Radical presence, radical compassion, radical acceptance, and radical tenderness.

I believe that people naturally strive for growth and fulfillment. Sometimes, life inadvertently decides to throw obstacles in our way; this is when teaming up with a mental health expert (me) alongside the expert of your life (you) may be helpful. We will collaborate on goals and tap into your innate strengths in a safe and non-judgmental environment for change to occur.

I provide counselling to youth, adults, families, and couples for mental health concerns/illnesses, situational crises, life transitions, relationship concerns, behavioural problems, school problems, parent-child relationship concerns, job-related stress, suicidal ideation, and self-harm. I am passionate about working with individuals with developmental disabilities and concurrent mental health challenges, diverse populations, and children.

My approach to counselling is client-centred, trauma-informed, holistic, eclectic, evidence-based and culturally inherent, and is individually tailored to meet client needs. One of the most crucial drivers for change is the therapeutic relationship, and thus, I recognize the need for a good fit between counsellor and client. Therefore, I offer a free 20-minute phone consultation to get to know me before a session.
