I am a Registered Psychologist and co-founder of Arc Psychology with over 15 years of experience working with teenagers, adults, and couples. I help people who are struggling with anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, grief, perfectionism, trauma, pregnancy and postpartum mental health, emotional regulation, self-esteem concerns, and major life transitions.
My approach is warm, collaborative, and grounded in the belief that effective therapy begins with a relationship where you feel safe, respected, and able to be fully yourself.
My training includes a Master's and Ph.D. in Clinical Psychology from the University of Waterloo, and I have worked in hospitals, community mental health settings, and government services throughout my career. I have also taught courses and served as an Adjunct Clinical Supervisor at the University of British Columbia, helping to train future psychologists.
My goal is not only to help reduce distress, but to support greater self-understanding, stronger relationships, increased resilience, and a more meaningful and fulfilling life.
If you feel we may be a good fit, I invite you to reach out. I look forward to the possibility of working together.
