I obtained my doctoral degree in Clinical Psychology from the University of Manitoba and offer assessment and treatment of a range of psychological difficulties including Depression, Anxiety Disorders, Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder, and Posttraumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD).

In addition, I provide therapy for problems in coping with general stress, chronic pain, return-to-work/school issues, relationship problems, and parenting stress. My therapeutic approach integrates evidence-based treatments such as Cognitive-Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Mindfulness, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Solution Focused Therapy, and Motivational Interviewing.

I work to tailor treatment to your needs and personality with the goal of alleviating suffering and increasing well-being in your life. I have significant experience in conducting and interpreting research, which helps to ensure I am using assessment and treatment methods supported by scientific study.

As a clinician, my primary focus is helping you feel better, improve your life, adjust to change and tackle adversity. I draw upon a variety of evidence based treatments in order to tailor my therapeutic approach to meet your unique individual needs: Cognitive-Behavioural Therapy, Stages of Change, Motivational Interviewing, Exposure of Response Prevention and Mindfulness-based practices.

My clinical interests include helping adults cope with anxiety, depression, obsessive compulsive disorder, chronic pain, sleep issues, and chronic health adjustment.
