I am a Registered Psychologist with a PhD and MS in Clinical Psychology and over 12 years of experience providing psychological assessment and therapeutic intervention across the lifespan. I work with children, adolescents, adults, and older adults, supporting individuals experiencing a broad range of emotional, behavioural, and mental health concerns.
My professional experience includes comprehensive psychological assessments and evidence-based interventions for neurodevelopmental disorders, including Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), Intellectual Developmental Disorder (IDD), and Specific Learning Disorders. I also have extensive experience supporting individuals experiencing anxiety, depression, stress-related difficulties, emotional regulation challenges, and complex mental health presentations.
I am trained in Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and adopt a compassionate, client-centred, and evidence-based approach to psychological care. I believe in creating a safe, supportive, and collaborative therapeutic environment where clients feel heard, respected, and empowered to achieve meaningful change.
Throughout my career, I have worked across diverse clinical, educational, and community settings, providing assessment, intervention, psychoeducation, and therapeutic support to individuals and families from a wide range of cultural and social backgrounds. My goal is to help clients better understand their strengths and challenges, develop practical coping strategies, and enhance their overall wellbeing and quality of life.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.
