About Me

I am a clinical psychologist providing psychological services to adults across Ontario. My practice includes both psychotherapy and psychodiagnostic assessments, including comprehensive ADHD and autism evaluations. Therapeutic approach

My approach is grounded in neuroscience, attachment theory, and the transformative power of emotional experience. I believe that, due to its remarkable capacity for neuroplasticity, the brain can change throughout life. This adaptability offers a powerful foundation for healing and growth.

I take a strength-based and experiential approach to psychotherapy, placing emphasis on identifying and savouring positive emotional states such as joy, compassion, curiosity, calm, and excitement. These emotions are meaningful in themselves and have been shown to support emotional regulation and build psychological resilience.

I draw primarily from Accelerated Experiential Dynamic Psychotherapy (AEDP), an attachment-based, emotion-focused model that helps clients access core emotions, shift entrenched patterns, and experience transformation through a secure and attuned therapeutic relationship.

To support trauma processing on a physiological level, I also integrate brainspotting, somatic experiencing, and other body-based and experiential approaches that help clients reconnect with their innate capacity for healing.

In addition, I incorporate more structured therapies such as Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), mindfulness, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT). These approaches offer practical tools for insight, emotional regulation, and behavioural change, and are tailored to meet each person’s individual goals and needs.

I completed my doctoral training in clinical psychology at Concordia University in Montreal. My clinical experience spans a variety of settings, including psychiatric hospitals, community mental health clinics, university counselling centres, and private practices.
