About Me

I have been providing psychological services to adults who are struggling with a wide range of challenges, such as depression, ADHD, anxiety, relationship conflict, emotional disturbances, and low self esteem. *** I provide in-person services in Ottawa, ON and I'm also available for virtual appointments anywhere in Ontario and Alberta***

I am particularly interested in the management of Post Concussion Syndrome and the emotional and psychological impacts of the injury. In collaboration with the Concussion specialists at the Sport Medicine Clinic, I am involved in the management of the mental health symptoms of concussion.

I conduct ADHD assessments* for adults struggling with undiagnosed ADHD. The purpose of an ADHD assessment is to assess the possible existence of ADHD using a standard ADHD battery that includes assessment of psychiatric and academic history, current symptoms, cognitive functioning, and level of impairment related to these symptoms. Symptoms might look different at older ages and a diagnosis is based on the criteria outlined in the DSM 5-TR. For more information visit https://www.caddra.ca.

*Current wait time for an ADHD assessment is 1-2 months*

I work with high performance athletes, helping them overcome emotional and psychological barriers impeding their performance. My practice focuses on helping athletes develop self awareness, emotional regulation, build resiliency, practice stress management, and prioritize their mental health. I am a member of the Canadian Centre for Mental Health and Sport, providing mental health counselling to high level athletes and coaches.
