Maybe you’re here because you’ve reached a point where you’re asking, “Who am I now?”

I became a therapist because I know that place deeply and personally. For years, I was caring for others—working full-time, studying part-time, striving and achieving—while quietly feeling overwhelmed, anxious, and stretched thin. I’ve also experienced grief: the loss of a career identity, dreams that didn’t unfold, and feeling unseen within my own faith community when I was told that I simply needed to “pray more.”

Before becoming a therapist, I worked as a Registered Nurse for over 20 years across transplant, ICU, emergency, post-operative care, and later as a manager in geriatrics at a tertiary mental health centre. Eventually, I transitioned into counselling and psychotherapy for four years at a not-for-profit community centre and returned to school to deepen this work.

As a first-generation Canadian, I carried a strong sense of responsibility to succeed, shaped by my parents’ sacrifices. Over time, I realized my worth was not defined by achievement. That realization deeply informs how I show up today.

I understand what it’s like to feel like you’ve lost yourself while holding everything together for everyone else. I also know that even in uncertainty and brokenness, healing and restoration are possible. That belief is the heart of my work.

When I’m not in-session, you’ll find me watching a K-drama, browsing vintage shops, or enjoying taro coconut milk bubble tea, or a chai/London fog latte. I live in Durham Region with my spouse, our two teenage boys, and our poovanese dog. My spiritual beliefs remind me that even in suffering, we are held, and that transformation is always possible. If my approach resonates with you, I’d love to connect–no pressure, no obligation–just a conversation about how I might support your journey.
