ABOUT ME
ABOUT ME
I am a Registered Psychologist (R.Psych.) and provide virtual psychological services (therapy and assessment) to adults across BC who are struggling with issues related to anxiety, worry/rumination, depression, anger, and stress. I work primarily from a cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) approach, and strive to develop a collaborative relationship to help clients address difficulties that are negatively impacting the quality of their lives. I pride myself on providing a safe, warm, non-judgmental, and inclusive environment for the clients I work with.
EXPERIENCE
I have over 15 years of clinical experience. I obtained my Ph.D. in Clinical Psychology (dual specialization in Clinical and Forensic Psychology) from John Jay College of Criminal Justice at the Graduate Center-City University of New York (APA-accredited). During my time in the program, I worked in many different community and outpatient/inpatient hospital settings including the Bronx Mental Health Court-TASC, the New York State Psychiatric Institute, Bellevue Hospital--Neuropsychology Unit, and a Bronx-based Juvenile Sex Offender Program. I then returned to Canada to complete my post-doctoral residency/internship at St. Joseph's Healthcare Hamilton (APA/CPA-accredited), completing rotations at the Anxiety Disorders Clinic, forensic unit, and schizophrenia unit. After my residency, I worked for several years providing mental health services at Correctional Services Canada (CSC) facilities. In 2017, I transitioned to teaching and started my part-time private practice, which I have enjoyed immensely!
