About Me

I am a member of the College of Psychologists of Ontario. I operate my private practice in the Greater Toronto Area. I have more than 30 years of experience helping individuals, couples, and families with a variety of psychosocial and emotional issues. I have expertise in working with individuals experiencing emotional and psychological issues as the result of MVA, WSIB claims, and exposure to other traumatic situations in their lives. I have a deep understanding of diversity and multicultural issues.

I have obtained my doctorate in Psychology from the University of Toronto, two Master’s degrees, and a postgraduate specialization in Clinical Psychology. I have extensive experience in the assessment, diagnosis and treatment of psychiatric disorders related to MVA. Additionally, I have experienced in providing Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Solution Focused Therapy, Guided Imagery, Emotion Focused Therapy, Gestalt Therapy, and EMDR within a diverse and multicultural counselling framework. I have also consulted widely with insurance and disability companies, lawyers and the medical profession.

In addition to working in a private practice, I have extensive experience working in the non-profit, community-based sector and has an in-depth understanding of working with diverse, newcomer, and immigrant populations. I have participated in various research projects, and my articles have also been published in professional journals. My book Abnormal Psychology has been recommended for graduate studies. I have recently co-edited book Asian Families in Canada and the United States: Implication for Mental Health and Well-Being which closely analyzes Asian Canadian and Asian American immigrant families in an integrated yet nuanced way. This book is also recommended for post-graduate academic studies and for enhancing knowledge and understanding of immigration and mental health inter-relationships.
