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 in a safe, caring, and non-judgmental environment. I'm also an Approved NIHB Mental Health Provider. With years of experience, I'm dedicated to helping clients discover and cultivate their inner strengths, integrating modalities like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Solution Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT), and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), alongside mindfulness techniques. Recognizing the holistic nature of well-being, I also provide pastoral counselling when relevant, and if requested by you, to your spiritual journey. Beyond my practice, I am a Certified Anger Management Facilitator and actively engage the community as a Speaker, Workshop/Seminar Facilitator
