Meet Harkish
Welcome
My name is Harkish (rhymes with wish)
Hi, my name is Harkish! I have a Master of Counselling degree from City University of Seattle and a strong foundation in neuropsychological assessment and community-based support.
I support children and youth through psychoeducational assessments that help families better understand how their child learns, thinks, and experiences the world. I take the time to recognize each child’s unique strengths alongside their challenges. My goal is to give families clear, practical recommendations that support children’s learning and everyday lives.
My experience working with children has strengthened my communication, patience, and relationship-building skills. Through my work with Big Brothers Big Sisters and Taking Strides, I learned the importance of creating a safe, supportive environment where children feel heard, while recognizing their individual needs.
Outside of work, I’m passionate about sports, including volleyball, badminton, taekwondo, boxing, and snowboarding. Staying active has always been important to me, and I value the camaraderie these sports build.
I look forward to meeting you!
