Not Accepting New Clients

I earned my M.Sc. in Clinical Psychology from Acadia University in 2001 and have been

practicing for over 20 years, having worked in both the public and private sectors. I offer

assessment, treatment, and consultation services.

I see clients who present with a range of issues, such as self-esteem problems, depression,

anxiety, relationship issues, life stressors, and trauma. PTSD and dissociative disorders are

areas of special interest, and I have over 15 years of extensive training and experience in

treating and assessing complex trauma-related disorders. I often work with first responders

who have had repeated trauma exposures.

My style is collaborative with treatment paced according to the needs of each client. I draw

upon Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) Therapy, Deep Brain

Reorienting (DBR) Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioral

Therapy (CBT), aspects of psychodynamic therapy, attachment theory, and the Theory of

Structural Dissociation of the Personality (TSDP).

As a provider for Veterans Affairs Canada (VAC), I conduct disability assessments for veterans

and law enforcement officers, assessing functional impairment due to operational stress and

injury.

As an EMDR-Approved Consultant, I offer consultation services to clinicians within the clinical

area of complex trauma and dissociation. Consultation services vary based on the needs of the

clinician, ranging from a one-time meeting for peer supervision or to monthly meetings for

EMDR certification.
