Although I am passionate about providing psychotherapy to clients across the lifespan, I have specialized experience working with child and adolescent populations. I have been privileged to witness the incredible resilience, creativity, and adaptability that often exists within these young people. I believe that all people hold strengths, talents, and uniquenesses, but in the face of life’s challenges, it may be difficult to see these things. Through conversation, play, and connection, I help clients young and older uncover these strengths as tools to use when things are tough. I believe change is facilitated by interconnectedness, particularly for children and youth. As such, I consider family and peer relationships as integral components of the healing journey. As a systemically trained therapist, and a first-generation immigrant myself, I invite conversations around culture, religion, education, and broader societal influences if it feels helpful to our work together.

Above all else, I want to meet and work with you in a way that works for you. My work is grounded in narrative, solution-focused and cognitive-behavioural approaches to therapy, but I recognize that sitting and talking alone doesn’t work for everyone. Whether you need to move around for the duration of the session, draw together while we speak, or have moments to simply sit in the silence, my hope is that we create a space together where you feel comfortable to show up as your authentic self.

I received my Master’s degree in Psychotherapy within the Relational and Psychotherapy Training Program at the University of Guelph. I am a Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying) with the College of Registered Psychotherapists of Ontario. My prior experiences include work in the non-profit early childhood and family support services sector, as well as within psychological research.
