The privilege of a lifetime is to become who you truly are.
Although Carl Jung wrote this 100 years ago, it is as significant today as ever before. Remaining true to who we are is an important part of our life’s journey. My role as a psychologist is to guide you through this journey with compassion, insight, and clarity.
What matters is not the meaning of life in general, but rather the specific meaning of a person's life at a given moment.

I graduated with a Ph.D. in Psychology at the University of Ottawa in 1993, and further trained at the Adler Graduate Professional School. Along with my training, I have over 30 years experience in the field of mental health and psychology.
I am registered with the Ontario College of Psychologists for practice in individual adult psychology in Ontario, and am a member of the Ontario Psychological Association, Canadian Psychological Association, and the Ottawa Academy of Psychologists.
Because I have witnessed and experienced a profound reach of life stories, I am comfortable working with all sorts of issues and circumstances, including complex emotional trauma, grief, and serious mental illness.
Compassion becomes real when we recognize our shared humanity.
Nothing goes away until it has taught us what we need to know.
There are many approaches to therapy, with some more effective than others for promoting lasting, personal growth.
My approach to psychotherapy combines insight-oriented therapy with cognitive and behavioural strategies (CBT). With compassion and discovery, we will work through your concerns in a meaningful way.
Regardless of the issue, big or small, the focus will be on the concerns raised by the client.
All sessions are conducted virtually through a secure, healthcare video platform
