I assist individuals navigating the challenges of parenthood while coming to terms with the limitations of their own childhood experiences. I support those striving to avoid burnout but feeling uncertain about where to establish boundaries in their home, workplace, or relationships with family and friends. Additionally, I guide those who find themselves questioning their identities during life transitions and frequently comparing themselves to others.
I use my lived experience and professional knowledge when I work with my clients. I am a first generation Canadian, a wife and a mother. Everyone's support journey is unique; so too is my approach. I work from a client-centered lens where I specialize in getting to know you; your past experiences. current mindset and your future goals
Uncovering past traumas and understanding how they continue to influence our day to day can be a delicate experience. Working with me you will get a mix of empathy and support when navigating the past and also a helpful push when we need to apply growth to the present and future.

A session with me would include a humanistic, judgement free space. I offer a culturally sensitive space because I am mixed race and first generation Canadian. I understand how culture and race can play a role in creating meaning of the world around us. The use of multiple treatment approaches I think is required in therapy because one modality does not fit all.
