ABOUT ME

After struggling with depression as an adolescent, I decided that I wanted to become a psychologist to help others. I am passionate about offering clients a caring and safe environment to explore life’s challenges and move towards their goals. 

I am passionate about the field of psychology and I love expanding my knowledge and skills so that I can continuously increase my capacity to help others live their best and happiest lives. I have completed specialized training related to strengthening and building relationships, self-compassion, ADHD, OCD, and trauma.

As a former high school teacher I have an affinity for working with adolescents, especially those struggling with learning challenges or ADHD.

COUNSELLING APPROACHES

ACCEPTANCE AND COMMITMENT THERAPY (ACT)​

ACT posits that psychological flexibility leads to mental and emotional well being. I use ACT to help clients navigate challenges such as depression, anxiety, and grief.

 

GOTTMAN COUPLES COUNSELLING

This approach is based on the research of John Gottman, a world-renowned expert in predicting divorce. I have completed Levels 1 and 2 certification from the Gottman Institute, as well as Gottman courses in trauma and betrayal.

COGNITIVE BEHAVIOURAL THERAPY (CBT)

CBT is the most researched counselling approach and is effective at helping with a myriad of challenges. I have found CBT particularly helpful for clients experiencing phobias and social anxiety. 

SOLUTION FOCUSED THERAPY (SFT)

SFT posits that individuals have the capabilities they need to solve their problems. I have adopted an SFT perspective in my practice, emphasizing the strengths that clients bring to the challenges they are facing.

COMPASSION FOCUSED THERAPY (CFT)

CFT emphasizes kindness to oneself to help overcome negative self-talk. Compassion can actually help us access courage to face our challenges.
