I'm an AuDHD (autistic & ADHD) psychotherapist with experience in supporting neurodivergent communities, racialized individuals, and survivors of gender-based violence. Myself and many of the folks I’ve worked with have often been labeled by others as “weird”, “lazy”, “awkward”, and/or “full of untapped potential”. My hope is that we can remove these unhelpful external labels and replace them with ones that you write yourself – ones that you can be proud of.
- My work is informed by my experiences as a bi, neurodivergent, Southeast Asian, cisgendered woman.
- I strive to share power in the therapy space by working from an anti-oppressive and trauma-informed lens that is informed by my lived experience.
- I use a variety of different techniques that come from internal family systems/parts Work, focusing-oriented therapy, polyvagal theory, acceptance and commitment therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, and cognitive behavioral therapy.
- I graduated from the University of Toronto with a Masters in Counselling and Psychotherapy
