As a psychologist I try to provide a safe, confidential environment within which my clients can explore their feelings and values. People seek therapy when they are in pain, when they feel overwhelmed by stress and when they are struggling in relationships. I try to help my clients to resolve these issues by looking within themselves and by allowing debilitating wounds to heal.

I understand how difficult it can be to ask for help and the vulnerable place you are coming from. I myself have gone through counselling as part of my own journey. As a Registered Psychologist, I can offer you the peace of mind that I practiced for years under extensive supervision, passed several registered exams, and demonstrated the understanding and practice of a high standard of ethics in order to achieve my current status as Registered Psychologist. Let me help you by taking your goals and giving you practical steps towards achieving those goals-- be it relational goals, emotional goals, or just a goal of generally feeling better about yourself and your life!

My approach to counselling is grounded in my faith that people are intrinsically worthy, are able to make sound decisions, have successful relationships, and create the life they want. I integrate a variety of treatment methods into therapy including cognitive behavioral, humanistic, family of origin, and systems therapy. I focus on people's strenghts, and encourage people to trust themselves. As a registered psychologist I am recognized by most insurance companies.

My approach to working with clients is a collaborative, client-centered approach. I believe that we all have the capacity to heal ourselves, however when we are in a state of being overwhelmed we need support to work through our struggles. I am able to provide guidance to help you achieve a better understanding of what is going on for you, strategies that will be helpful in your daily life, and empowerment to feel confident in your ability to move forward healthily. I work with my clients based on their worldview and life experience, respecting the fact that we all come to a process of healing with different perspectives. I work to make my therapeutic model fit for the client, as opposed to having the client fit the model. This support is provided...(view profile to read more)

As a psychologist, I am specifically trained to help clients share their stories and emotions, recognize problematic behaviour patterns, teach valuable skills, and challenge negative thoughts in order to promote personal growth. I provide a professional and non-judgemental ear when clients need a outside or knowledgeable outlet. It is my pleasure to use humour, gentle guidance, thought challenges, and customized therapeutic approaches to help my clients overcome adversity and move forward in their lives.

As a psychologist I have been trained to understand and continue to study the relationship between the brain, the nervous system, personality and behavior. To understand the whole of the psyche in relationship to the contributing factors of society supports better mental health outcomes. As a psychologist I am rooted in the science of brain and behavior and as a human being I recognize that there is a whole lot more to this experience of being alive.
