My journey since graduating from Yorkville University has been one of growth, purpose, and innovation. The education and training I received laid the foundation for a career dedicated to improving mental health care, while exploring new ways to expand access to support services.
.
After graduating from Yorkville University, I have continued to expand my professional practice through advanced training in a range of evidence-based therapeutic approaches. My ongoing professional development includes specialized training in occupational trauma response and return-to-work rehabilitation, family systems therapy, grief and loss counselling, and pastoral counselling. I have also received training in traumatic loss facilitation, Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT), and multiple cognitive-behavioral modalities, including CBT-Mastery (CBTM), Cognitive-Behavioral Conjoint Therapy (CBCT) for PTSD, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Suicide Prevention (CBT-SP), and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Insomnia (CBT-I).
.
Today, I am proud to work as a Clinical Counsellor, supporting individuals in navigating life’s challenges and strengthening their emotional well-being. At the same time, I have also stepped into the role of healthcare innovator and entrepreneur, helping develop solutions that extend the reach of mental health services beyond traditional settings.
.
A Career Rooted in Compassionate Care
.
As a clinical counsellor, my work focuses on creating safe and supportive spaces where individuals can openly explore their thoughts, emotions, and life experiences. Every client’s journey is unique, and my role is to guide them toward resilience, self-awareness, and personal growth.
.
Yorkville’s emphasis on practical skills, ethical practice, and client-centered care has been instrumental in shaping my counselling approach. These values continue to guide my work every day.
.
Advancing Mental Health Through Innovation
.
In addition to clinical practice, I am the Co-Founder of TEN31Healthcare, a platform created to enhance the way mental health services are delivered.
.
TEN31Healthcare was born out of a simple but powerful idea: mental health care should be more accessible, efficient, and integrated with modern technology. Through this initiative, we aim to bridge the gap between healthcare providers and individuals seeking support by developing solutions that improve accessibility, coordination, and continuity of care.
.
Innovation in healthcare is not just about technology – it’s about creating systems that empower both clinicians and clients. TEN31Healthcare represents our commitment to building tools and platforms that support the evolving needs of mental health professionals and the British Columbia workforce we serve.
.
Serving British Columbia Workforce Through Counselling
.
Alongside my work in healthcare innovation, I continue to provide counselling services through Vapendama Counseling Services, where I support individuals with occupational injuries by offering mental health care.
.
Working directly with clients keeps me grounded in the real-world needs of the British Columbia workforce we serve and stakeholders. It also informs the solutions we build through TEN31Healthcare, ensuring that innovation remains connected to practical clinical realities.
.
The Impact of Yorkville University
.
Reflecting on my journey, Yorkville University played a critical role in shaping my professional identity. The program provided not only academic knowledge, but also the confidence and skills needed to pursue meaningful work in the mental health field.
.
The transition from student to counsellor, and eventually to healthcare entrepreneur, has been an exciting and rewarding journey. Yorkville University’s strong foundation in counselling education continues to influence how I approach both clinical work and healthcare innovation.
.
Along the way, we have built a growing counselling practice alongside my colleagues, many of whom are Yorkville University alumni and outstanding, reputable practitioners. These dedicated professionals bring compassion, expertise, and integrity to their work, and together we continue to make meaningful contributions to the British Columbia workforce we serve.
.
Looking Ahead
.
The future of mental health care will require collaboration, innovation, and a continued commitment to compassionate care. My goal is to contribute to this evolving landscape by combining clinical expertise with forward-thinking solutions that expand access to mental health support.
.
Recognizing the growing gap between traditional therapeutic practice and the rapid advancement of technology, I initiated the development of TEN31Healthcare as a way to bridge that divide. The platform was created to support mental health professionals with tools for clinical documentation, assessments, progress tracking, and supervision workflows, while preserving the human-centered values that are fundamental to effective counselling.
.
Through initiatives like TEN31Healthcare, I hope to contribute to a future where technology thoughtfully supports clinicians, enhances quality of care, and ultimately improves outcomes for the individuals and British Columbia workforce we serve.

Key Features of TEN31Healthcare:
.
Pay Only When You Use It
.
At TEN31Healthcare, we believe mental health professionals should have access to powerful clinical tools without being locked into costly subscription models. That’s why our platform operates on a “pay only when you use it” approach.
.
Instead of monthly fees, providers only pay when they actively use the system for completed counselling sessions. This flexible model allows therapists, and clinics to access essential features – such as clinical documentation, assessments, progress tracking, and case management – without worrying about unused subscriptions or hidden costs.
