As a dedicated psychologist with a diverse background supporting individuals across the lifespan, including Veterans, injured workers, adolescents, and those with TBIs, my relaxed, personable demeanour quickly fosters warmth, safety, and trust - an absolute must when people are at their most vulnerable. I adopt a person-centered, trauma-informed, neurodiversity-affirming approach, offering compassionate, tailored care. My treatment is guided by evidence-based therapies including CBT, EMDR, DBT, ACT, Schema Therapy, Solutions Focused Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, and MBSR.
I feel privileged to connect with trauma survivors, neurodivergent individuals, and those with attachment injuries, valuing safety and consistency in therapy to explore past trauma and address current challenges. My lived experience as a parent and former secondary school teacher also offers valuable insight to best understand and support families.
I place great value on the collaborative therapeutic relationship as a key driver of change. I respect each client’s autonomy and work within agreed boundaries, approaching each session with curiosity, empathy, and acceptance to help clients achieve their goals.
