Do you constantly worry or obsess? I have a passion for helping clients overcome symptoms of Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD), anxiety disorders, and representations of trauma. I continually ensure that I am coming from a knowledgeable place when working with clients, not only by practicing evidence-based therapeutic interventions, but also by recognizing the complexities and nuance of commonly misunderstood mental health issues. I believe that psychotherapy is most effective when the client feels supported and the work is collaborative.

I specialize in tailoring exposure and response prevention (ERP), which is the gold standard treatment for OCD. My goal is to walk alongside you to take those big, and sometimes scary steps that are necessary to move toward wellness.

I understand that each client has their own unique journey. I feel honoured by each opportunity I have to support a struggling individual, if only briefly, and understand the bravery required to ask for help. If you are struggling and feel alone right now, please reach out; I would be more than happy to walk along with you on this path of healing.

I primarily use ERP when working with clients presenting with OCD or OCD-like symptoms, while also incorporating mindfulness techniques if the client sees fit. After the initial assessment session, I will typically collaborate with the client to create an exposure scale, then prompt the client to progress through these steps at a pace suitable for them, pausing and backtracking as needed.

Cognitive Behavioural (CBT)
Culturally Sensitive
Dialectical Behavior (DBT)
Exposure Response Prevention (ERP)
Prolonged Exposure Therapy

While there are certain mental health problems that require very specific interventions, I typically try to incorporate both introspective and technical approaches with clients to provide both insight and tangible progress. I will often use DBT and CBT skills with clients, while also assessing clients' narratives from a psychodynamic and, often, social justice-oriented lens.
