Hello, my name is Tunteeya (she/her). I am a Psychologist and I help people with anxiety, perfectionism, trauma, Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD), Attention Deficit Hyperactive Disorder (ADHD) and relationship problems through transitional periods of their lives.


The majority of my practice focuses on:

  • identity exploration

  • perfectionsim

  • emotion regulation

  • self-reflection


My clients often come to therapy feeling disconnected from their sense of purpose. Through self-reflection and gentle guidance, my aim is to support you in find clarity and direction.

About Me

I've worked with children, young adults, adults, and couples struggling with a wide variety of issues, including anxiety, perfectionism, trauma, Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD), Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) and relationship problems through transitional periods of their lives. Alongside my work in private practice, I supervise provisional psychologists at the College of Professional Psychologists, supporting them on their pathway to registration.


In therapy, I am warm and assertive. I will provide a space for you to express yourself freely without judgment. I believe therapy is a space for self-reflection, identity exploration, understanding patterns, and changing them to improve your life. I aim to support you in discovering how to live more in alignment with your Ikigai, which translates to your "reason for being" or "purpose." Through tailored interventions, guidance, and practical strategies, therapy is a place for you to rediscover yourself and your relationships. ​​


In my personal life, I am passionate about art and physical health. I challenge myself through long-distance running and practice my creativity and observation skills through life drawing and portrait drawing classes.​ My Ikigai is found at the intersection of art and psychology. I love being a psychologist while also reserving space for creative expression; both are essential in keeping my soul alive.

I take an integrative approach to therapy, tailoring evidence-based interventions to each unique individual. I am trauma-informed, gender-affirming, neuro-affirming and culturally-informed.
