I am a pre-licensed provisional psychologist, waiting my confirmation for registration. I received my undergraduate degree in Psychology from the University of Alberta.

First of all, I want to thank you for taking this first step in coming to therapy. I know it can be difficult but I truly admire your courage in overcoming this challenge. I’m confident you’ll continue to overcome many more in the future. As a master’s student in counselling, I am committed to providing a safe, supportive, and encouraging space where my clients can explore their thoughts, emotions, and challenges. Growing up in a BIPOC community, I experienced firsthand the difficulty of not always having a space to share my experiences. Because of that, I strive to be a source of support where all my clients can feel comfortable, seen, and heard. During our sessions, I will take an empathetic, client-centered approach to build a strong therapeutic relationship while providing interventions that best meet your unique needs. Thank you for trusting me and I hope we can work together to support you the best way possible.
