I am the Co-Founder and the Director of Clinical Practice of KAAFI INTEGRATIVE HEALTH. I am also a Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying) with MS in Mental Health Counselling and a doctorate in Educational Leadership.

I have over 20 years of diverse experience in mental health and education. During this time, I have had the honour and privilege to serve in various leadership roles in the public and private sectors, including providing leadership for the development and implementation of mental health equity, diversity and inclusive educational practices and the design of a psycho-educational curriculum to enhance resilience and healing.

I am passionate about promoting mental health and wellness and emphasizing the uniqueness of each individual, couple and family and their potential for growth and transformation. My professional focus has been and continues to be on strengths-based services and personal and community transformations. I am committed to strengthening relationships that facilitate healthy and transformative life for individuals, couples, families, and communities. This commitment has been shaped by my own family’s devastating refugee experiences. My family’s lived experiences have afforded me a deep appreciation of the impact of trauma on individuals, family relations and communities.

My clinical approach builds on resilience within individuals, couples, families, and communities, focusing on more profound and lasting healing. My personal and professional interest in positive psychology and personal transformations make me an advocate for accessible mental health services for ALL and for creating inclusive and healing spaces in our communities.
