ABOUT THE THERAPIST
As a Registered Psychotherapist (RP) with the College of Registered Psychotherapists of Ontario (CRPO), I offer evidence-based and culturally informed therapy services to empower individuals in a safe, caring, and non-judgmental environment. With years of experience, I am dedicated to helping clients discover and cultivate their inner strengths and resources. My approach integrates various evidence-based modalities, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Solution Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and mindfulness techniques. Recognizing the holistic nature of well-being, I also offer pastoral counselling, respecting the spiritual dimension of individuals when relevant to their lives.
Beyond my psychotherapy practice, I am a Certified Anger Management Facilitator, and actively engage in the community as a Speaker, Workshop/Seminar Facilitator, and Presenter.
