I work well with clients who are navigating complex or painful relationship dynamics — whether within families, friendships, or romantic partnerships. Together, we explore patterns of communication, boundaries, attachment, and unmet needs to foster greater clarity and emotional safety. My approach is warm, reflective, and grounded in curiosity — creating a space where you can better understand yourself in relation to others, heal from relational wounds, and build connections that feel more authentic and balanced.

My clients range from those with relatively non-complicated daily issues to those suffering from significant trauma, depressed mood, or other concerns. I also have clients who would simply like to investigate their inner world and identify their strengths or areas for change. My philosophy is that although sometimes an impetus for change may come externally, it is always in an individual's control on how they may want to negotiate changing circumstances.

I enjoy working with people on a variety of struggles, including anxiety, depression, work-related stresses, acculturation concerns, bicultural identity development, and communication difficulties. I am particularly interested in working with people who straddle more than one culture, feel overwhelmed by differing expectations, or struggle to bridge cultural or generational differences in their relationships.

There are moments in everyone's life when the familiar falls away: a sudden loss, a serious medical diagnosis, a crisis of conscience, or the quiet realization that old answers no longer fit. During such times, it's common to feel disoriented, weighed down, or to sense a strong pull toward something more meaningful. These turning points are not detours, but invitations to look more closely at the deeper currents of your existence and to consider who you are and who you might still become.

I am particularly interested in supporting second-generation Canadians navigating mental health concerns such as trauma, anxiety, depression, burnout, and addiction, within the context of cultural identity and family expectations. My background in crisis response, peer support, and community mental health initiatives has strengthened my belief in the healing power of authentic connection and the transformative potential of a collaborative therapeutic relationship.

Life’s challenges, both expected and unexpected, can sometimes leave us feeling stressed or overwhelmed. In therapy, I work with clients to identify what’s contributing to these difficulties and to build skills that support meaningful, practical change. A key part of this work often involves understanding how thoughts, emotions, and behaviours interact, recognizing unhelpful patterns, and developing effective coping strategies. We also work on taking constructive action, even when discomfort is present, so that you can respond to challenges with greater flexibility and confidence.

If you work in vet med, you know that caring deeply can come at a cost. I work extensively (though not exclusively) with veterinarians, RVTs, assistants, and other animal care professionals experiencing compassion fatigue, burnout, moral distress, grief, or perfectionism. Together, we'll create a space where you can set down the emotional weight, reconnect with yourself, and rediscover balance and purpose. You don't have to filter yourself here—bring the tears, frustration, dark humour, or hope. You'll be met with empathy, respect, and never judgment.
I also offer formal assessment for adult ADHD and psychosocial interventions.

What can a geriatric psychologist help with?
Geriatric therapists specialise in the cognitive and neurological challenges that often accompany aging, including dementia, memory loss, and age-related cognitive decline. They also address the psychological conditions that frequently co-occur with these issues, such as depression, anxiety, and grief. Geriatric therapists and psychologists are trained to assess cognitive functioning, identify symptoms that may warrant further evaluation, and conduct or refer for formal neurological assessment when needed. In many cases, geriatric therapists also work closely with medical doctors to manage a client's overall health, and they may support caregivers and family members navigating the demands of caring for an aging loved one.
Why might someone seek a geriatric psychologist?
Someone might seek a geriatric therapist when they or a loved one begins experiencing cognitive or neurological changes and is unsure whether those changes are a normal part of aging or something that requires clinical attention. A geriatric therapist can help connect families with appropriate next steps. They are also commonly sought following a new diagnosis, when clients and families are working to understand what that diagnosis means practically and emotionally, and what to expect as a condition progresses. When seeking a therapist, it can be helpful to consider whether a clinician with a stronger psychotherapy focus or one with more of a social work orientation, who can help connect clients with assisted living or medical resources, would be the better fit.
What type of therapy might a geriatric therapists specialise in?
Geriatric therapist often combine psychotherapy with psychoeducation, helping clients and their families understand cognitive and neurological conditions and what to expect as they progress. For clients experiencing anxiety or depression alongside cognitive decline, therapists may draw on Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) or mindfulness-based approaches. For clients with dementia specifically, therapists may be trained in specialised modalities such as Cognitive Stimulation Therapy (CST), which is designed to preserve cognitive functioning.
Can geriatric psychologists help people who suffer from dementia?
Yes, and this is a core area of geriatric psychology. Therapists specialising in dementia can work directly with clients on memory loss and cognitive functioning, while also addressing conditions that commonly co-occur, such as depression and anxiety. They can provide caregivers with objective assessments of a client's functioning and disease progression, and are typically well-versed in community resources available to dementia patients and their families.
