I’m a registered psychologist with 18 years of experience helping adolescents and adults navigate life's challenges. My approach is grounded in a trauma-informed perspective, where I work to understand your unique background and history, and how these have shaped your present thoughts, emotions, and behaviours. I believe that by understanding the roots of our difficulties, we can begin to heal and make lasting change. I provide a compassionate, non-judgmental space for clients to explore their concerns.
I work with a wide range of issues, including anxiety, depression, grief, low self-esteem, work or school stress, family dynamics, and trauma — particularly childhood trauma. I have experience supporting individuals facing complex and high-risk challenges, including self-harm and emotional distress.
My approach blends evidence-based therapies, such as CBT, DBT, ACT, Schema Therapy, and a strengths-based perspective. Whether you’re dealing with life’s challenges, seeking personal growth, or exploring your emotional history, I’m here to offer support, insight, and guidance.
