Personal biography
Life can feel overwhelming at times, and it isn’t always easy to reach out for support. If you’re considering therapy, you’ve already taken an important first step. You deserve a space where you feel heard, understood, and accepted without judgment.
I chose this field because I understand how difficult it can be to navigate life’s challenges alone. My hope is to provide a space where you don’t have to carry everything on your own. I believe healing happens through connection, collaboration, and feeling genuinely understood. Therapy isn’t about having all the answers—it’s about working together to better understand your experiences, build on your strengths, and move toward the life you want to create.
Approach
My approach is client-centred, drawing from evidence-based practices including Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT), and mindfulness-based strategies. Together, we can explore the relationship between your thoughts, emotions, and behaviours, develop practical coping skills, and build greater self-understanding. I have a particular interest in supporting adults who are navigating anxiety, depression, relationship concerns, self-esteem challenges, stress, and periods of change or uncertainty.
Experience
Growing up in a multicultural family has shaped the way I approach therapy, reminding me that every person’s experiences, values, and identity are unique. I strive to create a culturally responsive, compassionate, and inclusive environment where you feel safe to be yourself.
My path to becoming a therapist has been shaped by experiences supporting individuals in different stages of their mental health journey. Working in both residential care and mental health settings has reinforced my belief that healing begins with feeling seen, heard, and supported. These experiences continue to shape the way I approach therapy—with compassion, curiosity, and respect for each person’s unique story.
Working With Me
My path to becoming a therapist has been shaped by experiences supporting individuals in different stages of their mental health journey. Working in both residential care and mental health settings has reinforced my belief that healing begins with feeling seen, heard, and supported. These experiences continue to shape the way I approach therapy, with compassion, curiosity, and respect for each person's unique story. As a Master of Clinical Psychology practicum student, I provide psychological assessments and therapy to adults at Therapy Villa under the supervision of Niyati Gandhi, M.A., C.Psych with both in-person and virtual appointments available.
More Than Just My Work
Outside of my career and academics, I spend the majority (if not all) of my time with my pup, Lexi. I also enjoy going for hikes, working on puzzles, and unwinding with a good Netflix series.
