Therapy should feel like a place where you are truly heard, understood, and supported—not rushed, judged, or fit into a one-size-fits-all approach. My goal is to help you make meaningful, practical changes by building on your strengths and addressing what’s getting in your way right now.
​
Every person and relationship comes to therapy with unique experiences, beliefs, and coping strategies. I integrate this personal understanding with current clinical research and advanced assessment-informed approaches to create a treatment plan that is tailored specifically to you—your goals, your challenges, and your life.
​
I work with individuals and couples seeking clarity, relief, and direction, offering:
-
Individual and couples counselling
-
Comprehensive clinical assessment services
-
Evidence-based treatment for insomnia, menopause, stress, ADHD.
Consultation appointments for second opinions or specialized clinical input
​
Many clients come to me when they want clear answers, a thoughtful plan, and confidence they are on the right path—not just ongoing sessions without direction.
​
Outside of my clinical work, I am actively involved in advancing mental health care through conference presentations, professional advocacy across Canada and the U.S., regulatory and scope-of-practice initiatives, and clinical supervision for master’s- and doctoral-level trainees as well as practicing clinicians. I am also engaged in research aimed at improving access, quality, and outcomes in mental health services.
​
I currently provide services for adolescents (ages 12+), adults, and couples.
​
If you’re ready to move forward—or even just want clarity on your next step—I invite you to explore my Treatment Areas & Specialties below and book an appointment that fits your needs.
​
I look forward to working with you toward your goals.
