My Story

Inspired by
human resilience.

I am a registered psychotherapist with a deep passion for supporting individuals through life's most challenging moments. What continually inspires me is the strength, determination, and resiliency of people who strive to thrive despite adversity.

My path to psychotherapy was shaped by a genuine curiosity about the human experience and a commitment to creating spaces where every person, regardless of background, culture, or identity, feels truly seen and valued.

I offer an open, inclusive, collaborative, and non-judgmental therapeutic space. Individuals from all walks of life, cultures, and backgrounds are welcome.

My Style and Approach

Integrative,
human-centred.

My approach is eclectic and integrative, drawing from multiple evidence-based modalities, tailored specifically to you. I do not believe in a one-size-fits-all model of therapy.

At the heart of my practice is a genuine belief that every person has the capacity to grow, heal, and live meaningfully, even in the face of great difficulty.
