I provide comprehensive neuropsychological assessment services to adults (17 and over).

I treat patients with symptoms due to brain issues like traumatic brain injury, PTSD, phobias, and eating disorders.
If you suffer from insomnia, mood or behaviour disorders, concussion, or memory loss, I can usually help. Book online a one hour history taking and LORETA brain assessment (low resolution electromagnetic tomography - i.e. 3D electrical imaging) that we will review together. I will send your a typed consult. Most problems can be treated with 10 sessions of 40 minutes of brain training, vagus nerve stimulation, counselling, and occasionally Transcranial Electrical Stimulation. Most people require only 10 treatment sessions by me, so my treatment is usually faster and less expensive.

I have experience working with anxiety, grief, Traumatic Brain Injury ( TBI), self-esteem, burnout, and caregiver burnout.
As a counsellor I collaborate with every client to understand the power of their story and for my clients to feel heard and honoured. I view counselling as a place for individuals to explore talk therapy alongside expressive arts to create space for understanding parts of themselves that at times can be hard to put words to. My approach in the counselling space is holistic, strengths-based, creative, and highly collaborative.

Life can feel overwhelming as we're caught in the same cycles, but also exhausting as sometimes life just seems to happen to us. I believe clients are the experts of their own lives as no one has walked more in your footsteps, than you. While you might have access to all of this information, it can be tricky to navigate it by yourself. As a Registered Clinical Counsellor, I'm excited to learn about you and your experiences as we reflect on the various intersecting factors of your life. My therapeutic foundation that facilitates this process is a blend of Emotion-focussed, Solution-focussed, and Somatic therapies.

I hold a particular passion for the TBI community and healthcare professionals.
You might look like you’re holding it together on the outside, but inside feel overwhelmed, disconnected, or exhausted. Maybe you’ve been through experiences that still live in your body (tightness, anxiety, numbness) even after years of trying to “talk it through.”
You may be navigating trauma, chronic stress, migration, illness, or systems that were never built with you in mind. You want more than coping strategies and you want to feel safer in your body, more present in your relationships, and less controlled by the past. I work especially well with adults who haven’t found relief in traditional talk therapy.

Your current circumstances don't dictate where you'll end up. They serve as a starting point for change. We all have the potential to move forward, sometimes having support is the key to getting there. My counselling approach is collaborative and straightforward with a touch of humour. Using a blend of your personal experiences and life context with evidence-based practices such as eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR), dialectical behaviour therapy (DBT), cognitive behaviour therapy (CBT) and family systems we pinpoint your strengths and build positive coping skills to help you reach your goals.

There is a saying that is very true and I believe that most people need to hear it. "It's okay to not be okay;" Everyone has their own challenges and struggles in life. I have been able to gain valuable experience working with anxiety, depression, and mood disorders. I have experience using modalities such as Cognitive-Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Dialectical-Behavioural Therapy (DBT), Narrative Therapy, Acceptance-Commitment Therapy (ACT), and Motivational Interviewing (MI). These modalities work with many challenges and struggles, meaning there is no right or wrong modality.

Life is full of anxiety, grief, failure, conflict, disappointment, insecurity, and isolation. Sometimes we get entangled in our thoughts, lose touch with the present, and act in self-defeating ways. Maybe you’re living a life that’s not yours, all you know is the expectations of others, or you’ve lost touch with your identity. Perhaps you’re in the midst of a painful transition - an injury, career change, break-up, or loss - and the path forward is unclear. There’s a nagging feeling that something just isn’t quite right. These are all normal experiences of a full human life, and you don’t have to navigate them alone.

I work with individuals and couples who seek to improve their mental health and relationships. I work with individuals who have experienced trauma, are struggling with anxiety, and/ or are seeking meaning to their life events. My unique life experience exposed me to different cultures and ways of living, which included the Middle East, Europe, and North America. I believe that relationships, mental health, and behaviours are better understood when body, mind, and context are examined simultaneously. I work with my clients to navigate through their experiences, including their spirituality, to create helpful meanings in their lives.

Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI) Counsellors
When should someone seek treatment for a traumatic brain injury?
People should seek a diagnosis and treatment after a head injury, especially if they were unconscious, and an early diagnosis can lead to a better recovery. Signs of a concussion include headaches, nausea or vomiting, exhaustion, dizziness, vision problems, sensitivity to light and sound, problems with attention and memory, brain fog, unusual irritability or sadness, and unusual sleep patterns.
What’s the most common treatment for a traumatic brain injury?
Treatment for a traumatic brain injury will be different depending on the severity of the problem. For mild injuries, treatment may involve rest and over-the-counter pain or headache medication. For moderate or severe injuries, treatment may involve stabilisation, medication, and rehabilitative therapies such as physical therapy, occupational therapy, speech therapy, cognitive therapy, and counselling.
How long does it take to recover from traumatic brain injury?
The recovery time for a traumatic brain injury depends on the individual and the severity and nature of the injury; the length of time spent unconscious is often an indicator of severity. Recovery time for mild injuries may be a week or two while recovery time for more severe injuries may be six months to two years. Research suggests that the vast majority of recovery occurs in the first two years after an injury; recovery after that time frame is less certain.
What if a traumatic brain injury is left untreated?
If a traumatic brain injury is left untreated, it can lead to long-term physical and mental health problems. Physical problems may include dizziness, headaches, vision, healing, or speech loss, and an elevated risk of dementia. Psychological problems may include impairments of memory, judgment, and decision-making, depression, aggression, poor impulse control, and personality changes.
