Registered Psychotherapist (RP) with the College of Registered Psychotherapists of Ontario (CRPO). My path into therapy was shaped by a deep commitment to supporting those in vulnerable circumstances, especially immigrants and refugees. These formative experiences strengthened my trauma-informed lens and deepened my dedication to helping individuals navigate complex mental health challenges.<\/p><p data-start=\"443\" data-end=\"836\" data-is-last-node=\"\" data-is-only-node=\"\">In my practice, I focus on cultivating a safe, welcoming, and nonjudgmental environment where clients feel genuinely heard and valued. I believe meaningful healing grows from a therapeutic relationship grounded in empathy and respect. I invite clients to take an active role in guiding our work together, ensuring their lived experiences and personal goals remain at the center of the process.<\/p><p data-start=\"0\" data-end=\"481\">My therapeutic approach is grounded in evidence-based modalities such as Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), trauma-informed care, grief-informed therapy, Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT), and Gottman-informed therapy. I thoughtfully adapt each framework to align with the unique goals, challenges, and strengths of every client, creating a personalized and comprehensive therapeutic experience.<\/p><p data-start=\"483\" data-end=\"594\" data-is-last-node=\"\" data-is-only-node=\"\">In addition to individual counselling, I am committed to supporting clients across a range of areas, including:<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-fb67c18 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"fb67c18\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p data-start=\"0\" data-end=\"441\"><strong data-start=\"0\" data-end=\"19\" data-is-only-node=\"\">Family Therapy:<\/strong><br data-start=\"19\" data-end=\"22\" \/>I support families in strengthening communication, addressing conflict constructively, and nurturing healthier, more connected relationships.
