Are you feeling overwhelmed and stressed by the demands of life? Finding yourself feeling anxious, angry, or depressed? Have you been dealing with trauma, or pain or a chronic illness? Would you like to increase your career and life satisfaction, as well as have more fulfilling relationships with friends and family? We will work together within a warm and caring environment to achieve your personal goals. We will focus on your goals using therapeutic approaches that have been proven to be effective, including cognitive-behavioural therapy (CBT), mindfulness-based cognitive therapy, and experiential approaches.

My specialty is in helping people to develop the important emotional and coping skills that make up “emotional intelligence”. Emotional intelligence has consistently been linked to having more satisfying relationships, positive coping styles, academic and career success, increased mental health and physical well-being, as well as overall life satisfaction.

My doctorate (PhD; University of Toronto), was awarded a scholarship by the Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council of Canada. I also hold Master of Education (2003) and Master of Arts (2001) degrees.
