After over a decade of working in multidisciplinary health care settings, I have decided to fulfill my dream of opening my own practice. Cardinal Psychology is opening in the North End of Halifax in the summer of 2026. I look forward to offering compassionate, personalized, empirically supported psychological treatment to adults in my office (with parking- and close to the Italian Market for delicious treats) or from the comfort of home via video.
I have extensive experience in helping people adjust to life altering medical conditions, including chronic pain, persistent headaches, workplace and motor vehicle accident injuries, concussions, neurological disorders, women's health issues, and a variety of other diagnoses. I also enjoy working with first responders, depression, and anxiety.
Just looking at profiles is a first step in making a change. When you are ready for the next step, I'd love to get an email from you to discuss whether we may be a good fit in advance of my practice opening later this summer. I look forward to hearing from you!

I base my therapeutic approach on case conceptualization, namely what brought you to where you are today, what strengths and coping skills do you have, and what has helped you to change in the past. Based on this, and your own motivation for seeking therapy, I use empirically supported techniques from approaches such as CBT, ACT, mindfulness, biopsychosocial approaches, CPT, and prolonged exposure
