“I am committed to helping my clients achieve their highest level of independence and functioning by supporting them in identifying the sources of their distress and taking meaningful steps toward self-healing.”

About Me

As a therapist, I provide psychological assessments and interventions for individuals experiencing a wide range of mental health challenges. I am also a passionate mental health advocate who values raising awareness and engaging in meaningful conversations about emotional wellbeing. I strive to practise self-care and maintain a healthy work-life balance. In my spare time, you’ll likely find me experimenting in the kitchen, giving my cat belly rubs, reading non-fiction books, or playing the piano.
