Isayah helps people of all ages and backgrounds who feel unsure about themselves, aren't motivated, or feel stuck in life. He can also assist with challenges related to various transitions, addiction, cultural issues, relationships, and social difficulties. Isayah is a licensed social worker with experience working in different roles. He believes that you know your life best and will help you review your story, identify issues, and find solutions.

Isayah’s practice is grounded in over eight years of frontline work and over a decade of personal and professional growth. Isayah is a Toronto-born first-generation Canadian of Filipino and Chinese heritage. He is familiar with navigating the nuances of diversity, culture, and identity in the modern world. Isayah has developed an integrated approach to therapy that can help you form healing relationships, achieve mental clarity, and reach your potential.

Isayah blends developmental and psychodynamic psychology with narrative therapy and gestalt therapy. He can help you identify patterns that develop due to trauma, unresolved issues, or maladaptive coping strategies. He uses approaches such as cognitive behavioural therapy, dialectical behaviour therapy, emotionally-focused therapy, mindfulness strategies, and solution-focused planning in sessions. He can help you identify and overcome unhealthy habits that block you from becoming your best self. Isayah firmly believes that therapy is holistic: that growth in one area of life can positively impact other areas. Isayah is a passionate ally who creates a safe space for healing through therapeutic conversation and genuine engagement. Isayah will join you in therapy to create a new narrative based on your intrinsic strengths and lifelong goals.
