Approach

I believe that meaningful therapy begins with taking the time to get to know you as a whole person and what matters most to you. My approach is collaborative, active, and engaged. I want to create a warm space where you feel heard and understood, while also helping you see patterns, explore new perspectives, and develop practical strategies to move forward. I develop personalized treatment plans and will work with you to craft a plan that feels relevant, manageable, and meaningful to you. I will strive to help you feel more empowered, grounded, and confident as you work toward the parts of life that matter most to you.

My approach integrates evidence-based psychotherapy orientations like Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT), Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), mindfulness practices, Goal Management Training (GMT), and neurorehabilitation approaches.

Training and Experience
I hold a Ph.D. in Clinical and Rehabilitation Neuropsychology from McMaster University, where I dedicated my doctoral research to exploring how to re-regulate dysfunctional brain networks in PTSD. My clinical training spans both inpatient and outpatient settings, including the Posttraumatic Stress and Recovery Unit at Homewood Healthcare, the Clinical Neuropsychology Services and the Mood Disorders Program at St. Joseph’s Healthcare Hamilton, as well as the Brain Health Sciences Program at Sunnybrook Health Sciences. I also hold a position as a postdoctoral fellow at York University.
