Hi, I’m Shila.

I work with people from various walks of life who face life challenges such as burnout & work stress, life transitions, and relationship issues. I from a strengths-based, client-centred approach that blends . My focus is on helping clients clarify values,

My approach is warm, collaborative, and affirming of our many diverse experiences of life. We will always move at the speed of relationship and trust, a value that is very important to me. As a queer immigrant living with a cognitive disability, I understand first-hand the importance of creating a therapeutic space where you can slowly let down your walls and just be.

I first came to this work after 16+ years in community health care, mental health and substance use, HIV/AIDS care, human rights activism, and policy advocacy. Among different These diverse experiences have taught me there are many paths to healing and wholeness.

One of these paths is to foster re-connections between our body-mind-heart and between us and our wise kin, Nature. This is the path I offer, supported by evidence-based approaches such as Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy, Internal Family Systems, and Narrative Therapy.

It would be an honour to walk alongside you in your journey.
