Welcome |Bienvenue
The journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step (Lao-Tzu)

About Me
I am a fellow human being who has dedicated my life to the mental field, and in supporting human beings towards reclaiming your own voice and agency. This is why I am committed to offering you a space where you can breathe and be fully you, without having to edit or censure who you are. I offer a warm, compassionate, space where you can be supported along your journey of self-growth or self-discovery.
I have over 10 + years of experience in the mental health field supporting clients aged 18 and over. My background includes extensive multicultural and international background training and experience. I trained and initially practiced as a Psychologist (Doctorate in Psychology) for more than 9 years, holding teaching, research and clinical roles. I am currently practicing as a Registered Psychotherapist in Ontario. Throughout my career, I have developed a deep appreciation and respect for the diversity of human beings and the intricate workings of the human mind and behavior.
My Approach
My practice is primarily grounded in a humanistic, relational, and culturally-responsive approach. I work from a trauma-informed and non-pathologizing lens. My therapeutic approach is informed by comprehensive training in trauma and attachment theories. I value an integrated approach to healing and bring this into my work with clients through various modalities. These include mindfulness, somatic and creative exploration of the mind-body connection, compassion- and attachment-based perspectives, and cognitive and behavioral perspectives.
I believe that support and compassion can be a catalyst for change. My goal is to assist you by fostering your own voice and sense of self-empowerment. You matter and deserve to be seen and heard.
