In our work together we will explore and understand how your lived experiences especially childhood experiences and past relationships have shaped the way you see yourself, show up in your relationships and move through the world. We are not who we are by chance, but rather by the sum of our experiences and how those experiences have shaped us, however our experiences do not have to define us.

Treatment Approach
- Acceptance & Commitment Therapy (ACT) Helps people accept difficult thoughts and feelings instead of fighting them, while committing to actions that reflect their values. It blends mindfulness with practical behavior strategies.
- 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.
- Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) Combines CBT with mindfulness to help regulate emotions, tolerate stress, and build stronger relationships. Originally designed for borderline personality disorder, it’s now used more broadly.
- 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.
- Psychodynamic Therapy Explores unconscious thoughts and patterns that influence current behavior. It builds insight into how the past impacts the present.
- Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT) Focuses on solutions and future goals rather than past problems. It is practical, short-term, and goal-driven.

My approach is collaborative and tailored to you. Rather than using a one-size-fits all model, I draw from a range of evidence-based therapies to thoughtfully shape our work around your unique needs, experiences, and goals. I believe the most impactful change happens when therapy is personalized, intentional and grounded in what matters most to you.
I am a Registered Social Worker and Psychotherapist with several years of experience supporting individuals and couples navigate through various life challenges and transitions. I hold a Master’s Degree in Social Work from the University of Toronto, specializing in mental health and health. I work from person-centred, trauma-informed lens and incorporate a variety of approaches such as culturally responsive Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Emotion-Focused Therapy, Psychodynamic Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Dialectical Behaviour Therapy and Internal Family Systems.
