- Profile
With over 20 years of experience, I offer video counseling to individuals around the world, helping people navigate life’s challenges with warmth, compassion, and cultural sensitivity. I have worked extensively with clients from a wide range of ethnic, national, and cultural backgrounds—including Third Culture Kids (TCKs), immigrants, and expats—supporting them through transitions, identity issues, and the complexities of cross-cultural living.
Therapy, in my approach, is not just about solving problems—it’s about fostering personal growth, emotional resilience, and a deeper connection to self and others. Especially in today’s unpredictable world, support through therapy can be an invaluable anchor.
My therapeutic style is eclectic and tailored to each person’s unique needs. I draw from modalities such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), mindfulness, depth psychotherapy, existential therapy, art therapy, and conflict resolution. Common areas of focus include depression, anxiety, relationship difficulties, cultural adjustment, childhood trauma, anger, alienation, and low self-esteem.
Born into an immigrant family in Detroit and later relocating to Montreal, I have a personal and professional understanding of what it means to live between cultures. Over the years, I’ve worked in multicultural centers, women’s shelters, and private practice, helping clients feel seen and supported—no matter where they come from.
Now based in Vancouver, Canada, I continue to offer counseling remotely to individuals across the globe. Sessions are available via Skype, WhatsApp, FaceTime, or phone, based on your preference and convenience.
