Are you looking for a warm and caring therapist? I support teens, adults, couples and families with neurodivergence (ADHD and Autism), grief, trauma, anxiety, depression, relationship stress, substance-use concerns, and navigating school and work. I also support people with issues related to migration, racialization, caste, religion and culture, genders and sexualities. The heart of our work together is our 'click,' so please feel free to call or email me for a no-commitment short consult.

I draw on psychodynamic and emotion-focused approaches, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Dialectical Behavioural Therapy, narrative therapy, and trauma-informed mindfulness and somatic practices. Whether you're seeking short-term solutions or longer-term interpersonal exploration, we work together to find the best approach for you.

Therapy can be joyful, even as we navigate deep emotional experiences together. If you're curious about whether we'd be a good fit, I invite you to reach out for a no-cost consultation by phone or video chat. I'm here to support you on your journey toward healing and growth.
