Clinical Psychologist

I have always been interested in people’s stories and how our experiences shape us as individuals. Therapy, in my opinion, is a special space where individuals can feel safe to explore vulnerabilities, gain new perspectives, and overcome obstacles to build the life they want. As your psychologist, I will work with you in a down-to-earth, compassionate, and collaborative way to help you achieve your desired outcomes.

I have over a decade of experience working with young people, families, and adults across public and private settings. My therapeutic framework is largely informed by Schema Therapy, Emotion-Focused Therapy, Dialectical Behaviour Therapy, and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy. These evidence-based frameworks are useful in helping individuals to understand and resolve unhelpful patterns underlying emotional distress, relationship difficulties and negative self-worth.

Some of the areas I feel passionate about include helping adolescents and adults with:

• Emotion regulation
• Anxiety and depression
• Establishing boundaries and developing assertiveness
• Identity and self-esteem concerns
• Healing attachment trauma
• Family work and addressing parenting concerns
• Adjusting to major life events
• Managing stress and burnout
• Providing clinical supervision

Outside of being a psychologist, you’ll likely find me spending time with my family, attempting various DIY projects, or enjoying a good book at a local café. I look forward to connecting with you at Zest Infusion.
