I am a registered clinical psychologist providing Cognitive-Behavioural Therapy (CBT), an evidence-based treatment that has been found to be effective in the treatment of mood and anxiety-related difficulties. I worked as a staff clinical psychologist in the Mood Disorders Program at CAMH where I gained extensive experience in psychological assessments and the delivery of individual & group cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT). I also worked at a university counselling centre since 2013, providing CBT to students dealing with a variety of mental health problems.

As a therapist, my goal is to help you to navigate through difficult situations, life changes and events. Together, we can focus on skills that foster resiliency in the face of inevitable challenges and stressors. I have several years of experience working with teens and adults dealing with anxiety, depression, grief, relationship issues, substance use and other mental health concerns. I appreciate the complexities and challenges that life has to offer, especially from a cultural and racial lens.

Many of us feel stuck in familiar patterns that no longer serve us. Patterns that are barriers to healthy relationships, meaningful work and good feelings about ourselves. I will work alongside you to help make sense of how past experiences may influence these present day struggles. Together we can work to heal self-criticism; "over-reaction" or "overthinking" type responses; unwanted or intrusive thoughts; feeling "too much" or feeling numb; repeated tendencies that feel like self-sabotage; hard emotions linked to life transitions; and painful memories from past experience.

Sometimes life gets hard and our inner experience becomes heavy, overwhelming or just plain confusing. Like many others, you may long to feel light again or reconnect with who you once were. As a Registered Psychotherapist (qualifying), I believe the process of psychotherapy helps you feel less alone, less burdened and more understood. I recognize that it takes courage to take that first step in the healing journey and thus, I believe in meeting you wherever you are at. My experience comes from working with individuals living with grief and loss, trauma, substance use concerns, mood issues, and general feelings of being “stuck."

Feeling a little isolated, misunderstood or simply disconnected from yourself or those around you? Perhaps you’re seeking counselling to better understand how lived experiences might be impacting your wellness in the present. Or maybe you do not identify with any of these specific issues but want to explore some other issue through therapy anyway and aren’t entirely sure of the process….
