After finishing my international Baccalaureate (IB) studies, I graduated from the university of Toronto with a major in human biology, a minor in psychology and a minor in French. Then, I completed my Masters degree in Counselling psychology from Yorkville university.
Five years ago, I began serving in orphanages in Kenya and later in prisons, where I saw firsthand how one genuine interaction could bring hope. Without offering material help, I learned that presence, care, and deep listening could be profoundly healing. I spent time with single mothers who were neglected or widowed, teens who were abandoned by their parents, and young people who survived abuse within their families. These experiences changed me and gave me purpose. They led me to psychotherapy, where I could dedicate myself to walking alongside people in pain.
As a therapist, I meet you where you are to help you with what you are struggling with in life. You do not deserve to be alone. Why go through it alone if you have a helping hand desiring to accompany you on your journey? My role is to listen with curiosity and compassion, to understand your unique story, and to help you build tools for healing, growth, and resilience. I believe that therapy is not about fixing you, but about creating a safe space where you can feel seen, valued, and supported.
I work with children, adolescents, adults, and seniors, supporting individuals, couples, and families. Some of the issues I work with include anxiety, depression, ADHD, anger, trauma, grief, family conflict, identity, body image, substance use, and relationship challenges. I also integrate faith and spirituality into therapy when it feels important to the client.
My approach is flexible and personalized to your needs. I draw on a variety of evidence-based therapies, including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Emotion-Focused Therapy (EFT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Internal Family Systems (IFS), Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT), Adlerian Therapy, Existential Therapy, Narrative Therapy, Strengths-Based Therapy, Relational Therapy, and Christian Counselling. Together, we will find the approach that best supports you.
