I work with adults navigating people-pleasing, anxiety, burnout, perfectionism, self-esteem, relationships, family of origin concerns, & cultural or family expectations. Many of the people I work with are trying to understand how their family experiences, culture, identity, relationships, or roles have shaped the way they respond to others & to themselves.
My approach is warm, curious, relational, & culturally responsive. Rather than jumping straight to advice or strategies, I like to understand the bigger picture first. Together, we might explore patterns in your relationships, what you learned in your family of origin, the expectations you carry, & how certain coping strategies may have helped you protect things like connection, belonging, approval, safety, identity, or cultural belonging.
Therapy can be a space to understand these patterns with more curiosity & less judgment, while considering what still fits, what feels important to hold on to, & what you might want to do differently.
My hope is that our work helps you understand yourself more deeply, build greater self-trust, communicate more openly, & make choices that feel more aligned with who you are.
I offer virtual individual & family therapy to adults across Ontario.
