What I'm looking for

I seek client-focused roles using evidence-based psychotherapy within collaborative teams, opportunities for community impact, research integration, and professional growth.

I am a Registered Social Worker and psychotherapist with clinical experience across hospital, community, and private practice settings, committed to equity and patient-centered care. I deliver evidence-based psychotherapy using CBT, ACT, and trauma-informed approaches to support recovery, mental health, and well-being.

My background includes hospital-based stroke rehabilitation, community development, research coordination on newcomer settlement, and private practice psychotherapy where I conduct comprehensive biopsychosocial and risk assessments, create treatment plans, and maintain standards-compliant clinical documentation.

I have led community engagement and program planning initiatives, managed a significant research grant, and completed professional trainings in addiction counseling, palliative care, and trafficking survivor advocacy—bringing interprofessional collaboration and an outcomes-focused ethos to client care.
