Life can feel like a storm at times, and my hope is that therapy can be a place where we slowly learn how to dance in the rain rather than waiting for it to pass.
I meet clients in the middle of their “storms”: stress, anxiety, cultural or family pressures, and support them in finding steadier ground. A lot of my own “storms” have come from navigating different cultural expectations and feeling like I had to be a slightly different version of myself in each space. Growing up between cultures and often feeling “in between” now makes me especially committed to offering a space where you don’t have to split yourself up to feel accepted.
My style is gentle, curious, and down-to-earth. I pay close attention to your lived experience, including the roles you hold and the cultural contexts you move through. If we work together, you can expect someone who listens deeply, checks in often about what feels helpful, and walks alongside you as you experiment with new ways of coping, relating, and caring for yourself. My hope is that therapy with me feels like a safe place to bring your whole self, even the parts you’re still getting to know.

Outside of the therapy room, I’m a daughter, partner, and friend who values deep conversations and meaningful connections with the people I love – and I’m usually the one throwing in bad jokes to make people laugh!
I love drawing, crafts, and taking photos: anything creative that lets me play with colour and composition. Sometimes my perfectionist side shows up, and I’m actively learning how to balance that with more self-compassion.
Being a lifelong learner is important to me, whether that’s learning more about myself, other people, or the world around me. I find a lot of joy in experiencing new things. I really enjoy learning languages and about different cultures, which helps me feel closer to people and more flexible in how I see the world.
I love trying new cuisines, and I’m especially drawn to the creativity of fusion food as a way of bringing cultures together. I enjoy taking on small creative projects too, like making my own perfume, glass art, or jewelry. For me, life feels like an ongoing experiment in creativity, connection, and finding comfort in the small things.
