As a graduate-level counselling intern currently completing my Master of Arts in Counselling Psychology (MACP), I bring both lived experience and professional passion to the work we’ll do together. My journey began when I immigrated to Canada in my 30s, a life-changing experience that deepened my understanding of identity, belonging, and personal growth. Embracing the cultural, spiritual, and emotional diversity around me has shaped my holistic approach to counselling, allowing me to connect with people from many different backgrounds and life experiences.
Before stepping into the world of counselling, I worked with humanitarian organizations, where I supported individuals and communities in navigating crisis and recovery. These experiences have grounded me in compassion, cultural humility, and a deep respect for each person’s unique story. I aim to create a therapeutic space that feels safe, non-judgmental, and empowering, where you can feel truly heard and supported. Whether you’re navigating life transitions, emotional pain, or searching for clarity, I’m here to walk alongside you as you reconnect with your inner strength and move toward healing and growth on your own terms.
I integrate evidence-based modalities in a person-centred, collaborative manner, tailoring each session to your goals. My primary approaches include Internal Family Systems (IFS), Compassion-Focused Therapy (CFT), Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), Gestalt Therapy, and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT). I also draw from Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT) to support actionable, strengths-based change. I believe in creating a safe space where we can explore emotions, thought patterns, and trauma while building tools for resilience and healing.
I am deeply committed to supporting individuals from diverse racial, cultural, sexual, and spiritual backgrounds. I welcome anyone who feels that my services may resonate with them. My approach is holistic and trauma-informed, with a focus on empowering you to move through life's obstacles and embrace personal and emotional growth at your own pace.

In our work together, you will learn to embrace self-reflection, build emotional awareness, and move toward self-acceptance and authenticity. Together, we will identify and shift unhelpful patterns, break cycles of anxiety and depression, and foster healthy coping mechanisms. You will gain a deeper understanding of your emotions, improve communication, and enhance your relationships, all while exploring your inner world with curiosity and compassion.
As a MACP student, I am continually expanding my knowledge and skills. Some of my specialized training includes:
You might find me strumming a guitar, free-falling from the sky, or enjoying the stillness of a forest trail. I’m a musician at heart and a thrill-seeker by nature; skydiving and bungee jumping are just as much a part of my journey as yoga and meditation. I’m also a proud plant parent and devoted cat dad. Whether it’s hiking with furry friends or enjoying quiet moments with nature, I find joy in the balance between adventure and mindfulness.
