As an intern-level therapist currently pursuing my master's in Counseling Psychology from the University of Yorkville, my journey began in September 2022 after completing my bachelor's degree in Science from the University of Calgary. My academic background has instilled in me a rigorous analytical approach, which I actively integrate into my therapeutic work.

My passion lies in aiding immigrants, teenagers, and young adults adapting to new environments, drawn from real-world experience and a deep empathetic nature.

In my practice, I employ a diverse range of therapeutic modalities including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Narrative Therapy, Adlerian Therapy, Strength-Based Therapy, and Emotion-Focused Therapy. This eclectic approach allows me to tailor interventions to the unique needs of each client, empowering them to explore their narratives, uncover strengths, and navigate emotional landscapes with resilience.

With dedication to holistic healing and unwavering compassion, I embark on my journey as a counselor, aiming to be welcoming and supportive of every individual's needs.
