I am a Registered Psychotherapist in private practice, working with individuals and couples. As a former member of the Canadian Armed Forces, I have a particular passion for supporting first responders and public safety personnel. My background combines lived experience in a service-oriented profession, extensive clinical work with first responders, research involving first responder families, and longstanding personal connections within these communities. This experience has provided me with a deep understanding of the culture, operational stressors, relationship challenges, and mental health concerns that often accompany careers dedicated to serving others.

Education:
• Bachelor of Arts Honours in Psychology – Concentration in Health Psychology and Well-Being, Carleton University
• Master of Arts in Counselling and Spirituality, Saint Paul University

I integrate the following therapy approaches in my work:
• Self-In-Relationship-Psychotherapy (psychodynamic and psychoanalytic)
• Unified Protocol (CBT)
• Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)
• Psychobiological Approach to Couples Therapy (PACT)

Areas of focus with individuals:
• Trauma
• Childhood trauma
• Moral injury
• Anxiety
• Depression

Areas of focus with couples:
• Communication
• Infidelity and betrayal
• Intimacy and sexuality
