ten·der·ly /ˈtendərlē/

I’m a queer, neurodivergent (AuDHD), non-binary, multi-racial settler of Southeast Asian and Arab descent, and Registered Social Worker living and practicing on Turtle Island, in what is currently known as Ontario, Canada. 

In my practice, I'm especially passionate about offering high-quality care that centres the health and well-being of racialized, neurodivergent, queer, trans and gender-diverse folx. I bring an authentic, affirming, relational, intersectional feminist, and anti-oppressive approach to therapy.

I understand healing as a process that emerges through our bodies, relationships, communities, systems, and histories.  I am committed to care that is culturally responsive, affirming, and attuned, while remaining curious about the ways power, identity, oppression, and lived experience shape our relationship to ourselves and others.

In our work together, I aim to create a space where you feel respected, seen, and supported to explore your thoughts, emotions, sensations, and experiences at your own pace. 

My approach is dynamic, but not rigid or overly clinical. It makes room for humour, imperfection, and genuine connection alongside the harder moments. 

While discomfort and challenge may arise along the way, they will always be held tenderly.
