As we journey through life, we are bound to encounter challenges that require careful navigation. Sometimes, how we have learned to manage these challenges can pull us away from the authentic life we want. From an empathic and nonjudgemental lens, I can work alongside you to help you reach your goals and create balance in your life.

My approach to therapy is person-centred and integrative. You are the expert of your life, and I am equipped with the tools and resources to support you through the therapeutic process. I have experience working with teens and adults with various concerns, including grief, anxiety, mood disorders, trauma, relationship issues, life transitions, family dynamics, self-esteem, coping skills, LGBTQ2S+ issues, and more. Drawing from an array of modalities such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Psychodynamic, Emotion Focused, Humanistic, and Internal Family systems (IFS).
