I am a doctoral clinical psychologist and I am currently accepting assessment and therapy clients. Using a CBT approach (and borrowing from other approaches as needed), I aim to provide you with empathic support while helping you build skills to make meaningful changes in your life and to maintain your wellbeing over time. I work with adults who have depression, generalized anxiety, social anxiety, trauma/PTSD, OCD, and/or executive dysfunction challenges that are impacting their relationships, academic, work, and general life functioning.
I am a warm, empathic, and respectful person who balances listening, asking questions, and goal-directed strategizing to build upon your strengths. My approach is collaborative and adaptive, changing as needed with your goals. I also provide assessments of emotional and social concerns to assist with diagnosis, treatment, and access to accommodation.
I want to support you in your next steps toward change and improving your mental health. More info about me and the therapy and assessment services I offer is available on my clinic (Inner Light Psychology) website. Please reach out to book a brief free consultation call. I look forward to working 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.
