I am a Ph.D. registered, clinical psychologist offering treatment for anxiety, trauma and stress-related disorders, depression, burn-out, life transitions, interpersonal/relational challenges, and low self-esteem. I am trained in empirically-validated approaches: Contemplative and Mindfulness-aimed, Somatically-oriented, Cognitive Behavioural and Acceptance and Commitment-based, Compassion-focused, Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, and Prolonged Exposure therapies. As a certified Yoga teacher and student, I integrate mind-body awareness and related conceptualizations and exercises, as deemed appropriate.
I have years of personal experience in the study and practice of Mindfulness and Yoga e.g.,: (Asana {Posture}, Pranayama {Breath work}, and Dhyana {Meditation}).
I strive to take the time to really get to know and understand you and to foster and maintain a warm, sincere, accepting, compassionate, and supportive environment that is respectful and attentive in honouring each individuals’ unique character, needs, and inner strengths, and within which core issues can be nurtured, and/or modified.

Harmony: Yoga-Reinforced-CBT-for-GAD

This is an online yoga and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) group for generalized anxiety. You must be diagnosed with GAD to take part. The program will help you to: Challenge maladaptive automatic thoughts, bring non-judgemental awareness to experience with distance, to better tolerate physiological aspects of anxiety, regulate breathing patterns for overall calm, to move in ways that bring strength and ease, tap into unique gifts, develop courage, and foster a capacity for compassion. Next group is starting soon (will post when it's finalized).
