NOW Accepting New Clients! My passion is helping people feel more like themselves—connected, grounded, and capable of navigating life’s twists and turns. I bring a warm, curious, and down-to-earth approach to therapy, creating a space where you can explore what’s going on without judgment. I come from a multicultural, multilingual family, so inclusivity and safety are at the heart of the work we’ll do together. Whether you’re facing a big life shift or feeling stuck in the day-to-day, I’ll walk alongside you with support, insight, and the occasional laugh.
Outside the therapy room, I love scuba diving, planning travel adventures, and hanging out with my dog. Therapy doesn’t have to feel clinical—it can be human, healing, and even a little hopeful. Let’s take the next step together.
I’m lucky to have the best care coordination team handling my schedule. For the fastest response times, contact us directly through our website or call our office (Mon to Fri 8am to 8pm). After submitting our form, expect a reply email within 5 minutes with my, and my teams, availability as of today. Thank you and we look forward to hearing from you!
