Credentials Verified by PM
I have been practising psychotherapy for more than ten years. I am energized by the steady and deliberate journey from first meeting a client at treatment outset to recognizing their strengths and deeply understanding their experiences, problems of living, and goals for treatment. I am dedicated to systematically updating and adding to my clinical knowledge and skills to help my clients. I am a CBT Certified Clinician by the Beck Institute and the Canadian Association of Cognitive Behavioral Therapies (CACBT). I am also certified in the Cognitive Behavioural Analysis System of Psychotherapy (CBASP), the only treatment model specifically designed to treat Persistent Depressive Disorder. My clinical background and original psychotherapy training is in psychodynamic psychotherapy. The world of psychotherapy is exciting to me because of its infinite variety and complexity in seeking to understand and transform how a person relates to and approaches human suffering and its alleviation. I believe psychotherapy is a liberation discourse, anchored in the therapy relationship, which helps a person live a valued and meaningful life.
