We provide assessments (ADHD, autism, psychoeducational, Return to work, personality, and psychodiagnostic). Validated questionnaires are used to identify mental health symptoms and assess emotional and intellectual functioning.

I work to create a safe space for clients to explore their thoughts, emotions and behaviours. Through a client-oriented approach, I aim to help clients uncover the underlying roots of their problems and symptoms.

In my practice, I assist clients in exploring these factors and the dynamic organization to the way they unconsciously register experience. By doing so, we can work to bring about desired changes.

I had been a medical doctor before I became a psychologist. I changed professions because I realized that our thoughts, feelings, and behavioural habits have a powerful effect on our health and happiness but their potential to aid healing is often neglected in medicine. I feel privileged to work with clients who are on the journey of recovery and self-growth during and after adversities. I work with clients who have sleep problems, fatigue, stress, low mood, depression, anxiety, panic, chronic worry, obsessive thinking, post-concussion syndrome, medical illnesses, or chronic pain.

Every person is so unique and beautifully complex, and that is what makes my work enjoyable and enriching. My aim in therapy is to first get to know who you are, including your strengths and vulnerabilities, and then we can work together to see how you might improve the quality and meaning in your life. I take a person-centered approach, creating a compassionate, safe and judgment-free environment, in which we can work together to explore your struggles, experiences and relationships and then strive towards improved outcomes. I draw from a number of modalities and customize my interventions to suit each individual client.
