Many of us experience moments of irritability, sadness, or unease without fully understanding why. These feelings—often carried alone—can affect relationships, work, and overall well-being. Stress, emotional struggles, and unresolved past experiences, including those rooted in childhood, can deeply influence how we navigate life today.
As a registered psychotherapist, EMDR-trained clinician, and MindFIT facilitator, I support individuals experiencing stress, depression, emotional disturbances, and trauma. I offer a safe, compassionate, and nonjudgmental space where we work together to develop coping strategies and explore paths toward healing and growth.
My background includes a Master of Pastoral Studies with a focus on Buddhist spiritual care, which informs my holistic approach and respect for each client’s values, beliefs, and lived experiences. As an immigrant with extensive workforce experience, I also understand the complexities of cultural transitions and the pressures of daily life.
You don’t have to face these challenges alone. I’m here to support you in working toward a healthier, more fulfilling life. Reach out when you’re ready—we can begin this journey together.
