Often seeking therapy can be a daunting process as you begin to uncover parts of you that are vulnerable. In my practice, I ensure that I provide a place to explore your suffering or what you want to change in your life without shame, judgment or criticism. 

If you are a teenager, adult or a couple, I can support  building healthy relationships and friendships, marital stress, disconnection and conflict, struggles with anger, over thinking and anxiety, depression, codependency, grief and any of your life transitions

With specialized experience in Oncology and chronic illness support, I deeply understand the emotional, physical and impact on relationships that dealing with cancer brings. Whether you are a patient, survivor, family member or caregiver. This unique insight allows me to offer compassionate, skills based care that meets you exactly where you are.

 I understand deeply that there are times in life when our thoughts and functioning become misaligned from how we want to be. 

My training as a Registered Psychotherapist and my experience in evidence-based practices such as Mindfulness, Emotions-Focused Therapy, Internal Family Systems, Somatic and Experiential therapies have developed my integrative approach to holistic psychotherapy. I know the body, mind, and spirit are interconnected, so I work from the philosophy that every person is unique in their needs and how they can shift away from unhelpful patterns. Each person has wisdom within them, and I honor this wisdom. 

As for me, I grew up in a marginalized culture and faced many challenges of discrimination and inequality. These struggles further fueled my curiosity and passion to inquire into how to alleviate suffering. My own personal journey has been to work on having healthy relationships, becoming vulnerable and being open to accepting parts of myself that are hidden and facing life’s many trials and tribulations. 

I constantly strive to learn and grow as a professional and as an individual so that I can provide the best care to my clients. I invite you to give yourself an opportunity to grow from your challenges. 

Please feel free to book a 20-minute no-fee consultation to explore if we are a good fit!

Therapy can be a place to slow down and make sense of what’s beneath the surface.

Grounding techniques are tools that help regulate your nervous system by engaging your senses. When anxiety takes over, your body may go into “fight, flight, or freeze.”Bringing awareness to your surroundings helps signal to your brain that you are safe in this moment.Try this 5-4-3-2-1 method:
5 things you can see
4 things you can touch
3 things you can hear
2 things you can smell
1 thing you can tasteSlow your breath between each one and allow your body to settle. ✨✨✨#grounding #anxietyrelief #mindfulness #mentalhealth #selfcare #mentalwellness #stressrelief #calm #therapytools #mindfulmoment #presentmoment #mentalhealthawareness #selfregulation
