MACP, BSC, REGISTERED PSYCHOTHERAPIST (QUALFYING) – CRPO
SHE / HER

I am a warm, empathetic Psychotherapist committed to helping individuals navigate life’s challenges with clarity, resilience, and hope. I believe therapy is most effective when it honours the whole person: their story, culture, strengths, and potential. I am particularly passionate about supporting clients through relationship struggles, stress management, self-esteem concerns, depression, anxiety, life transitions, and exploring cultural identity, seeing you beyond your symptoms. I also work closely with young adults seeking direction, as well as with parents and couples aiming to rebuild trust, strengthen communication, and deepen emotional bonds. When you work with me, you can expect a safe, non-judgmental space where your experiences are valued, and your pace is respected.

More About Somy

Together, we will explore your concerns, uncover underlying patterns, and develop practical tools to help you move forward. My style is collaborative; I view you as the expert on your life, while I bring curiosity, clinical insight, and strategies to guide our work. My goal is not only to help you navigate your current challenges but also to empower you with skills, confidence, and clarity that last well beyond therapy. If you are ready to take that step toward change, I would be honoured to walk alongside you on that journey.
