"I have always been interested in people and have a great curiosity to know how their thought process.  As a clinical psychologist, I get to help people understand themselves and their concerns from a holistic point of view.   I also get to support patients with mental health concerns overcome their challenges and find meaning in their lives.  Every encounter with a different patient gets me one step closer to a rich variety of experiences and enriching learning opportunities. 

It is a great joy to bump into patients who have been discharged from therapy and doing well in their lives.  I feel honoured to have been a part of their journey of self-discovery, and to have helped bring them closer to accepting, loving and being kind to themselves and others."
