Compassionate, Culturally Sensitive Therapy in Etobicoke & Ontario

Feeling truly understood is what makes therapy work. I’m a therapist who cares and gets where you’re coming from. I focus on culturally sensitive therapy in Etobicoke and all over Ontario. Every session is tailored just for you, reflecting your unique background and life experiences.

What is Culturally Sensitive Therapy?

Culturally sensitive therapy involves counselling approaches that recognize and respect your cultural values, traditions, beliefs, and identity. Maybe you’re an immigrant looking for mental health support, a child of immigrants, or just someone who wants therapy that embraces diversity—this could be for you. It’s about creating a safe, affirming space where you can feel at home and explore both the strengths and challenges of your culture and its effects on your current life.

In my practice, I don’t just stop at understanding your culture. I weave your personal experiences and worldview into our sessions. That way, we can connect deeply and work toward healing that means something to you.

Benefits of Culturally Informed Therapy

When you choose a therapist who lived and grew up among people of different backgrounds and cultural differences- you’re working with someone who truly understands.

Here’s how it might help:

Personalized Approach: Your therapy is built around you, respecting your cultural identity and personal story.
Inclusive Environment: It’s a warm, safe space welcoming those of you who are part of marginalized groups and diverse backgrounds.
Enhanced Understanding: You could gain deeper insights into your emotions, relationships, and big life changes with a culturally aware approach.
