Navigating life’s various fluctuations and the challenges that arise can be difficult to do so on your own. As such, I strive to support those of you seeking self-attunement, and who are looking to build up skills so that you may be able to address issues contributing to your emotional and relational distress. I firmly believe in centering clients' experiences and the power of empathy, open-mindedness, and collaboration as integral to therapy. I aim to create an encouraging therapeutic space where you can explore your own unique path to personal awareness, growth, and healing as determined by you.
My therapeutic approach is relational, trauma-informed, experiential, inquisitive and integrative, drawing from various therapeutic modalities to offer a personalized experience. In addition, my multidisciplinary community engagement background and innate curiosity contributes to my creative nature.
My work with racialized, queer/ 2SLGBTQ+, youth, newcomers, and neurodivergent individuals, and my navigation of the mental health care system informs my practice and deep commitment to fostering mental and emotional well-being with an intersectional and anti-oppressive lens. I encourage you to reach out if you think there may be a fit.
