I am a warm, empathic Psychologist with over 15-years of clinical experience in assessment and psychotherapy. I am passionate about my work and care deeply for my clients and their well-being. I offer a compassionate and collaborative therapeutic approach to help you address your areas of concern by setting achievable goals and implementing strategies that promote acceptance, healing, resilience, personal growth, and overall well-being. I practice Cognitive-Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and integrate elements of Psychodynamic Therapy, Mindfulness Therapy, Narrative Therapy, Solution-Focused Therapy, Experiential Therapy, Dialectical Behavioural Therapy (DBT), and Humanistic Therapy orientations. I also have trained in Behavioural Sleep Medicine and Cognitive-Behavioural Therapy for Insomnia (CBT-I).
