoner to your past, the perceived expectations of others, or to "towing the line" of social norms. I’m here to help you find your voice, sense of self, and to create fulfillment in your life & relationships.

"There is something wrong with me" is usually where people begin to seek therapy. I take that phrase and propose an alternate perspective. People are not problems to be fixed but beings to be known. Pain, grief, frustration, anger, sadness, anxiety, depression and many other issues that are brought to the therapy room are better addressed when better understood. I choose to take on an integrative and holistic approach to therapy which gives each person the freedom to explore the many different facets of who they are that contribute to the concerns they present.

There are times when life gets hard, messy or shaken up, leaving us feeling overwhelmed, or lost reckoning with somethings we didn’t expect to. There are also times when we simply get that nagging feeling that there’s something we want to address, and maybe start to feel curious about what healing can be for us. In this space I welcome working with different experiences, however big or small, present or past. Sometimes this may look like anxiety, depression, stress, burnout, impact of trauma, navigating relationships, sense of self (self-worth, self-love, inadequacy, etc.), student life, life transitions and loss.

Are you struggling with the challenges of balancing your cultural identities and values? Do you feel disconnected in your relationships, or overwhelmed by life transitions? Many of my clients face difficulties such as navigating cultural expectations, managing relational difficulties, or feeling conflicted and confused. Many also struggle to navigate the intricacies of being a minority in the West and the pressure of adjusting to new environments can further heighten these challenges. Being human means facing challenges and I understand asking for help can be one of them. I would be honoured to walk alongside you on your journey.
