At some point, you may have experienced stress, felt anxious, overwhelmed, sad, or depressed. No one is immune to these common, human conditions. Sometimes, we can work such emotions out on our own by changing our lifestyles, reading books, taking classes, or through talking with friends and family members. Other times, we notice patterns that we haven’t been able to change on our own, or issues start to overwhelm us and negatively affect our lives, relationships, and work.

I hope to create a warm and supportive environment where my clients are encouraged to seek positive change and growth. I’m passionate about de-stigmatizing mental health in minority populations and working with youth minorities/POC. I try to learn from my client’s experiences to develop a better understanding of who they are, and how they developed their worldview. My background combined with life experiences equips me to work with an integrated approach using a person-centered, strength-based focus to help clients overcome emotional distress and behavioural issues.

I aim to work collaboratively and understand my clients by using techniques from CBT, emotion-focused, psychodynamic, and mindfulness based therapies. Life has its ebbs and flows, I am here to support and guide you during times of change, along with times of stability. I’m eager to learn more about you and help you achieve balance and empowerment in your life.

My modalities include: Psychoanalytic, Psychodynamic, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Trauma Focused Therapy, Emotion Focused Therapy (EFT), Exposure Therapy, Mindfulness-Based Interventions, Motivational Interviewing, Solution Focused Therapy, and Dialectical Behavioural Therapy (DBT).
