Living with constant worry, feeling physically on edge, or being caught in a cycle of overthinking can make daily life feel exhausting. For many, these feelings of anxiety are closely tied to low mood, a loss of motivation, or a sense of being stuck in patterns that are hard to change despite your best efforts. As a clinical psychologist with specialized training in Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), I work with you to treat anxiety and depression, along with the challenges that often accompany them—such as burnout, self-criticism, and difficult life transitions.

I don't view my clients through a lens of good or bad; rather, I see them with compassion and empathy, believing everyone has the potential to improve and contribute to society. I trust in the power of agency—that each person can create monumental change, build resiliency, and overcome adversities. Working from a holistic approach, I guide clients to feel a sense of life's preciousness, which I believe is foundational to therapeutic success; I aim to help them reconnect with their inner light and their unique potential to thrive, free from judgment. We also work to externalize their struggles, so they are no longer defined by them.

Bipolar Disorder Counsellors
What is the most successful approach to treating bipolar disorder?
Living with bipolar disorder can be challenging, and a number of therapies have been found effective in providing support to patients as they gain the skills to understand and manage the disorder. Family-focused therapy is often helpful for children and teens (the majority of cases develop before age 19); it aims to minimize mood cycling by improving family communication and reducing conflict. It also helps young people navigate the developmental challenges the disorder can create. Cognitive and behavioral therapy (CBT) and variants such as Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT)help patients manage the thoughts and feelings that influence bipolar mood swings as well as develop specific behavioral strategies to counteract them.
What happens in therapy for bipolar disorder?
Because the patterns of mood switching and its triggers differ for each person and can change over time, mood tracking or monitoring becomes a basic way patients learn about the nature of their condition. One of the most common features of therapy is finding a workable method of mood monitoring, in which patients track their daily activities and rate their moods, then use the findings to adjust routines accordingly. Patients learn ways of handling the many stresses that arise in life so that they do not trigger mood swings.
What kinds of problems does therapy help with?
Like many other mental health disorders, BPD is heavily influenced by stress; therapy provides skills for coping with stressors of all kinds. Therapy is extremely important for helping individuals identify the situations that may trigger mood switching, so that mood swings can be prevented. Therapy may especially target recognition of the early stages of mood change so that they can be managed. In addition, therapy helps patients deal with the significant amount of turbulence the disorder can create in relationships and in work life.
What is the goal of therapy for bipolar disorder?
Therapy helps patients set up their lives to maintain stability so that their mood isn’t constantly threatened by daily events. Perhaps the first task of therapy is to educate people about the nature of the disorder. At the same time, a primary goal of therapy is to enhance adherence to drug treatment. Extended periods of mood stability can prompt patients to discontinue medication, triggering relapse, while the early phases of manic episodes can feel so energizing that patients stop medication, ushering in full-blown mania and the altered self-perception that can lead to destructive behaviors. Another major goal of therapy is to understand one’s mood patterns so as to minimize both the frequency and intensity of mood cycling.
