About Me

My emphasis of practice is in the assessment and treatment of emotional and cognitive difficulties within adults. An effective therapeutic relationship is a collaborative experience between client/s and clinician that is marked by openness, honesty, and a commitment to change. My role is to facilitate the process as you seek to make changes that you feel are important to your functioning. I support and encourage change in a safe and confidential therapeutic atmosphere by using an experiential treatment approach that encompasses cognitive behavioural therapy, dialectical behavioural therapy, emotion focused therapy, gestalt therapy, redecision therapy, transactional analyses, and relationship therapy. I attend to the uniqueness of your experiences and the cultural context within which this uniqueness emerges.

A psychological assessment provides important information about an individual’s social, emotional, behavioural, and/or cognitive functioning and may entail clinical interview/s, questionnaires, tests, and observations. A comprehensive cognitive assessment involves an investigation of intellectual abilities, academic skills, memory abilities, attention abilities, and executive function abilities and encompasses clinical interview/s, testing, scoring, analysis, interpretation, report writing, recommendations and feedback. The information is presented in a written psychological report. The psychological report is discussed with you at a feedback session. A psychodiagnostic assessment involves an investigation of problematic socio-emotional and/or personality patterns.

I offer individual psychotherapy, couples psychotherapy, psychoeducation, and psychological assessments to individuals eighteen years and older. Short-term therapy is feasible when you present with one or two goal(s) for change. Long-term therapy is feasible when you present with serious long-standing problems and difficulties.
