I am a Registered Psychotherapist with the College of Registered Psychotherapists of Ontario. I take a client-centered and compassionate approach to my work and uphold the values of dignity and respect for all. I specialize in working with individuals and couples coping with anxiety, depression, addictions, ADHD, trauma, life transitions (including immigration), and identity related issues. My practice is influenced by evidence-based modalities of Cognitive Behaviour Therapy, Dialectical Behaviour Therapy, Solution Focused Therapy, Gottman Method, and incorporates both mindfulness and meditation practices.
I understand what it is like to live in more than one culture and navigate generational differences. I aim to use my lived experience and knowledge to help clients better understand themselves, develop effective coping skills, and find greater meaning in life and relationships.
I use the Gottman Method Couples Therapy and Emotion Focused Family Therapy in my work with couples. My focus is to help couples grow in their compassion and understanding of each other and gain constructive skills to manage upsetting circumstances.

My focus in addiction counseling has centered on both behavioral addictions and substance use disorders, utilizing an approach grounded in evidence-based modalities. By integrating the 12 Steps and Stages of Change model with Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) and trauma-informed practices, I have supported clients in addressing a wide spectrum of goals- from harm reduction to complete recovery.
