We all experience difficulties in our lives, and we all need help sometimes. Therapy is the chance to bring about the changes we want to see and grow into better versions of ourselves. My role is to create a safe environment and empower the client to facilitate those changes. I work collaboratively with my clients to establish how they envision a better life and, together, we find ways to understand and face life’s challenges in a new way. I prefer to refrain from overthinking the past and instead reframe its perception and move forward by focusing on solutions. My preferred therapeutic approaches include cognitive behavioural therapy, solution-focused therapy, and motivational interviewing. I completed my bachelor’s degree in Psychology and am currently in my last year of Master of Counselling with Specialization in Counselling Psychology program. Different aspects of identities play an important role in how we experience life, and I have worked with youth and adults from various cultural backgrounds.

I offer a warm and personalized therapeutic space where clients can explore their stories, build resilience, and work toward meaningful growth. I am passionate about supporting clients through life transitions, identity development, and personal challenges, helping them uncover strengths and create positive change. I am also committed to offering affordable therapy and access to mental health care to individuals from all walks of life.

My therapeutic style is integrative, drawing from psychodynamic, narrative, solution-focused, and client-centred approaches to meet each person’s unique needs. My role is to create a safe and supportive space where you feel heard, respected, and understood.

Starting therapy can feel like a big step, whether you are coming in for the first time or returning after past experiences. Reaching out takes courage, and I want you to know that you don’t have to go through life’s challenges alone. I invite you to reach out - together, we can explore your story, uncover your strengths, and find new ways of moving forward.

Mental wellness is a spectrum and that individuals have the skills and strength within them to grow and be the best version of themselves. Helping clients process and overcome difficult emotions and thoughts brings me joy. My approach uses a foundational client centered view, CBT, mindfulness, solution-focused and a narrative approach.

Looking for support while working through symptoms of Stress, Anxiety or Depression? Therapy can help cultivate yourself with tools that support self-regulation skills, coping mechanisms and resilience. I provide a safe space that is non-judgmental, attentive, and empathetic from a trauma-informed framework where we can collaborate and explore your thoughts and feelings.
