I help teens and young adults struggling with having a good relationship with themselves and others in their life. I believe every person is inherently driven toward and has the capacity for growth when in the right environment. While working together collaboratively, you can expect a safe, compassionate, and judgment-free space allowing for self-reflection and self-understanding. I will help you focus and build on your strengths and supports, look at different perspectives, learn skills, and use them to work on yourself and your overall mental health.
Life's challenges can be difficult to navigate at times. You might be struggling with grief, trauma, life transitions, burnout, stress, or depression and anxiety. These difficulties often bring unresolved past issues to the surface, making everything feel even more overwhelming. Finding your balance and sense of self can seem exhausting and hopeless. Together, we can work to process your emotions and experiences, develop effective coping strategies, meaningfully integrate your experiences into your life, and ultimately rebuild a sense of hope and resilience for your future. I am excited to walk alongside you on your journey to healing and positive change.
I am a registered Clinical Psychologist with a doctoral degree in psychology. I am licensed (#6854) by the College of Psychologists of Ontario. Additionally, I am a member of the Ontario Psychological Association and the American Psychological Association. I provide psychological services to the adult client population in-person as well as online through Owlpractice, a virtual platform for providing care virtually.
I follow an integrative treatment approach including Cognitive Behavior Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy. Intervention includes evidence-based treatment plans and empirically proven techniques. The focus of the treatment is on empowering the client with an adaptive thinking style and more effective coping skills to deal with symptoms and the surrounding environment. The goal of the treatment is to the enhancement of well-being and improve experience of overall quality of life.
I value my clients with their individual strengths and struggles. I actively engage with clients to reflect on their successes and challenges and rebuild their belief in their strengths and expand them further. I value a multicultural perspective and respect for diverse cultural backgrounds. The initial session is generally an intake assessment dedicated to understanding the case history/life story and for the purpose of diagnosis of the problem. Subsequently, treatment goals are collaboratively determined, and a treatment plan is tailored considering specific life situations, struggles, stressors, and personal strengths of the client.
Life can be tough but so are you. I am here to help you recognize your resilience and create meaningful change for your mental health and to support you through life’s challenges. My approach to therapy is person-centred and collaborative, integrating different techniques from Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Dialectical Behaviour Therapy, as well as Acceptance and Commitment therapy. I am passionate about empowering others and helping individuals find strength and flexibility. I hope to be able to support you through life’s challenges.
