You are the expert of your own experience- and my role is to walk alongside you with care, curiosity, and compassion. I offer a supportive space where you can feel seen, heard, and safe to explore whatever brings you to therapy. Together, we'll uncover what matters most to you and work towards a meaningful, lasting change.
My area of interest include supporting individuals who are experiencing depression, anxiety, eating disorders, transitional life stages, and issues related to self-confidence and self-worth. Many of my clients also face cultural or identify-based challenges, and I honour the unique experiences and strengths that come from diverse backgrounds.
Whether you're feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or disconnected, we'll work collaboratively to help you move forward in a way that feels authentic to who you are.

I use various evidence-based modalities such as SFT, CBT, EFT, ACT, and Narrative Therapy, along with other mindfulness approaches. I practice from a trauma-informed, culturally responsive, and socially just lens, ensuring that therapy feels inclusive, respectful, and tailored to my client's experiences and worldviews.
