Happy Couple Relaxing

Areas of Expertise

Anxiety & Depression

With a compassionate and personalized approach, I provide a safe space for you to explore your feelings, understand your triggers, and build effective coping strategies. Together, we can work towards healing and a brighter, more balanced future.

Life Transitions​

Changes can feel very overwhelming (even positive change!). Together, we will work on accepting, and incorporating grounding techniques, as well as fresh perspectives to tackle new life situation.

Trauma Therapy & PTSD
Technique aimed at alleviating the distress linked to troubling memories. During a session, clients recall a specific distressing experience while following a side-to-side visual stimulus provided by the therapist.

Communication Issues &

Self Esteem
 I help clients develop healthier communication skills and build self-esteem by uncovering limiting beliefs, reducing self-doubt, and fostering assertiveness. Together, we’ll work toward creating more meaningful connections and a stronger sense of self-worth.

Body Image & Eating Disorders

I offer a safe, empathetic environment where you can explore and heal your relationship with food and body image. Together, we work towards building a healthier, more fulfilling life. I specialize in binge-eating & Bulimia Nervosa disorders.

Racism, Oppression & Immigrant Experience

Navigating the challenges of racism, oppression, and the immigrant experience can be overwhelming. As a compassionate psychotherapist, I'm here to provide a safe space where you can explore these complex issues, process emotions, and build resilience. Together, we will work towards healing, empowerment, and cultivating a sense of belonging. As an immigrant and a POC myself - you are not alone on this journey; let's embark on it together.

Professional Burnout &

Work-Life Balance

Feeling overwhelmed, exhausted, or disconnected from your work can take a toll on every area of your life. Together, we’ll work on stress management techniques and mindset shifts that allow you to thrive both personally and professionally.
