As a child of immigrants, I know how hard it can be to prioritize mental health, especially in cultures where it's stigmatized. Thus, I believe seeking therapy is a courageous act of self-care, particularly amid the isolation of mental health challenges. I take an intersectional approach, understanding how culture, race, gender, and unseen identities shape well-being. I aim to create a safe space to explore your emotions without having to justify them. I don't believe one part of our identity defines us—instead, I help you uncover strengths, foster growth, and create meaningful change that reflects your own experiences and contexts.
I provide solution-focused, culturally sensitive therapy to explore your thoughts, emotions, and behaviours in a non-judgmental space, uncovering the roots of struggles and creating practical strategies for growth and healing. I also consider the intersectional aspects of your identity to ensure the changes we work toward are relevant and meaningful for you.
I know taking the first step in therapy can feel overwhelming, but you don’t have to face it alone. If you're ready to explore how I can support your healing and growth, I invite you to reach out by phone or email. You can also book a session or free 15-min consultation on my webpage. If I'm not the best fit, I’ll gladly help you connect with someone who is.
