My website
I am a registered doctoral clinical psychologist. I provide diagnostic assessments and therapy. My therapy approach is collaborative, changing as needed to help you meet your goals. For assessment and therapy, I work with adults with mood, anxiety, stress, trauma, obsessions-compulsions, and/or executive functioning concerns that are impacting their relationships, academic, work, and general life functioning. I am a warm, empathic, and respectful psychologist who is action-oriented, focused on helping clients build skills, resilience, and self-compassion.
I provide diagnostic assessments of emotional and social concerns to assist treatment planning (therapy, medication) and accommodation. In therapy, using a Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) approach, I provide empathic, nonjudgmental support while helping you build skills to make meaningful changes in your life and to maintain your wellbeing over time.
Change is possible and it is hard to do alone. I want to help you achieve the change you seek and develop skills to help you maintain your wellbeing. More information is available on my clinic (Inner Light Psychology) website. Email me to book a brief free consultation call. I look forward to speaking with you.

In our 1st session I focus on understanding your challenges and developing goals and treatment plans together. Often, we will start by building coping skills to manage your symptoms. As sessions progress, we will focus on understanding, challenging, and changing the beliefs and behaviours underlying your emotional, relationship, and/or work/school difficulties, aiming to create lasting change.
