As an international student and a first-generation immigrant, I have firsthand experience with the struggles and challenges of the BIPOC community. I am dedicated to creating a safe space and supporting each client’s unique therapeutic journeys through a person-centred, culturally sensitive, and strength-based approach.
With a Bachelor’s in Psychology from the University of British Columbia and a Master’s in counselling from City University, I have gained a deep understanding of human behaviour and mental health. I have worked extensively with vulnerable youth, newcomers, children, families, and the BIPOC community, providing one-on-one support and guidance in a safe and non-judgmental environment.
As a compassionate intern counsellor, my focus is on understanding the experiences of individuals and couples and fostering a space where everyone feels genuinely heard and valued. I am keen to be a source of support along your journey to personal growth and well-being.
With a deep sense of empathy and effective communication skills, I’m committed to empowering and guiding clients as they navigate the complexities of life and work toward a brighter future.

Depending on your concerns, goals, and needs, I utilize a variety of clinical approaches and techniques to assist you. Including but not limited to:
The focus of person-centred therapy is always on you and not on any diagnosis or categorization. As a Clinical Counsellor, I provide a climate conducive to personal growth and change. Through empathy and trust, our relationship will be productive, genuine, and non-judgemental. Together, we explore your thoughts and feelings, positive or negative, without the risk of rejection or judgement.
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) focuses on the way you think (cognitive) and act (behavioural). CBT helps you to identify the relationship between your thoughts and your feelings. By making small changes to the way you think, you can ultimately change the way you feel.
A key component to solution focused therapy is helping you identify your strengths, resources and problem-solving skills. Together we can discover solutions that build on what you are already good at. We will utilize your existing strengths and skills as a basis for problem-solving and growth.
Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT) helps people to improve and regulate their emotions, create more tolerance of distress and teach the person to be more mindful and present while improving communication and the ability to interact with others.
Multicultural therapy is a form of talk therapy that aims to address the concerns of clients whose race, ethnicity, religion, gender identity, sexual orientation, income, disability status, or other social factor(s) falls outside of the majority or outside the dominant social group. The approach centers on the idea that demographic factors such as race, ethnicity, and gender identity play a critical role in how someone experiences the world and relates to others, and attempts to factor those realities into their treatment.
