I have experience supporting children, adolescents, and adults navigating a wide range of challenges. I am particularly interested in working with adolescents, young adults, and families facing concerns with anxiety, low mood, trauma, obsessive-compulsive disorder, emotion dysregulation, relationship difficulties, life transitions, body image concerns, and eating disorders.
My approach to therapy is evidence-based and integrative, drawing from frameworks such as Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and Emotion-Focused Family Therapy (EFFT). I believe that no single approach fits every person, so I flexibly tailor treatment to each individual’s unique needs, strengths, and personal values. I am committed to being trauma-informed, neurodiversity-affirming, and bringing a Health at Every Size and anti-stigma lens to the treatment of eating disorders and body image concerns. I strive to create a space that feels warm, relaxed, and collaborative, where we can work through difficult moments together and create meaningful change.
In addition to therapy, I have experience conducting psychoeducational and psychodiagnostic assessments to help individuals and families better understand potential diagnoses, identify personal strengths, and inform next steps in treatment.
I received my Doctorate in Clinical Psychology (Psy.D.) from Memorial University in St. John’s, Newfoundland, and completed my predoctoral residency with the Northern Ontario Psychology Internship Consortium (NORPIC) in Thunder Bay, Ontario. Throughout my training, I worked across diverse settings including hospitals, community mental health centres, university counselling services, and private practices. My dissertation research examined the relationship between weight stigma, eating disorders, and mental health, which continues to inform my clinical work.
