Whether the difficulty is with a relationship at home, at work or elsewhere, I will help guide you to the realization that you have unlimited inner strength. You are the author of your experience and are therefore capable of viewing this situation and the people within it from a different vantage. I do this through various processes that, at their core, will lead you to a state of forgiveness, connection, and peace.
Before immigrating to Canada, I had been a medical doctor in two countries for over ten years. Regardless of the circumstances of time and place, the psychological well-being of my clients has always been a priority to me. Throughout my life journey, I have had a passion for working with psychological as well as psychiatric conditions. Moreover, I have always believed that it is crucial for therapists to work on their own issues and understand themselves prior to helping others. Thus, I have constantly been working on myself both professionally and personally.
As such, for me becoming a psychotherapist in Canada seems to be a natural continuation of my health care professional's career. I graduated from City University of Seattle (Vancouver Campus) with the Master's Degree in Counselling.
