Throughout life there are many factors that influence and shape the unique person we become. As a therapist, I believe in the power of self-awareness and self-acceptance and I seek to assist you in the process of self-exploration and self-growth. I work from a multicultural, nonjudgmental, compassionate, and anti-oppressive lens to understand your needs from the context of your environment, personal relationships and upbringing. I value the importance of trust and empathy in a therapeutic relationship as I strive to create a safe space to share and discuss concerns.
With over 10 years of experience in the field, my approach to therapy is client centered as I believe that the answers lie within each person and through creating an optimal environment and a strong bond, I attempt to help individuals and families find clarity and peace. As humans we have the capacity to adapt and discover more meaning & joy in life as we encounter and overcome obstacles in our lives. To me, happiness is the process of solving problems and developing more adaptive ways of being.
As an experienced relational therapist, I provide individual, couples and family therapy to youth and adults. I work with a range of psychological issues including mood disorders, self-esteem and identity work, ADHD and Trauma. I believe in meeting each person where they are in life and thus create customized treatment plans using an integrative model to care.
As a seasoned intuitive therapist, my modalities include short- and long-term approaches. Some of the commonly applied approaches include CBT, DBT, Solution Focused, as well as Narrative therapy, EFT for couples and Trauma informed modalities including EMDR, Inner Child Work, Attachment based modalities and Psycho-somatic focused work.
Apart from my trainings in traditional Western psychotherapy, I utilize Eastern energy work and tap into the nervous system utilizing Yoga inspired trauma work which I had gained through months of training in Indonesia.
As a member of the College of Psychotherapist of Ontario, I offer virtual therapy from the comfort of your own space. I am excited to help you achieve your wellness as being able to be a part of your therapeutic journey to healing is truly rewarding.
