As long as you seek the jewel of existence, you are the jewel

As long as you are searching for a bite to eat, you are the bread

If you learned this secret, you’d know

Whatever you seek, you become.

—Rumi, Divan-e-Shams, #1815

Life is a journey, and sometimes we need a guide to help us navigate the twists and turns. As a therapist, I'm here to walk alongside you, offering a compassionate and non-judgmental space for you to explore your thoughts, feelings, and experiences.

My own journey, as a woman of colour and an immigrant, has deeply informed my understanding of the world and the challenges we face. I believe in the importance of creating a therapeutic space that is judgment-free, compassionate, tolerant, anti-incarceration, anti-capitalist, and anti-colonialist.

I'm committed to fostering a relationship built on trust, respect, and a shared commitment to healing and growth. Together, we can work towards a deeper understanding of yourself and your place in the world.

I invite you to explore my website to learn more about my approach and how I can support you on your journey of self-discovery.

30-min Consultation (No Charge)

For those who are new to my practice or new to therapy:

Finding the right therapist can get very exhausting and frustrating. The least I can do is to offer you a space to bring in your goals and your questions to me in order to make this decision as informed as possible.

I offer consultations at no charge and online only. If you choose to work together and decide to attend in-person sessions, we can arrange that. To book your consultation click on the link below.

In 50-min sessions, we will explore your life story, the challenges you are facing and the goals you have set for yourself.

Psychometric Assessments

As a Registered Psychotherapist (RP) with the College of Registered Psychotherapists of Ontario (CRPO) I am qualified to offer all level-2 type psychometric assessments.

All psychometric assessments will be completed with a pre and a post assessment interview with the client.

For more information and inquiry about the rates, please reach out to me by clicking below.

NOTE: if you need your assessment report for an official purpose (e.g. submitting for ODSP, etc.) you must ensure that a report from a RP will be accepted for your purpose, as CRPO registrants are not medical personnel.
