You deserve to feel heard.
There is nothing more rewarding than to share in an individual’s personal journey; whether it be happiness or despair. My first experience as a helper was being my parents’ ally in learning English. As a First Generation Immigrant, I am well aware of the barriers that can hinder individuals from reaching their potential. Part of my job is to explore with clients what their barriers are and how to overcome those challenges.
My framework stems from a Feminist, client centered, trauma informed strength based approach. I provide individual counselling to adolescents and adults. I will work with my clients to reveal what strengths they have in order to take steps forward for a more healthy approach. I work with a wide range of issues such as anxiety, depression, relationship issues, life transitions, chronic health issues, LGBTQ+, trauma, dissociation, individuals with disabilities, post abortion.

In my work with folks that identify as BIPOC, we cover areas such as self esteem, foster a stronger sense of identity, how to identify and process emotions and other issues that clients struggle with.
One of the many issues that First Generation Immigrant families have is a conflict between the values from the home country and the ones taught in host country. When First Generation Immigrants go to school in a Western country such as Canada there can be tension between what the older generation’s values such as interdependence vs the newer generation values such as independence.
During psychotherapy we can cover a wide range of issues such as:
Assertiveness skills
Emotional boundaries
Corrective experiences of negative responses to shame, guilt, disappointment etc
Communication issues- explore healthy ways to communicate
Emotion regulation (how to ‘contain’ how you respond to your emotions, self soothe, ) Mindfulness (attend to body cues by staying curious rather than judging self)
