Hello, my name is Saba. Thank you for taking a moment to learn more about me!

I am currently an Honours Psychology student at York University with a strong passion for mental health, clinical psychology, and supporting individuals through compassionate and evidence-based care. My long-term goal is to become a clinical psychologist, where I hope to help individuals navigate mental health challenges, build resilience, and improve their overall well-being.

Through both academic and hands-on experiences, I have developed a growing understanding of human behaviour, psychological research, and client-centred support. I have experience working within psychology research settings, where I have contributed to literature reviews, data collection, and projects related to mental health and psychological well-being. These experiences have strengthened my interest in clinical research and deepened my appreciation for evidence-based approaches to mental health care.

In addition to my research experience, I previously worked as an ABA Instructor Therapist, where I provided behavioural therapy to children with autism and collaborated closely with families and clinical supervisors. I have also volunteered as a Crisis Responder with Kids Help Phone, where I supported individuals experiencing emotional distress by providing empathetic, compassionate, and non-judgmental support. These experiences have helped me develop strong interpersonal, communication, and problem-solving skills while reinforcing the importance of empathy, patience, and individualized care within therapeutic settings.

I am passionate about continuing to grow within the field of psychology through both clinical and research experiences. I value creating supportive and welcoming environments for others, and I hope to contribute positively to the lives of individuals seeking mental health support.
