ACCEPTING NEW CLIENTS

 

Supporting and guiding students has always been a passion of mine. I love witnessing when students start seeing themselves in the way I see them. I love being able to work with students and help them regain control and confidence to achieve their personal, professional, and academic short-term and long-term goals.

 

Although I am a third-generation teacher on my maternal side of the family, I am also a first-generation graduate student, completing my master's in education on my paternal side. Being a first-generation South Asian Canadian female, I know what it feels like to feel confused about my place and role in certain social settings. However, with over 6 years of peer-mentoring student athletes, 5 years of private tutoring, and 2 years of teaching experience, my goal as an educator is always to make meaningful relationships with students by understanding who they are and where they come from based on their intersectional identity and positionality.

 

I know what it's like to not be seen or heard and what it feels like to be brushed aside because in certain places my personal, professional, and academic identity was not understood. That is why I believe that making these relationships is vital in order for me to truly help students with their goals, rather than seeing them as just a number.

 

I aim to always foster culturally responsive and reflective work that can create a safe space to allow students to advocate for themselves and take control of their personal, professional, and academic lives. Some fun facts about me: I was once an athlete myself (specifically, I played rugby and basketball). I am also an extreme foodie and I love cooking new recipes and trying out new restaurants—wherever there is food, I am there!

ACCEPTING NEW CLIENTS

I'm passionate about supporting and destigmatizing the way people view and experience neurodivergence. My primary goals as a coach are to empower folks to recognize their intrinsic worth and build systems together to address the rest. I believe that everyone is sovereign and worthy of meaningful support, compassion, and respect.

 

I have a diverse background in supporting and advocating for children, youth, and families from varied levels of intersecting experiences and systemic marginalization. Should we walk this path together, you can expect to be treated with unconditional acceptance, patience, and understanding.(ethical non-monogamy & polyamorous/polyam relationships welcomed)

ACCEPTING NEW CLIENTS 

As a non-binary AuDHDer and a member of a large, queer, neurodivergent family, my lived experience has made me passionate about supporting wonderful weirdos like me. Growing up, my house was always the place my friends came when they were questioning their identities and needed a safer space to talk to someone who had shared struggles and gotten through them. My goal is to provide that same space for you, as a peer mentor, a creative solutions-maker, and an empathetic ear!


My passion for creating safe and growth-focused spaces has also led me to a 10+ year career caring for neurodivergent kids, working with individuals and families to find creative solutions to unique problems, and encouraging resilience and self-expression at any age.


I strive to foster an environment that is trauma-informed, feminist, anti-oppression and collaborative. I strongly believe in the power of building community and asking "How do we navigate the relationship between our needs, our world, and making the most of resources available to us?"


My special interests include: gender & neurodivergence, child development and teaching self-advocacy, and the nervous system functions of ADHD and Autism.


I'm excited to meet you and find out how I can best be a support in your life!

NOT ACCEPTING NEW CLIENTS

I am dedicated to supporting individuals in achieving their goals through personalized, strength-based pathways. My passion lies in creating safe, proactive environments that empower individuals to grow personally and professionally at their own pace. I take a trauma-informed approach to my work, ensuring that each person’s unique history, experiences, and learning styles are central to the support I provide.

Throughout my academic and professional career, I have worked extensively with children, families, and adults across therapeutic and educational settings, fostering their growth and witnessing their success. My years of experience have been grounded in a commitment to equity, compassion, and individualized care.

Currently, my doctoral research is rooted in philosophy and ethics, exploring the intersections of difficulty, trauma, and selfhood within educational settings. This work informs my practice, allowing me to tailor approaches that respect and honor the complexity of each person’s journey.

My ultimate goal is to guide individuals in exceeding their ambitions while fostering resilience, growth, and a sense of agency.
