About Me:
I believe we all have the capacity for meaningful change. With the right tools, support, and space to heal, that growth can be lasting and transformative.
As a Registered Clinical Counsellor (RCC) with a Master’s degree in Counselling Psychology, my approach is collaborative, grounded, and compassionate. I aim to be straightforward without being harsh, and supportive without pressure. My role is to walk alongside you as we identify and work through the barriers keeping you from living a more connected, dynamic, and fulfilling life.
For over a decade, I have offered therapy to individuals, couples, and families from diverse cultural backgrounds. My practice is trauma-informed, solution-focused, and culturally responsive, with counselling available in English, French, and Farsi.
Before stepping fully into private practice, I spent many years in the settlement and integration sector, both on the frontlines and in leadership roles. Much of my career has been dedicated to advocacy and mental health support for vulnerable and equity-deserving communities, including immigrants, refugees, and racialized women.
In addition to counselling, I provide national consulting, curriculum development, and wellness facilitation for organizations and funders across Canada—helping to strengthen the mental health capacity of the sector as a whole.
