Psychologist
I am a registered Psychologist with several years experience in residential addictions treatment, anxiety management services, and more recently in a general mental health setting. Much of my experience has involved working with adults who faced significant childhood trauma, and who experience addictions and other mental health issues, including those related to anxiety, mood and personality. I also have experience facilitating dialectical behaviour therapy groups, teaching skills to young adults struggling with emotion dysrgeulation. I have worked with individuals from a wide range of cultural backgrounds.
I offer integrative therapy incorporating psychodynamic and cognitive and behavioural approaches. I also draw on more skills-based interventions where needed, including dialectical behaviour therapy skills of mindfulness, emotional regulation, distress tolerance and interpersonal effectiveness.
I have a warm, empathetic and collaborative therapeutic style. I view an honest and respectful relationship between myself and clients as integral to our work together.
