I am a clinical psychology doctoral student (PsyD) at Adler University in Vancouver, British Columbia. I previously earned my Bachelor of Arts (Honours) of Psychology at the University of Manitoba, where I completed my thesis on the exclusion of sexual and gender minority individuals within psychological romantic relationship research and volunteered in the Self and Interpersonal Dynamics Lab. During this time, I also volunteered as a peer health educator through the Student Counselling Centre, providing emotional support and resources to students, and I worked as a sexual violence prevention workshop facilitator. Subsequently, I worked at a non-profit, which provided primary care, drop-in and longer-term counselling, acute and longer-term intimate partner violence and sexual violence care, transgender affirming care, holistic Indigenous care, and substance use/active addiction-related care.
I am currently completing my doctoral assessment practicum at the Community and Forensic Clinic, which is a pro bono clinical psychology clinic grounded in social justice, providing direct psycho-diagnostic and psycho-vocational assessment services to individuals who are among the most systemically marginalized in our society.
I am deeply committed to providing warm, empathetic care where clients feel seen and heard. I take a trauma-informed, person-centred approach. I love psychology, and supporting clients is fulfilling and an honour. Outside of school, I enjoy exercising and love taking walks to see the ocean and mountains.
