We will start where you are.

My Background and Approach

I specialize in working with adults and young adults who have experienced trauma, interpersonal violence or disconnection, substance use disorders, stressful life transitions, and grief and loss. My also specialize in trauma originating from immigration and oppression. As an integrative psychotherapist, I offer EMDR, CBT, Solution Focused Brief Therapy, and somatic and mindfulness therapies depending your need. Because distressing and traumatic events often leave us feeling alone in our experiences, I strive to provide a non-judgmental, warm, compassionate, and collaborative space and relationship.

My Personal Beliefs and Interests

I focus on resilience, building deeper insights, making desired changes, and letting go of what no longer is working. I believe that human beings are geared towards healing, so I support people in reclaiming their voice and building a trusting connection with themselves. I also believe that mental health and wellness has to be viewed in the context of someone's experiences in their community(ties).
