Meet Our Professional Team

Hello! I’m Michelle, a Master of Occupational Therapy graduate, following my Bachelor of Kinesiology, both from the University of British Columbia.

I have experience working with children and youth across pediatric, educational, and community settings, including supporting children with neurodivergent and developmental needs. Through my clinical placements and work as a behaviour interventionist, tutor, and support worker, I have developed a holistic approach to supporting children’s participation, independence, and confidence in their everyday lives. My experience includes supporting fine and gross motor skills, executive functioning, sensory processing, emotional regulation, social-emotional development, and daily living skills.

I value building genuine connections with children and youth and creating an environment where they feel comfortable being themselves, understood, and supported. I strive to make therapy feel approachable and engaging, while helping children feel confident trying new things, developing new skills, and working toward their goals. I enjoy finding activities that are meaningful to each child and connecting therapy to the things that matter in their everyday lives.

Alongside my pediatric experience, I have also worked in mental health and acute settings with individuals across the lifespan. These experiences have shown me how different parts of a person’s life can influence how they learn, grow, and participate everyday. A child’s emotional well-being, relationships, environment, and individual strengths are all important pieces of their development. This has reinforced the importance of looking beyond individual skills and working collaboratively with children, families, and other professionals to understand what each child needs to feel supported and thrive.

Outside of occupational therapy, you’ll often find me playing ultimate frisbee, getting creative through different art forms, and spending time with family and friends. I’m also fluent in English and conversational in Cantonese!

Hi! I’m Tanvir, a Registered Occupational Therapist with a Master of Occupational Therapy from Curtin University in Australia and a Bachelor of Science with a Combined Major in Biology and Psychology from the University of Victoria.

My passion for working with children began long before becoming an occupational therapist. Through my experiences as a Behaviour Interventionist and Occupational Therapy Assistant, I had the opportunity to support children with autism and diverse developmental needs. These experiences sparked my interest in understanding how children learn, grow, and experience the world around them.

Throughout my career, I’ve gained experience in pediatric and community-based occupational therapy, supporting individuals with a wide range of physical, cognitive, emotional, developmental, and mental health needs. My clinical experiences have strengthened my passion for helping children build confidence, develop meaningful skills, and participate more fully in their everyday lives.

I believe therapy should be just as engaging as it is meaningful. My approach is playful, creative, and child-led, with a focus on building genuine connections and celebrating each child’s unique strengths. Whether we’re working on fine motor skills, sensory processing, emotional regulation, mental well-being, or everyday independence, I enjoy finding creative ways to make learning fun. I also value working closely with families to develop practical strategies that carry over into everyday life.

One of my favourite parts of being an occupational therapist is celebrating the little moments that lead to big milestones, whether it’s mastering a new skill, building confidence, or discovering new possibilities!

Hello! I’m Christine, an Education Assistant with experience supporting children in both elementary and secondary school settings.

I am passionate about working with children with diverse learning, behavioural, social-emotional, and communication needs, including children with Autism, ADHD, intellectual disabilities, and complex support needs. I enjoy getting to know each child, discovering their interests, and finding meaningful ways to help them build confidence, develop new skills, and become more independent in their everyday lives.

I believe every child has unique strengths and the potential to grow. My philosophy is, “If they can’t learn the way we teach, we teach the way they learn.” I also believe that behaviour is a form of communication and that children use it to express their needs. For this reason, I approach each child with patience, empathy, and understanding. I also value collaboration with families and other professionals to ensure each child feels supported and has opportunities to reach their full potential.

In addition to completing an Education Assistant program (REAP) - Richmond School District, I have pursued further training in autism and neurodiversity, child and youth mental health, social-emotional learning, and Nonviolent Crisis Intervention through UBC and POPARD.

Outside of work, I enjoy spending time with my family and exploring creative activities. I am fluent in English and Cantonese, and proficient in Mandarin.
