I am a Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying) dedicated to creating a safe, affirming, and non-judgmental space where clients feel heard, valued, and supported. I believe meaningful healing begins through authentic connection; therefore, my approach is grounded in empathy, trust, collaboration, and respect.
I currently pursue a Master of Counselling Psychology at Yorkville University and hold an Honours Bachelor of Health Sciences from University of Ottawa. In addition, my professional background in special education and community engagement has allowed me to support youth with diverse abilities while advocating for inclusion, accessibility, and systemic change.

Treatment Approach
- Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) One of the most widely used approaches, CBT helps people identify unhelpful thoughts and replace them with healthier patterns. It is effective for anxiety, depression, and many other concerns.
- Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) Focuses on strengthening emotional bonds in couples or families. It helps people identify negative cycles and create more secure connections.
- Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT) Combines mindfulness practices with CBT to prevent depression relapse. It helps people notice thoughts without judgment and respond more calmly.
- Person-Centered Therapy (Rogerian) Emphasizes empathy, unconditional positive regard, and authenticity. It provides a safe space for self-discovery and growth.
- Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT) Focuses on solutions and future goals rather than past problems. It is practical, short-term, and goal-driven.
Approach Description: I support individuals navigating:
Anxiety and chronic stress
Burnout and emotional overwhelm
BIPOC-centred mental health concerns
Cultural identity conflict and family pressure
Body image and self-compassion challenges
Emotional shutdown and difficulty expressing feelings
Personal growth, self-esteem, and life transitions
Because every individual’s experience is unique, therapy is tailored to your personal goals, values, and lived experiences.

My work is rooted in culturally competent, anti-oppressive, and inclusive care. Furthermore, I believe clients are the experts of their own experiences, while my role is to walk alongside them with compassion, curiosity, and humility.
I use an integrative therapeutic framework that includes:
Person-Centered Therapy
Emotion-Focused Therapy (EFT)
Solution-Focused Therapy
Mindfulness-Based Approaches
Together, these methods help clients strengthen self-awareness, improve emotional balance, build self-compassion, and develop healthier ways of responding to difficult thoughts and emotions. As a result, therapy becomes a collaborative process focused on empowerment, resilience, and meaningful change.
