Hi there, I'm Shermaine!

As an immigrant who has navigated the in-between spaces of identity, belonging, and adaptation, I understand the complexity of the journey to finding your place. My goal is to establish a safe therapeutic space where we explore your unique story with openness, empathy, respect, and curiosity.

My focus

I specialize in supporting adults navigating cultural and immigration stress, identity development, life transitions, and relationship challenges. Experiences of anxiety, depression, trauma, and grief are not easy things to carry; I look forward to helping you make sense of your experiences and move toward a life aligned with your values.

My approach

My work is rooted in a social justice-oriented, trauma-informed, strengths-based perspective. I believe it’s essential to name the broader systemic challenges that impact our mental health. Together, we'll explore your concerns while recognizing and building upon your existing strengths to foster lasting change and self-efficacy.
