Presenting Concerns: I provide therapy for adults struggling with various difficulties, including:

• Anxiety (e.g., generalized anxiety and worry, social anxiety, specific phobias)

• Depression

• Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD)

• Attention-Deficit / Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD)

• Relationship distress

• Anger and emotion dysregulation

• Substance use

• Obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD)

• Low self-esteem

• Insomnia

Approach: I appreciate that change is hard. Therapy––learning alternate coping skills, trying new behaviours, and facing your fears–can often feel uncomfortable. To make the hard work of therapy worthwhile, I will collaborate with you to uncover what makes your unique life meaningful. We will examine barriers to your meaningful life and develop a plan to overcome them.

My theoretical orientation is rooted in cognitive-behavioral and behavioral frameworks. I incorporate strategies from Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and Motivational Interviewing (MI) to facilitate meaningful and lasting change for my clients. I work from a non-judgemental, collaborative, and person-centered stance, organizing interventions according to a client’s unique context, stage of change, and life goals.

Training/Experience: I received my Ph.D. in Clinical Psychology from Dalhousie University. My doctoral research focused on the intersection of emotion regulation and sexual well-being among romantic couples. I disseminated my research through 14 scientific journal articles and numerous presentations at national and international conferences. My pre-doctoral residency was at the Charleston Consortium: through the Medical University of South Carolina and the Ralph H Johnson Veterans Affairs Medical Center, I completed rotations in the PTSD Clinical Team, the Couples and Family Clinic, the Hollings Cancer Center Tobacco Treatment Program, and the Cognitive-Behavioural Therapy (CBT) Clinic for Emotional Disorders. I have specialized training in providing evidenced based care to Military Veterans, including Integrative Behavioral Couple Therapy (IBCT) for relationship distress and Prolonged Exposure (PE) for PTSD.
