Hello and welcome to my page. Clients often seek me out for help with their anxiety, depression, trauma, social anxiety, panic, family and parenting difficulties, pre-natal and post-partum challenges, domestic violence, addictions, relationship issues and motor vehicle rehabilitation therapy. I have over 10 years experience supporting children and adults in complex mental health and challenging family circumstances. I am certified in Circle of Security Parenting, I provide EMDR Therapy to youth and adults, and i am a member of the Arizona Trauma Institute.

I am on the side of you that is working towards what is best for you. Change can be hard, and it is easy to get frustrated with yourself or others when it seems like you've tried so many times. If you are looking to break free from unhelpful thoughts, have healthier relationships, or work through painful memories (including grief or shame), I'm here to support you.

After studying clinical psychology in Europe, I worked for more than two decades in a city hospital. I primarily treated adults struggling with a range of issues, including anxiety and phobias, depression, trauma, obsessive-compulsive disorder, sexual dysfunctions, and relational issues. My work aimed to help these individuals overcome their problems, improve their quality of life, and foster their personal growth. In addition to my clinical experience, I've had the unique opportunity to offer psychotherapeutic services in war-affected regions, working closely with refugees and soldiers suffering from PTSD and war-related issues.

Taking that courageous step to seek support isn't easy, and I want you to feel comfortable knowing I'm here to create a warm and understanding space for you. I'm committed to understanding the challenges you're going through, focusing on your unique perspective. I'll adjust to what feels right for you, offering support to overcome any obstacles affecting your well-being. Our therapeutic relationship is important to me, and I'm dedicated to providing a secure and confidential space where you can share openly.

"I believe one of the bravest things you can do is to begin to understand your own story." I have dedicated my life to build a practice where people can come to a place of peace, where you feel comfortable and safe to unburden yourself about the most intimate and personal aspects of your life without the fear of being judged or shamed. This process allows you to shed the layers that keep you going in the same cycles and help you start a new and more fulfilling chapter in your life. Calling a therapist can be intimidating, but I hope you will take a moment (and maybe a deep breath) to call and see how I can help.

Absence ALERT: I will be away April 11-15, 2024. Are you feeling stressed, anxious or depressed as we all collectively learn how to navigate this new reality of fear and social isolation, brought on by the COVID 19 pandemic outbreak? Would you like to find ways to be more focused and more connected with yourself and in synergy with others? Explore your strengths, even in your broken places, and craft and start living a truly energizing and meaningful life? You may be surprised to uncover resources in places you forgot or never knew existed.

I am a duly qualified Registered Psychologist in Ontario in the areas of clinical neuropsychology and clinical psychology providing both assessment and treatment services to an adult (18+) and senior population. I completed my Ph.D. at the University of Windsor and post-doctoral training at Toronto Rehabilitation Institute. I have extensive clinical experience working with individuals struggling with psychoemotional distress within community, medical consortiums, and rehabilitation facilities across North America.

As a Clinical Psychologist, I work collaboratively with individuals and couples by drawing on their capacity for growth to help them gain greater self-understanding and meet their desired goals. I believe therapy should offer a supportive, non-judgemental space where clients can explore their inner worlds.

I provide psychotherapy and counselling to clients who struggle with anxiety and depression which can often be a result of unresolved past trauma, relationship or work stress and confidence issues. Are you a highly achieving individual who struggles with self esteem? Does this affect your work performance, interpersonal relationships and ultimately takes away from your ability to enjoy life? If so, we will work together to help you understand yourself on a deeper level, change unhelpful thinking patterns, identify strengths, build coping skills and move towards professional and personal success.

Believe it or not, in the same way that you learned how to read or ride a bike, you CAN learn to navigate uncertainty and coast through the emotional ups and downs that come with the times in your life when you do not know where to go or what to do. I believe that creativity can be the sustaining and supportive fire that fuels your life. Listening, breathing, embodied learning, and making, are the four principles which have guided my practice over the last 15 years. Changing longstanding habits or patterns takes time, commitment, motivation, and consistency, many approaches are needed. Caring for yourself is fundamental to life.

Unfolding, experiencing and living our authentic selves is what I am passionate about. I am highly skilled in guiding clients in accessing and exploring obstacles that are results of our deeply rooted beliefs. Unquestioned beliefs or limiting thoughts that can manifest as anxiety, depression or other psycho-emotional difficulties can actually be guiding lights on our journey to our true Selves. The essence of our being remains untouched as we grow and is waiting to be found and reconnected with. When you connect on a deeper level with your Self, your purpose, gifts, and talents show in their fullness and potentials show up.
