About me

I am a registered social worker and psychotherapist in Ontario, Alberta, and British Columbia.

I work with clients who may be struggling with anxiety, depression, and perfectionism, and are prone to feelings of shame and guilt. You may notice feeling increasingly disconnected from yourself, as you dedicate yourself to various domains of life including school, work, friendships, family, and romantic relationships. You may be yearning for change, to feel more whole, and yet communicating your feelings or setting boundaries may give rise to feelings of guilt and fears of being "selfish".

​

I also specialize in providing culturally sensitive therapy. Our sessions may help you explore your cultural identity, and the intricacies of navigating your relationship with your parents.

​

Having worked in health care, I have a special interest in supporting those working in helping professions, alongside therapists and therapists in training. Together, we can explore your experiences of self-doubt, perfectionism, compassion fatigue, and feelings of shame that may accompany you as you undergo the transition of assuming a professional identity. 

​

I support people in appreciating their inherent strengths and in cultivating a deep understanding of the meaning behind their emotions. Part of our work together may also involve exploring how various coping strategies came to be, and cultivating new ways of being that reflect your goals and values.

​

I also support clients in exploring their relationship with emotions, including what messages they received from others during their upbringing and life experiences about what emotions were "acceptable" and which emotions were "unwelcome".  I supporting clients in cultivating a new relationship with emotions, one where they come to view emotions as containing important information about their needs, wants, and boundaries rather than a source of distress or overwhelm.
