Are you hoping to get to the bottom of your symptoms and struggles? Be it depression, anxiety, traumatic experiences that continues to impact you, chronic pain, we can team up to make the enduring changes that you have been hoping for.

During my various training experiences within the clinical psychology program, I developed invaluable assessment and therapy skills under the supervision of registered psychologists. I have utilized skills from multiple therapy modalities, including Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Unified Protocol (UP), Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT), and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT). But most importantly, I take a collaborative approach in treatment to really get to know you in a way that will help you identify and change behavioural patterns to achieve meaningful life changes.

Currently, I am completing my doctoral practicum placement at the Dynamic Psychotherapy & Psychology Centre under the supervision of Dr. Karen Dinsmore. Here, I receive in-depth training in working from a psychodynamic and emotion-focused framework to help you address the underlying internal emotional causes to your problems.

In addition to self-referred clients, I also work with veterans referred by Veterans Affairs Canada (VAC) and workers referred by WSIB.
