To paraphrase a quote I have valued for a long time, "There is nothing wrong with letting someone who cares, help you." I care about all of my clients. I used to be in school to pursue software development, and got into this profession because I wanted to do something meaningful, and to me that is helping the public however I can. I am primarily known for my work with trauma and anxiety. So if that is why you find yourself on psychology today, I am excited to help and would love to work with you. Addtional note: I can do direct billing for NIHB and any insurer under Telus eClaims

I have a variety of tools I use for people depending on what they need, and works for them. I primarily employ EMDR and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) with my clients. I borrow from other modalities but these would be the two I use most often.

Nobody was born into the world to be alone, so we will work as a team and get you feeling how you want to feel again. I hope we get to work together. Like most therapists I do free consultations, feel free to book in so we can start to get to know each other.

I am most well known for my work with Trauma and Anxiety. I use EMDR and ACT for the two respectively. Sometimes we benefit the present by working on unpacking the past, and sometimes we do it by developing relevant emotional skills in the present. These two therapies are really good for each of those and so cover a lot of bases. I also do couples therapy using Gottman Couples Therapy.

My aim is to know you well enough to use a treatment type that works for you. But if I had a home base it would be ACT which is based on CBT (a lot of acronyms). But I do help a lot of people with trauma focused work by using EMDR. Regardless of what it is you want to work on, we move at your pace, and what you are comfortable with. I am here to help with what you need.
