Great to meet you!

I'm a psychologist with expertise in treating people from diverse backgrounds. Having worked in healthcare, I understand the challenges faced when living with chronic illness, pain, trauma, and/or substance misuse. I have expertise in helping you to maximize the benefits of psychiatric medications. I am also a generalist who has helped people to deal with challenges that can present at all life stages.

My approach to therapy

Having a solid grounding in traditional treatment approaches (e.g. cognitive-behavioral therapy, bio-psycho-social treatment, psychodynamic therapy), I also incorporate mindfulness-based and Buddhist-oriented approaches when the client has interest.

What you can expect from me

In working with me you will learn more empowered options for creating positive change in your daily life in order to increase your happiness and well-being.
