I help clients using cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT), a skill-based approach in which I am certified. Praticing skills to change your thinking and behaviour leads to success in addressing issues in the same way that practicing skills leads to success in a career, academics, sports, music and many other endeavours. I track progress using clients' reports of their well-being and monitor the quality of my relationship with clients by soliciting written feedback.

All too often, life throws us a curve-ball. In an instant, we go from having it all together to standing in the shambles of our lives wondering how it all ever fit together in first place. On the one hand, we see our principles, our faith and our beliefs, and, on the other, we see our reality -- and our broken hearts. In times like these, it's not enough to just gain more information. What really matters is making it all fit. As a registered psychologist, my training in psychology can help you with those answers and, as a registered Christian counsellor, the training in faith, spirituality and meaning can help you make sense of that information for your life, and then help you to see how you can fit the pieces back together again.

As a Psychologist I can help an individual explore and experiment with change in their lives in ways that will ultimately help them find deeper meaning and contentment; feel more happy and fulfilled.

We can work together to build on your unique strengths and resiliencies; create more of what truly makes you special and unique.
