Accepting New Clients - In-person and Virtual

– Most of us come to therapy because we’ve been hurt by those who should be in therapy. While this can feel unfair and frustrating it means that you are breaking the generational patterns of avoidance and lack of accountability that others are afraid of! How iconic!

I can relate to the struggles of having immigrant caregivers who may have wanted the best for you but their tools for encouragement may have been punitive, isolating and controlling. As a child, this may have looked like taking up as little space as possible, perfectionism, or being the ‘good’ obedient child. As an adult, this may look like self-doubt, people pleasing, codependency and identity confusion.

Accepting that your caregivers did the best they could with the tools they had can be difficult. But these untended wounds can still heal regardless of how much time has passed and this does not have to be your pattern forever.

My experience working in the field of addiction and co-occurring disorders has informed my approach. I have a profound understanding and empathy for how feeling those difficult feelings can cause even more pain and have seen how we may engage in unhealthy behaviours to shove them down. Together we can talk about what has always been unspoken: your feelings, thoughts and pain. Our space is all ABOUT you and FOR you to work on accepting the past and not letting it define who you are today. Let’s work together to let go of the things holding you back from the life that you want for yourself and celebrate those successes along the way!

Accepting New Clients - In-person and Virtual

– As your therapist, I strive to create an environment where you feel seen and heard – comfortable to explore your roots through a collaborative and supportive environment. I strive to see the person beyond the problem by recognizing our inherent strengths, talents, and passions as humans to facilitate meaningful change.

My clients are typically adults struggling with anxiety, depression, perfectionism, burnout, body image issues, disordered eating, and life stressors. My approach is informed by Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, inner child healing, and trauma-informed practices. Using a client-centered approach, we will reconnect you with yourself, and foster self-acceptance, self-compassion, and empowerment.

I believe that you are not something that is broken or in need or fixing, but one that is in need of finding… let’s find you together! I’m here to support you through every step of the way into feeling like yourself again and building a life that is meaningful and authentic to you. I look forward to meeting with you!

– As your therapist, I am committed to hearing you beyond your words and seeing you beyond what is shown. I am passionate about helping you reconnect with the parts of yourself that have been wounded through challenges of the past. Through a client-centered lens, I strive to foster an environment where you feel heard, seen and appreciated for the intersecting strengths, values and identities that you hold.

I typically work with adults struggling with depression, anxiety, complex trauma, grief, identity, and relational issues. I use a trauma-informed approach to safely support clients in the rediscovery of their true selves. Together, we will build and learn to walk along a path that is aligned with your values instead of the one built for you by others.

I believe that you are capable of building the bright, healthy, and meaningful life that you deserve. Life is like a sandbox - we can build what we want! Let’s work together and make transformative changes that’ll help you flourish into the person that you were meant to be. I look forward to meeting you soon!
