I specialize in assessing and treating a broad range of concerns among adults and couples. These include low mood, depression, grief, anxiety (e.g., social anxiety, panic, generalized anxiety, health anxiety), perfectionism, OCD, post-traumatic stress disorder including complex trauma (e.g., interpersonal, racial, sexual), relationship difficulties, gender and sexual identity (e.g., homophobia, transphobia), emotional regulation difficulties, suicidality, and psychosis. Moreover, I am qualified to conduct assessments for gender dysphoria and surgical readiness for transgender and other gender diverse individuals.
As therapy often involves expressing the most vulnerable version of ourselves, I am committed to providing a warm and safe environment to better facilitate this process I understand the importance of forming a strong therapeutic bond and honour this relationship through ongoing collaboration with clients, ensuring they have autonomy over their own care.
Informed by an intersectional lens (e.g., race, ethnicity, gender, sexuality, religion, immigrant status, health status), I adopt an integrative approach to psychological treatment, drawing from evidence-based interventions including Emotion-Focused Therapy (EFT), Cognitive-Behavioural Therapy (CBT), and Dialectical-Behavioural Therapy (DBT).
