ABOUT
I'm a licensed Clinical and Health Psychologist with a PhD in Clinical Psychology and a Diploma in Health Psychology from York University, an MA in Counselling Psychology from the University of Toronto, and a BA in Psychology (Honours) from the University of Ottawa. I’ve published research and book chapters on topics such as chronic pain, cardiac health, and psychological well-being, and have presented at national and international conferences.
Alongside my academic work, I bring long-term experience working in private practice, where I’m committed to evidence-based, personalized care helping individuals and couples feel supported, understood, and empowered to create meaningful change.
