I deeply understand the emotional challenges that come with managing personal, familial and societal expectations, and finding your voice in unfamiliar spaces. My work is rooted in cultural sensitivity, compassion, and collaboration. I enjoy working with individuals from diverse backgrounds—particularly women and people of colour —who are experiencing anxiety, depression, low self-worth, trauma, grief, or relationship struggles. I prioritize a warm and non-judgmental space where we can explore your experiences, build resilience, and reconnect with your strengths.

Using a blend of evidence-based approaches like CBT, DBT, ACT, CPT and mindfulness, I tailor sessions to your unique needs and goals. Whether you’re looking to process pain, learn healthy coping mechanisms or rediscover peace and joy, we’ll work together at your pace.

Let’s talk—book a 15-minute consultation and take the first step toward healing. You deserve support that honours who you are.
