Life can be challenging, even for those who appear to have everything under control. At different stages of life, we may find ourselves feeling overwhelmed, stuck, disconnected, or uncertain about the path ahead. We may struggle with anxiety, relationship difficulties, parenting challenges, grief, stress, burnout, or significant life transitions. Sometimes, we know that something needs to change, but we are not sure where to begin.

Seeking support takes courage, and therapy can provide the space to better understand yourself, navigate challenges, strengthen relationships, and create meaningful and lasting change.

As a Registered Psychotherapist with nearly 20 years of experience, I have had the privilege of supporting thousands of individuals, couples, and families through some of the most difficult and transformative moments of their lives. My approach is compassionate, collaborative, and evidence-based. I strive to create a safe, supportive, and non-judgmental environment where clients feel heard, understood, and empowered to move toward their goals.

In 2020, I founded The Better Care Wellness Clinic with the vision of providing high-quality, culturally responsive mental health care to our community. As both a clinician and clinic founder, I remain deeply committed to continuous learning and professional development, ensuring that the individuals and families I serve receive care that reflects the latest evidence-based practices.

My clinical interests include ADHD, anxiety disorders, obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), depression, emotional regulation, relationship challenges, life transitions, immigrant mental health, grief and loss, and stress management. I also have a particular passion for supporting gifted and twice-exceptional (2e) children, adolescents, and their families, offering parent guidance and practical strategies to help children thrive while nurturing confidence, resilience, and family connection.

Whether you are navigating a difficult period in your life or seeking personal growth and greater well-being, I would be honoured to support you on your journey.
