I will apply evidence-based methods of Cognitive Behavioural Therapy to work with each client on an individualized approach helping them work towards their goals and overall well-being. I am passionate about helping people achieve wellness by providing mental health services to a population whose culture and language can be a barrier to the accessibility of services. I have been counseling and mentoring at-risk children and youth for over nine years. While also counseling immigrants and refugee families as an intercultural advisor. I chose to work at CMAP Health because of Dr. Rao and his diverse multidisciplinary team.
