Some specialty areas in which I have additional training include: trauma, anxiety, depression, identity issues, and relationship issues.
In my 18 years of working as a psychologist I have met with all types of people facing a myriad of challenges. What I have learned over the years is every one of us is doing our very best to get through life. Sometimes, we need help learning new ways to be our best selves. My goal in therapy is guiding people not just to survive, but to thrive. I will meet you where you are, and build from there. I like to teach skills that can be used long after therapy has ended. I focus not only on healing trauma and reducing symptoms, but I also help others find meaning and fulfillment in order to enjoy life again.

I view the therapeutic relationship as a safe, supportive connection that fosters exploration and shared understanding.
The quality of our interpersonal relationships plays a crucial role in our daily well-being and functioning. A sense of belonging within our intimate relationships and community is a fundamental human need. This deep-seated interest has led me to specialize in working with individuals, couples, and families for the past 10 years. Throughout my career, I have developed an open and dynamic understanding of individual, relational, and social issues, which I consider inseparable.

My clinical practice focuses on individuals and couples from a wide variety of cultural backgrounds, struggling with relationship issues, anxiety, and depression.
My preferred model in working with couples is Emotionally Focused Therapy (www.iceeft.ca). This model helps partners understand their interactional cycles and underlying feelings linked to their attachment needs. This is a well researched approach that allows partners to connect on a deeper level and discover the potential for their growth in a relationship.

At the core of my practice is a belief that inside each of us there is important information trying to be heard, and that due to various worries, fears, and traumas, we have become mistrustful of our own inner life.

While need for human connection appears to be innate, the ability to form healthy, loving relationships is learned. Some evidence suggests that the ability to form a stable relationship starts to form in infancy, in a child's earliest experiences with a caregiver who reliably meets the infant's needs for food, care, warmth, protection, stimulation, and social contact. Such relationships are not destiny, but they are theorized to establish deeply ingrained patterns of relating to others. The end of a relationship, however, is often a source of great psychological anguish.
