Along with helping clients with issues such as stress, anxiety, depression, substance use and other mental health challenges, much of our therapy work falls into 1 of 5 areas: Parenting Support and Child/Adolescent Therapy • Men's Issues & Mental/Emotional Health • Relationship Health • Career transition and work-related counselling • Separation and Divorce.
Let's face it, life can feel unbearable at times and relationships and parenting are emotionally taxing. If you're reading this and this is your first time working with a psychologist, this is likely not a high moment for you. Rarely do clients start a session with, "My life is great! Things couldn't be better!" The reality is you're struggling, feeling lost and in pain, things are not going well for you or someone you care about, and we have entered the picture somewhere along the way. That you trust a therapist or anyone else enough to connect with you in that struggle is tough to do, and a responsibility we do not take lightly.

While today, I counsel and consult with professionals around talent development, motivation, and strategy, most of my life I have felt the emotional pangs of parental enmeshment and death, insurmountable bodily anxiety, and perfectionistic conflict around who I am, and who I’ve wanted to be. Chasing that feeling of being "good enough". As I grew, I became adept at intellectualizing my experience, identifying patterns, and developing my self-concept. However, I struggled to safely process the associated emotions, attachment wounds, and repattern how I conceived my internal world and received others. I didn't even know where to start.

It is my belief that people have the strengths and abilities to navigate through life's challenges. The question is, "How do you use what you already have to meet life's challenges?" I work with individuals, groups, families, teams, and organizations collaboratively towards shared goals and outcomes that are rooted in evidence-based practices. Sessions are interactive, transparent, and optimistic. An eclectic approach rooted in Individual Psychology and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy offers the versatility for a culturally sensitive, non-judgmental, and an efficient working relationship.

As a registered psychologist and having been in private practice for 14 years, I have had the privilege to meet and work with many wonderful couples, families and individuals. I strive to establish a solid rapport with clients in a comfortable environment. I have been told that clients appreciate my professional and direct approach that is not overly formal and allows for humour when appropriate. I use a biopsychosocial approach and incorporate several therapeutic modalities. I work to not only focus on managing symptoms, but getting down to the root cause of what is getting in the way of being able to achieve one’s goals.
