Our Team
I'm a partner at Central Ontario Psychology and a psychologist with more than 30 years of experience treating PTSD, anxiety, depression, and other psychological conditions. Throughout my career, I have worked extensively with first responders, veterans, and other public safety personnel, as well as individuals affected by operational, occupational, criminal, or childhood trauma. I have deep experience working with WSIB and VAC. I believe that effective psychological care combines scientific evidence with compassion, curiosity, and practical strategies tailored to each individual.

Throughout life's stages of growth and change, we experience times when we thrive and times when challenges arise. I provide psychological assessment and therapy for children, teens and adults who may be facing challenges such as anxiety, depression, or issues of self-worth. I also support clients and families navigating transitions or seeking clarity about learning, attention or social-emotional needs. Whether the goal is to better understand a diagnosis, explore strategies for coping, or create a plan for growth, I work collaboratively with clients and families to build trust, highlight strengths, and support meaningful change.
