Does This Sound Like You?
You feel things deeply, maybe more than you let on. On the outside, you might look like you’re keeping it together, but inside, you’re often overwhelmed, anxious, or exhausted by the effort it takes to function, connect, or just be.
Your mind races with thoughts you can’t turn off. You might struggle with focus, self-doubt, emotional burnout, or the quiet belief that something about you is just… too much or not enough.
​
Maybe you’ve been shaped by past wounds, childhood experiences, trauma, or relationships where your needs weren’t met. Now, those old patterns show up in how you think, how you relate, how safe you feel in your own body and with others.
Perhaps you're constantly people-pleasing, avoiding conflict, or questioning whether you're worthy of love, success, or rest. ADHD, anxiety, low self-esteem, and relationship struggles often overlap in complex ways, and they don’t get better by just pushing through.
​
Whether you're seeking therapy for yourself or with your partner, you deserve a space where your full experience is welcome. Our therapists can help you understand your patterns, heal the wounds underneath, and build practical tools that fit your brain, your relationships, and your goals. Healing isn’t about perfection...it’s about finding a blissful balance.
If any of this sounds like you, you’re not alone.
And we’re here to help you...

Improve Relationships
Whether in individual or couples therapy, you'll develop the confidence to set boundaries, communicate more honestly, and stop shrinking yourself for the comfort of others.

We help clients with ADHD develop practical tools for focus, emotional regulation, and time management, while also building self-compassion and celebrating the strengths of a neurodivergent mind.

Trying to keep it all together, especially when your mind is always “on”, can feel exhausting. Whether you’re managing anxiety, struggling to focus, navigating complex relationships, or living with the weight of cultural or identity pressures, you don’t have to figure it out alone.
​
I offer a compassionate, client-centered space where you can slow down and reconnect with who you are beneath the overwhelm. My approach is holistic and integrative, drawing from ACT, CBT, mindfulness, psychodynamic, and existential therapies, always tailored to your unique story and cultural context.
​
I have a strong passion for working with neurodivergent clients, especially those with ADHD, helping you build personalized strategies for executive functioning, emotional regulation, and self-compassion, without pathologizing the way your brain works.
I also work with couples, supporting partners in understanding each other more deeply, breaking out of reactive cycles, and fostering stronger emotional connections. Whether you're navigating anxiety, identity exploration, relationship challenges, or neurodiversity, we’ll work together to help you move from self-doubt to self-understanding, at a pace that feels right for you.

Before I founded Blissful Balance Counselling, I found it difficult to find a therapist who understood my cultural background and that I just...clicked with. Through careful selection, I have cultivated a team of therapists who possess not only the knowledge and training but also the lived experiences necessary to effectively serve clients from diverse backgrounds. At Blissful Balance Counselling, we are committed to support you in navigating life's challenges, guiding you toward greater resilience and restoring balance and bliss in your life.
