I feel lucky to have had academic, clinical, and research opportunities that have allowed me to grow as a doctoral student and inform how I approach both assessment and therapy! 

I’m currently in the process of completing my Doctor of Clinical Psychology training at Adler University in Vancouver, B.C. I previously earned my Honours Bachelor of Science with a specialization in Psychology from the University of Toronto.

During my undergraduate degree, I worked as a research assistant at the Toronto Early Cognitions Lab, exploring how young children learn and develop cognitively. I later worked at Sunnybrook Research Institute on clinical trials focused on treatment outcomes for anxiety, depression, and obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD). These early experiences in research helped provide a strong knowledge base for understanding what underlies cognitive and psychological processes, knowledge that has helped me both to explain concepts clearly to clients and to understand their experiences on a deeper level.

More recently, I completed a year-long practicum in psychological assessment, conducting comprehensive psychodiagnostic and psychoeducational evaluations for adolescents and adults. I have also recently received training in conducting assessments for autism spectrum disorder. I’m passionate about comprehensive assessments and have seen firsthand how supportive, accurate assessments can provide clarity, validation, and meaningful insight to guide treatment planning, educational supports, and personal well-being. I aim to highlight strengths, in addition to potential areas of difficulty, to support a well-rounded and compassionate understanding of each person I work with.
