Areas of Experience

I provide psychological services to individuals, couples, families and groups for a variety of issues including:

• Depression & Anxiety
• Self-esteem Issues
• Relationship Counselling (e.g., communication and intimacy problems)
• Personal and Work-Related Stress
• Anger management
• Chronic unhappiness (e.g., feelings of alienation and despair)
• Grief Counselling (e.g., grief and loss due to death, divorce)
• Past and Recent Trauma / Abuse (e.g. post-traumatic stress)
• Family of Origin Issues
• Parenting Issues
• Adjustment to Physical Health Concerns
• Terminal Illness (e.g., HIV, Cancer)
• Self-injury (e.g., cutting)
• Substance abuse

I also provide services for Health Care Workers, Psychotherapists and Other Professionals for issues such as:

• Burnout
• Secondary and vicarious traumatization

Part of my practice specializes in providing confidential psychological services to health care workers and other professionals. "Care for the care-giver" is often overlooked until serious emotional and health concerns arise. In my work with professionals, I find that sensitivity to issues of shame, trust and privacy is essential otherwise the therapeutic work is stymied.
