You are likely here because you are looking to make some positive changes. If you are ready to get started, I would be happy to team up with you and start on your journey towards your goals.

Throughout my clinical training, I have gained valuable experience in various therapy models, including Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Unified Protocol (UP), Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT), and psychodynamic psychotherapy. I have honed my skills as a trainee at the Psychology Clinic and the Student Wellness Services at Queen’s University, working under the supervision of registered psychologists.

I completed my final doctoral practicum training at DPPC under the supervision of Dr. Karen Dinsmore where I was trained to work from a psychodynamic and emotion-focused framework using the ISTDP metapsychology. I remain on the DPPC team as a doctoral student therapist under Dr. Dinsmore’s supervision where I continue to train in ISTDP.

My training and clinical experiences have nurtured my passion for individual therapy, particularly in addressing long-term issues that may stem from early exposure to trauma, severe stressful life events, or attachment problems. Additionally, I am dedicated to continuously enhancing my cross-cultural competency in my practice, ensuring that I can effectively serve diverse populations.

In addition to self-referred clients, I am also available to work with veterans referred by Veterans Affairs Canada (VAC) and workers referred by WSIB.
