I focus on helping motivated students and professionals manage burnout, anxiety, and depression. I employ techniques from a number of different therapeutic modalities including Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Relational Life Therapy, and Narrative Therapy, as well as using more classic psychotherapeutic techniques.
After working with high-performing professionals for over 15 years in the IT industry, and as a former Software Development Program Manager, I have a deep understanding and appreciation for the challenges that many STEM students are faced with. Helping clients improve their ability to navigate complex life decisions and manage stress to avoid burnout are key elements of my full-time practice. Life can be very demanding and, in my experience, having additional support can really make a difference. If you are thinking of reaching out, please do. I would be happy to meet with you and discuss how I may be able to help.
I specialize in couples/marriage counselling.
For students who cannot afford my fee, I am able to reduce the fee to $ 190/session, but they need to ask me for it (or I will assume they will be paying my standard fee).
I am a clinical psychologist as such I basically treat several issues. I do not treat PTSD, OCD, eating or sexual disorders; nor do I work with WSIB or MVA cases.
Anything else you would like a student to know: Good portion of my case load consist of students from both universities and I worked at UW at the counselling services at the beginning of my career. I have a good understanding of students' needs and issues.
I am a Registered Psychotherapist with the College of Registered Psychotherapists of Ontario. I have a Masters in Counselling Psychology and have been in practice for the past 19 years primarily addressing issues of mental health and addiction.
