I am a psychologist registered with the College of Psychologists of Ontario. I am accepting new therapy and assessment clients. I work with adults with a range of challenges (e.g., depression, generalized anxiety, social anxiety, trauma/PTSD, obsession-compulsions, and executive dysfunction) impacting their relationships, academics, work, and general life functioning. Primarily from a CBT perspective, and drawing upon other approaches (MBCT, DBT, ACT, etc.) as needed, I aim to provide you with support, help you build skills to make meaningful changes in your life, and help you build skills to maintain your wellbeing over time.
I am a warm, empathic, and respectful therapist who balances listening, asking questions, and goal-directed strategizing to build upon your strengths. My approach is collaborative and adaptive, changing as needed with your goals. I also provide diagnostic assessments of emotional and social concerns to assist with targeted treatment and accommodations.
I would like to support you in your next steps toward change and improving your mental health. More info about me and the therapy and psychodiagnostic assessment services I offer is available on my website (innerlightpsychology.ca). Please reach out if you have questions or would like to book a brief free consultation. I look forward to working with you.
