My therapeutic approach is grounded in empathy, respect for diversity (including LGBTQ+), and evidence-based practice. I use cognitive-behavioural therapy (CBT), eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR, for trauma), solution-focused brief therapy, and other techniques, informed by a humanistic and feminist worldview.

I welcome adults and adolescents aged 16+ who are experiencing:

• anxiety, chronic worry, phobias, panic attacks
• stress, insomnia
• depression (including post-partum mood and anxiety disorders)
• eating disorders (requires coordination with your doctor or psychiatrist)
• OCD/obsessive-compulsive disorder
• skin picking and hair pulling (trichotillomania)
• grief following a loved one's death, a personal loss, or an illness diagnosis
• breakups, separation, divorce, blended family adjustment
• difficulties with life stage transitions such as new parenthood or retirement
• PTSD/post-traumatic stress disorder (I use Prolonged Exposure and EMDR)
• and various other concerns - please feel free to contact me with questions

I do not provide couples' therapy or psychological assessments, and I do not take on WCB (work-related injury) cases. Also, please note I'm unable to see teachers who work at Strathcona or Avalon schools.
