Presenting as high-functioning on the outside, but feeling stuck and frustrated on the inside? You're smart, creative, and capable, and yet internally you may be struggling with ADHD, anxiety, people-pleasing, identity issues, and relational trauma or attachment wounds. As an adult child of immigrants, a psychotherapist, and a Christian creative, I believe in living a purpose-first, values-aligned life, which means honouring your needs, even when that feels foreign to you.

I work with big feelers and high achievers who are ready to drop the mask, heal from what hurts, and create a life that feels good, not just looks good. I integrate emotion-focused and psychodynamic inner work with somatic strategies to support emotional processing and healing, and I incorporate evidence-based tools to help clients manage shame, stress, and executive dysfunction, bridging insight with practical clinical skills. With consent, I also integrate spiritual perspectives such as praise and prayer for clients who want that dimension in their care.

I primarily practice from an Emotion-Focused standpoint, drawing on DBT, IFS, narrative, humanistic, and somatic frameworks as needed. For Christian clients, by request and with consent, I can integrate Biblical counselling. My approach is integrative, holistic, and custom-built for each person, creating a safe, calming space to explore your thoughts, feelings, and experiences while building regulation and resilience.

I offer virtual therapy to clients across Ontario and in-person sessions in downtown Toronto. If you're ready to heal from fight-flight mode, people-pleasing, and emotional trauma, and want to move forward with agency and inner peace, I'd be honoured to journey with you.
