Get to Know Me

My inspiration to pursue counseling emerged in my early teens, witnessing people around me suffer in silence without anyone to help. Over five years as a Clinical Psychologist working with children and parents, I gained insight into how emotional and psychological distress—whether related to women’s issues, paternal identity, or marital discord—can manifest in children’s adjustment, academic struggles, or emotional difficulties. I believe addressing these patterns is vital, as they often ripple across families and communities, perpetuating cycles that affect society at large.

My own immigration journey to Canada uprooted me and left me feeling adrift in unfamiliar territory. I had to re-examine my identity, find my bearings, and learn to blend my roles as immigrant, parent, professional, and individual into a cohesive self. Navigating this largely alone, I uncovered resilience and a deeper understanding of how to cultivate belonging from within.

Having walked this path, I believe in a compassionate, culturally aware, and collaborative approach. I aim to create a safe, non-judgmental space where you can explore your experiences, reconnect with your strengths, and move toward healing at your own pace. I draw from trauma-informed, psychodynamic, and attachment-based models while integrating evidence-based practices like IFS, CBT, somatic work, and schema therapy. My aim is to support your healing and growth, uniquely aligned with your needs.