.
By aligning costs with real usage, TEN31Healthcare supports practitioners in growing their practices at their own pace while maintaining full control over their operational expenses.
.
Our goal is simple: provide value, transparency, and freedom for mental health professionals who want technology that works with them—not against them.
.
TEN31Healthcare makes it simple for providers to start and manage their practice in just a few steps. First, clinicians create their account and set up their profile. Next, they add clients or import existing client data to begin organizing their practice. Providers can then log sessions, send assessments, and track client progress through the platform. Finally, the dashboard provides clear insights and metrics, helping clinicians monitor outcomes and manage their work efficiently—all while paying only when the system is actively used.
.
Smart Session Scheduling and Progress Tracking
.
TEN31Healthcare simplifies how counselling sessions are scheduled, tracked, and managed throughout the therapeutic process. With the Session Schedule Manager, practitioners can easily organize upcoming sessions, monitor attendance, and maintain accurate records of each appointment.
.
The system allows counsellors to update session dates, mark attendance as Show or No-Show, and automatically calculate session-related financial details such as service totals, tax, and counsellor revenue distribution. This ensures both clinical and administrative workflows remain organized and transparent.
.
In addition, practitioners can seamlessly attach clinical assessments, session notes, and therapeutic homework directly to scheduled sessions. This helps maintain continuity of care and allows counsellors to track client progress across the entire treatment plan.
.
By bringing scheduling, documentation, and progress monitoring into one place, TEN31Healthcare enables mental health professionals to spend less time managing logistics and more time focusing on delivering meaningful care to their clients.
.
Integrated Homework, Assessments, and Clinical Reporting
.
TEN31Healthcare provides counsellors with a centralized dashboard to manage client homework, therapeutic assessments, and clinical reports in one secure location. This feature allows practitioners to assign structured treatment tools, track completion timelines, and maintain organized records of each client’s therapeutic progress.
.
Through the Homework and Assessment Tools section, counsellors can assign evidence-informed therapeutic exercises, intake forms, and assessments directly to clients. Each assignment is tracked with clear due dates and linked to the client’s session history, helping clinicians monitor engagement and progress throughout the treatment process.
.
The Reports module complements this by automatically generating structured clinical reports, such as session summaries and outcome tracking documents. Practitioners can easily review report status, monitor due dates, and download documentation when needed for clinical review, supervision, or institutional requirements.
.
By combining homework assignments, assessment tools, and reporting capabilities within a single dashboard, TEN31Healthcare supports a more structured, transparent, and measurable approach to mental health care, allowing clinicians to focus on therapeutic outcomes while maintaining organized and compliant records.
.
Digital Therapeutic Homework for Continuous Client Engagement
.
TEN31Healthcare enables counsellors to extend therapeutic work beyond the session through structured digital homework assignments. This feature allows clinicians to assign evidence-informed exercises directly to clients, helping reinforce therapeutic concepts and encourage reflection between sessions.
.
When a homework assignment is created, the client receives a secure notification with clear instructions and a direct link to access the activity. Counsellors can assign tools such as reflection logs, behavioral exercises, skill-building worksheets, and therapeutic tracking activities tailored to the client’s treatment plan.
.
Each assignment is connected to the client’s case file, allowing practitioners to review responses, monitor engagement, and integrate the results into ongoing sessions. This helps create continuity between appointments while providing measurable insight into the client’s progress.
.
By integrating therapeutic homework into the care workflow, TEN31Healthcare supports a more collaborative and active treatment process, empowering clients to practice new skills while giving clinicians valuable feedback to guide future sessions.
.
Visualizing Client Progress Through Assessment Comparison
.
TEN31Healthcare provides clinicians with powerful tools to measure and visualize client progress over time. Through the Assessment Comparison Report, counsellors can easily compare results from multiple assessment periods, helping identify meaningful changes across key areas of a client’s life.
.
The system automatically generates clear visual charts that highlight differences between assessments—such as improvements or challenges in areas like relationships, family dynamics, work, parenting, education, and self-care. This visual representation allows clinicians to quickly interpret patterns and discuss progress with clients in a more engaging and understandable way.
.
By transforming assessment data into intuitive visual insights, TEN31Healthcare supports evidence-informed clinical decision-making. Counsellors can use these comparisons to refine treatment plans, reinforce positive progress, and identify areas that may require additional therapeutic focus.
.
Ultimately, this feature strengthens outcome-based care by making client progress measurable, transparent, and easier to communicate, both within therapy sessions and in clinical reporting.
