As a clinical psychologist I provide assessment and treatment services to people experiencing a wide range of mental health difficulties including psychosis, bipolar disorder, depression, personality disorders, anxiety, stress, relationship issues, and grief. I specialize in treating serious mental health conditions such as schizophrenia, psychosis, and bipolar disorder but also treat a wide variety of difficulties. The therapeutic relationship is a critical component to therapy and I work collaboratively with clients to identify goals, understand problem areas, and implement a treatment plan to overcome those problems.
I am an Assistant Professor at the University of Toronto and I conduct clinical trials of cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT). My therapeutic approach is based on the CBT that we provide in our trials so we have research evidence proving that it works. I use a variety of techniques to help you improve your wellbeing and achieve the life you want to live.
Reaching out for help is not easy but starting therapy can be a big step towards enhancing your wellbeing. It can be challenging to find a therapist that you connect with and who has the expertise to help you with your specific difficulties. Contact me for your free phone consultation to find out whether I might be a good therapist to fit your needs.
