Following my education and training at McGill University, I returned home to Nova Scotia, where I have been practicing in both the public and private sectors of care as a registered psychologist for the last 12 years. In my practice, I strive to create a warm and collaborative space in which my clients can feel open to discuss their thoughts, feelings, and goals, safely and without judgment. I offer treatment to adults for many different psychological and psychosocial challenges, including but not limited to:
- Anxiety
- Depression (Mood Disorders)
- Chronic Pain
- Trauma/ PTSD (Post Traumatic Stress Disorder)
- Addictions
- Workplace Issues (Stress, Burnout, Bullying).
I have a special interest in working with Veterans, members of the Canadian Armed Forces, and first responders. A large portion of my clinical practice entails providing comprehensive psychological assessments to assist veterans with their mental health applications for Veterans Affairs Canada.
Because every individual is unique, I adhere to an integrative approach to treatment, drawing upon Cognitive-Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and Mindfulness Therapy interventions. I welcome the opportunity to speak with you, to learn a bit about your treatment interests, and discuss how my approaches to care may help.
I welcome the opportunity to speak with you, and to learn a bit more about your challenges and how we may address these challenges.
