I am a Registered Psychologist and was trained in Marriage and Family Therapy. I have many years of experience in the area of Mental Health and Addictions, and I have worked in a variety of settings with diverse cultural backgrounds. Given my training in Marriage and Family Therapy, I utilize a systemic framework when viewing interpersonal relationships. I believe all individuals are interconnected and part of a larger system; which includes our families, communities, social group, etc. Consequently, when one of these larger systems gets stuck in unhelpful patterns, the individual(s) within that system can become trapped in unhelpful interactional patterns that can perpetuate their concerns. I aim to troubleshoot and solve these problems while addressing the dynamics of the larger group.

There largely remains a stigma in our society about seeing a psychologist. Therefore, when individuals, couples, or families experience a problem, they are liable to keep it to themselves or at most, share with trusted allies.

It's here that the psychologist has something to offer: a safe, non-judgmental place where rapport can be built on confidentiality, mutual respect and sensitivity. Bringing pertinent, thorough, and efficious training, the psychologist meets the client where they're at and facilitates collaborative solutions to presenting problems.
