I wear many hats professionally. I am an MD, MACP, RP (q), a Clinical Researcher, a Project Management Professional, a Professor at George Brown College, I have had over 14 years of experience instructing at UofT and I am a family oriented female.

I am also a published author of a few medical research publications featured in the most prestigious medical journals. My research has been published in the Journal of American College of Cardiology, International Diabetes Federation and the Journal of European Society of Cardiology.

I also conducts my own mental health workshops which speak about stress management, relationship management, good communication skills and Applied Suicide Interventions Skills training (ASIST). ASIST is a very powerful workshop that allows for anybody who gets certified in it to be able to do suicide first aid. Just like CPR certification is common within our general public and communities, there is a need for suicide first aid to be common as well.

I have conducted the ASIST program at the Centre for Deen Studies and have delivered a workshop in spiritual counseling and mental health by Dr. Hamid Slimi.

I aim to build a stronger community through my compassion to educate and bring awareness to mental health.

Counselling Psychology is a pivot in career for me. I have had an extensive 20-year career as a corporate professional working for large organizations in Sales and Marketing and had the immense pleasure to lead high performing teams. This experience has taught me that leading, coaching and mentoring became the part of my job that I enjoyed the most. As I leaned into my leadership journey, it was clear that mental wellness and overall health of an individual was very much linked to performance and productivity and overall wellbeing. And because of that, I showed up differently for my team and for myself. To be an effective leader, coupled with my curiosity and quest to continue learning about mental health, a new journey started for me. One that allowed me think outside of my business focused education and experience in corporate and pivot to a career that is both fascinating and fulfilling to me. I am a client centered therapist.

Life doesn’t always happen the way we expected it to. At these moments it can be easy to feel discouraged or anxious, but you don’t have to continue to feel this way and struggle alone. There are mental health therapists that can help.

A desire to help people in a more defined personal way led me to complete my Master of Arts in Counselling Psychology from Yorkville University. I also hold a Bachelor of Science (Psychology) from the University of Prince Edward Island. Currently, I am qualifying as a Registered Psychotherapist with the College of Registered Psychotherapists of Ontario.

I work with anxiety, life transitions, boundaries, trauma, family conflict, parenting difficulties, relationship issues, as well as many other challenges. You will leave the counselling session feeling support and trust. Together we will begin to establish a healthy, safe, and bright future.
