I’m a Registered Social Worker in Ontario. I’m most passionate about empowering folks who were marginalized. I have over 15 years of experience in the mental health field. My career has been devoted to helping individuals, couples, families, and groups with their mental health needs. I provide counselling services to those who are struggling with life’s challenges. I specialize in cognitive-behavioural therapy and mindfulness-based stress reduction approaches to promote emotional well-being.
I strive to provide a safe space for clients to explore their innermost thoughts and feelings so they can gain insight into their behaviour patterns and make positive changes in their lives.
Life is an ever-ongoing process of development, including understanding who we are. But we often feel a sense of shame when we experience life shifts, particularly in our communities where change is often perceived as a threat.
I want to help folks see that change is a sign of growth and progress. My goal is to help my clients find balance, peace, and joy through self-compassion and understanding.

“I am not what has happened to me; I am what I choose to become.”
–Carl Jung.
If you are stuck in the “I wish things had been different” mode,” and feel like there is little hope for change in your life, therapy provides an avenue to be heard, to grieve, to discover acceptance, and to create a new path forward, as you and I work together to formulate small, but consistent steps toward your goal. I believe that each person is unique and brings individual strengths and skills to forge new paths in their lives and in their relationships. I work with both individuals and couples.
My particular strengths are working with the mind-body connection in areas such as mindfulness to address the overtaxed central nervous system, experiential therapy to process the authenticity and intuition of emotions, and cognitive behavioural therapy to restructure thoughts that contribute to dysfunctional relationship with self and others. I have also trained in Solution Focused Therapy, Family Systems, Emotionally Focused Therapy, and bring a working knowledge of integrating Spirituality into your mental health care plan, if so desired.
My own journey in mental health has embodied the mind, body and spirit, to heal and thrive. I provide a safe, and compassionate space so that you can feel heard and supported to move toward the change you seek. If you want to discover whether I can be the right therapist for you, I offer a free 15 minute telephone consultation. I look forward to hearing from you.

If overwhelmed, stressed out, and anxious seem to be your common state of being, or if you are struggling with feelings of guilt, shame, and hopelessness, or if despite all your best efforts you can’t seem to get from where you are to where you want to be, leaving you feeling stuck; then therapy can provide you with a safe space to be seen, heard, and understood. We can uncover the root of why you are stuck and struggling and discover the innate wellness and wisdom that resides within you, which can help create a new way of being in the present, so that your future can look like what you desire.
In individual therapy, together by working with your mind and body, we can address thought, feeling, and behaviour patterns that are keeping you stuck. In couple and family therapy, we can work to reduce conflict cycles, harmful communication patters, and discover ways to be with each other’s differences, in order to support change and enhance connection.
My own personal journey alongside my years of experience working with individuals, couples, and families allows me to provide a safe, non-judgemental, and compassionate space for you to explore, uncover, and discover your self, which can allow you to move from where you are to where you want to be. I offer free 15-minute phone consultations.

With more than a decade of experience, I’ve made it my mission to train and acquire the best possible tools. I do the utmost to serve my clients with expertise, and propose strategies that are adapted to their individual needs, so that they can rediscover a sense of purpose, direction and satisfaction. My strategy is to explore a person’s lived experience, so that together we can gather a better understanding of why we do what we do, and feel the way we feel. This knowledge creates opportunities to embrace who we are authentically, while letting go of what no longer serves.
I believe emotions to be a full-bodied experience. There is a powerful healing that occurs when we allow ourselves to not only feel what we need to feel, but also to shift our relationship with our internal experiences. Contact me, and start your journey of empowerment. Innovative Therapy Solutions: Life… Empowered.

I’m so glad you’re here and considering therapy as part of your journey toward healing and growth. Starting therapy can feel like a big step, and I’m here to support you every step of the way. I know it can feel overwhelming to reach out for help, especially when you’re not sure what to expect or where to start. It’s normal to feel uncertain, and it’s okay to take your time finding the right support. My goal is to create a space where you can feel comfortable, seen, and truly heard, without fear of judgment.
My journey into psychotherapy is shaped by my lived experiences and a deep passion for helping others navigate their healing. As a first-generation immigrant with multiple intersecting identities, I understand the complexities of moving in spaces that weren’t designed for you. I’ve experienced the challenges of feeling unseen or misunderstood, and how isolating that can be. This personal understanding guides how I approach therapy, with openness, cultural awareness, and a commitment to truly hearing you.
I believe in the power of growth and transformation, and I know that healing happens when we feel truly seen, respected, and supported. That’s why I’m committed to providing a space where you can explore your feelings and experiences without fear of judgment. I’m dedicated to creating an environment that is inclusive, culturally safe, and particularly supportive for Black, Racialized, and Queer communities. Together, we can work at your pace, honouring where you are in your journey.
My approach to therapy is client-centred, anti-oppressive, culturally informed, and trauma-informed, all grounded in social justice principles. I believe that every person’s journey is unique, and I draw from a range of therapeutic modalities to tailor my approach to your individual needs. This includes techniques like Internal Family Systems (IFS), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Solution-Focused Therapy, and Cognitive-Behavioural Therapy (CBT), among others.
Your journey is uniquely yours, and I’m here to offer the support and space you need to explore it. Together, we’ll work at your pace, honouring where you are and where you want to go. I look forward to being a part of your healing process.
Ready to take the next step? I offer a free 15-minute consultation so we can connect and see if we’re a good fit.

I provide therapy to individuals and families that are experiencing emotions which often feel like they’re taking control of their lives in finding their voice and regaining confidence. Feelings of depression and anxiety can quickly become overwhelming, along with the daily hustle and commotion that accompanies our lives. Worries, frustration, and motivation can become challenging to manage for individuals living with depression, anxiety, and high life stress.
