As an individual and family counsellor/therapist, I am passionate about supporting adults and their families as they navigate neurodivergence, life transitions, immigration experiences, trauma, anxiety, depression, and relationship conflicts.

Together, we will find ways to learn and understand your needs, values, and goals; explore what works and what does not work; rediscover your innate gifts; and go at your own pace while allowing opportunities to foster insights and growth.

Our sessions may also involve exploring the ‘isms’ of life (ableism, colonialism, capitalism, and individualism), which may help bring deeper insights into how you navigate and view the world and find new ways to co-exist with things that once felt overwhelming.

Many of the clients who work with with me are confirmed or self-identified Autistic and/or ADHD, first- and second-generation immigrants, adult children of immigrants, and visible minorities. I also work with couples where one or more partners is neurodivergent.

I have a particular interest in supporting folks who seek to gain a deeper understanding of their bicultural/biracial and neurodivergent identities. I am keen on supporting folks to rediscover their true selves while finding ways to strengthen the roles they play in their families (or chosen families) and communities.

I am a first-generation immigrant settler, and my lived experience navigating bicultural/immigrant expectations and identities have led me to do this work. I am passionate about lessening the barriers that many Filipinx-Canadians and Asian immigrants face when accessing mental health supports by providing a space free of judgment and acknowledging the fears, apprehensions, and unwritten rules that many of us have deeply internalized.

My method is integrative and incorporates elements of structural family therapy, dignity therapy, intersectionality, cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT), acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), and solution-focused therapy; specifically tailored to meet every clients’ values, needs, and strengths. I also provide sessions in Tagalog and offer support with service navigation and completion of forms.

I have a Master of Social Work from University of British Columbia Okanagan, and a Bachelor of Social Work from the University of British Columbia.

I have current availability to take on new clients and look forward to connecting with you soon!

As an individual and family counsellor/therapist, I work alongside youth and adult clients to explore mental health challenges, life transitions, neurodivergence, couple and family relationships, and alleviating the impact of oppressive social structures on mental wellbeing.  

In sessions with me, we will get curious about your values, beliefs and unique human experience. I will support you in identifying your strengths, fostering self-acceptance and self-compassion as you navigate life’s transitions and challenges. Together, we will explore the underlying emotions and/or unmet needs of your behaviours, thoughts and anxieties that may no longer be conducive to your growth. We will collaboratively identify more helpful strategies that meet your needs and honour your present self. 

Many of the clients who work with me are racialized adults, formally diagnosed or self-identified neurodivergent women; and family members, caregivers, and/or loved ones of neurodivergent individuals. 

I have a particular interest in supporting folks who are seeking a deeper understanding of the impact of their environment and their intersecting identities and experiences on their wellbeing and sense of self. I am passionate about supporting clients to challenge individualistic understandings of healing that may be contributing to their isolation, and explore ways to build and access safe community spaces that nurture their healing and wellbeing 

I also enjoy working with and supporting organizations to create spaces of collective healing and community building. 

I am a first-generation immigrant settler. I have worked in the social work field in various capacities for eight years, supporting parents, youth and families in navigating social systems and exploring their psycho-social-spiritual needs. I offer therapy in English and Arabic for individuals and families. 

My method is integrative and incorporates elements of cognitive behaviour therapy (CBT), solution-focused therapy, emotion-focused therapy and attachment theories; specifically tailored to meet each individual client’s values, needs, and strengths. My work is grounded in social justice and culturally-affirming perspectives and takes a person-in-environment approach.  

I have a Master of Social Work from the University of British Columbia, a Bachelor of Social Work from the University of Victoria and a Bachelor of Arts (Sociology) from Brock University.

As an individual counsellor/therapist, I work collaboratively with youth and adults to support and explore neurodivergence, trauma, mental health, identity, sexual and gender identity, well-being, relationships and confidence. 

In sessions with me, we will explore how you learned to cope and navigate the world, and how that is still showing up in present-day experiences and relationships/interactions. We will go beyond what is happening at the surface, and work through what is happening underneath. As we grow personal insight and self-confidence in who we are over time, coping and navigating the world becomes more manageable. 

Many of the clients I work with are formally diagnosed or self-identified Autistic and/or ADHD, and many are members of 2SLGBTQIA+ communities. I have a particular interest in the intersection of neurodivergence and trauma, including developmental, attachment, and complex trauma. I also enjoy working with youth to support and navigate big emotions, communication, boundary setting and self-advocacy, neurodivergence (Autism, ADHD, giftedness, learning disabilities), sexual and gender identity, coping with big life transitions, and navigating relationships. 

I am a queer, cisgender, neurodivergent white settler woman. For the past ten years I have worked and volunteered in feminist and 2SLBTQIA+ communities and organizations. My method is integrative and incorporates elements of trauma-focused therapy, sensorimotor psychotherapy, parts work/internal family systems therapy, emotion-focused therapy, acceptance commitment therapy (ACT), and minority-stress theories; specifically tailored to meet each individual client’s values, needs, and strengths. 

I have a Master of Social Work from the University of British Columbia and a Bachelor of Social Work from the University of Victoria.
