I'm a Registered Psychotherapist with experience supporting individuals, couples and families of all ages. With a background in neurobiology, I values understanding how the worlds of mental health and neuroscience intersect. Taking a client-centred, trauma-informed approach, I also values asking deeper, more profound questions to inspire lasting change. 

About Me 

I have experience supporting individuals, couples, and families from all walks of life.

 

In 2018, I worked with the Children's Aid Society in Toronto to implement the Healthy Teens Project for at-risk families and youth. Additionally, I've worked as a Crisis Counsellor at the Toronto Rape Crisis Centre, where I became skilled at de-escalating  very intense emotions and situations. Together, these experiences have allowed me to take a trauma-informedculturally-sensitive approach in my work. 

​

I've also worked within the COMPASS program for the York Region District School Board and York Region Catholic District School Board. This program is designed to support elementary-aged children who require counselling and support to address social, emotional and behavioural concerns. 

​

Outside of my clinical work, I'm passionate about mentoring and leading others, especially other psychotherapists. I truly believe in the mind-body-spirit connection, and I approach mental health with the understanding that while chronic stress and trauma impact us deeply, our mind and bodies also have the innate capacity and resiliency to heal when given the right support.

​

I speak five different languages: English, French (elementary), Hindi, Gujarati, and Korean (elementary).
