Thank you for the opportunity to support your recovery and witness your progress toward a better future. For over 10 years, I have been honoured to support and improve the lives of youth, adults, couples, and families from diverse cultural, social, and economic backgrounds. Working with people living on the margins of society has instilled in me a passion for making a difference in people’s lives. I use a client-centred, trauma-informed, strengths-based, and culturally sensitive approach to help clients with diverse challenges, including but not limited to anxiety, depression, obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), substance and behavioural addictions, relationship issues (communication, conflicts, and intimacy), and family challenges ( parenting, substance abuse, life transitions, etc.). Together, we will work on a path forward in a non-judgmental, empathetic, respectful, affirming, and safe therapeutic environment.

The principles that guide my work include empathy, acceptance, compassion, respect, and partnership, and I embrace humanistic, integrative, and holistic approaches. Together, we will collaborate at every step of the counselling process to help you improve your mental health, enhance your well-being, grow personally, boost your self-esteem, improve your communication patterns, and empower you to advocate for yourself.

I use various theoretical orientations and therapeutic techniques, including Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT), Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT), and Motivational Interviewing (MI). I consider not only your internal world but also the impact of the external world (social, cultural, and political factors). I value professional growth and development, and I am enrolled in several therapeutic modality training and certification courses to serve you better.
