Philosophy  

You deserve to show up to therapy as your authentic self without judgement or shame. I believe that therapy is less about the modalities or therapy approaches used, and more about meeting you where you’re at in your unique journey. My approach is not one-size-fits-all; it’s a personalized experience that respects your needs and individuality. Collaboration is important, and our work together will be a partnership based on trust, compassion, empathy.
I support people with anxiety, depression, stress and burnout, life changes, and also have a passion for supporting pregnant women, new mothers, and children of immigrants. In learning about you, your journey, and your life experiences, we can decide on a course of treatment together to help you thrive in all facets of life. 
Starting this process can be scary and overwhelming. I aim to create a safe and comfortable space for individuals of all unique cultures and backgrounds. Through our work together, we can empower you to navigate life’s challenges, capitalize on your inner strengths and resilience, and create a roadmap towards a more fulfilling and purposeful life.
