Member of College of Psychologists of Ontario (CPO)
Psychotherapy Provider (Psychologist Licensed)
Credentials Verified by PM
I am a registered psychologist, licensed to practice with adults in the areas of clinical, forensic, and neuropsychology. I provide a wide range of assessment services, while my treatment services are focused on psychosis, personality disorders, trauma, and behaviours that have led to legal problems (e.g., aggression, stealing, vandalism). My approach as a clinician is defined by the values of genuineness, presence, and empowerment. The therapeutic relationship is a professional relationship, but it is a relationship nonetheless, and I always treat it that way. No fake therapist voice here. My goal is to make sure you feel that I am walking alongside you as we navigate your experiences as a team. I firmly believe that everyone is doing the best they can with the skills they have, and I will support you in building on your skills to take back control of your life.
