About me
As a registered social worker in Canada and Japan, my approach is client centered and strengths focused. I have been working with LGBTQ+ communities, single parents, (international) students, and racialized individuals.
As a single parent, newcomer, queer person of colour and former international student, my passion lies in supporting people to fully bloom their internal capacities.
With a trauma-informed and cultural humility perspective, I will do my best to make a therapy safe and empowering space.
Please contact me by phone or email to set up a FREE initial consultation.
Up to 10 FREE sessions for refugee claimants with IFH (potential extension for the number of sessions).
I offer a sliding according to your financial situation.
Looking forward to our collaborative work together…
