The approach I use is eclectic: existential and person-centered perspectives, with components of cognitive behavioral therapy. Alongside that I use mindfulness and practical strategies. We explore what is contributing to the difficulty, and we work on coping strategies and skills.

With anxiety, we look at tools that can help you regain a sense of calm and control. With couples, I support communication, conflict, and a closer connection. With grief, sleep, substance use, and depression, the work is practical and aimed at what is weighing on you now.

I see individuals and couples, adults and older adults. People come with anxiety, depression, grief, sleep issues, substance use, relationship challenges, adjustment, and phase-of-life problems. I am an ally to gay, lesbian, non-binary, and queer clients. The work fits someone who wants to understand patterns, build coping strategies, and feel more confident and in control. It also fits someone who wants relief from current symptoms or a longer-term change.

I want you to feel understood and respected, and to have a clear path. I am a licensed clinical psychologist in Florida, and I hold PSYPACT authority for interjurisdictional telepsychology, mobility number 15559. Confidentiality, creativity, compassion, and acceptance are the values I put on the work.

My Bachelor of Business Administration is from Wilfrid Laurier University. My BA in Psychology, magna cum laude, is from York University. My Florida psychologist licence number is PY10150. I have provided individual and group therapy in university and community mental health clinics and in regional and state psychiatric hospitals, and I now see people in private practice.
