Registered Psychologist

I’m a Registered Psychologist (since 2013) who specializes in chronic health issues, cancer, grief and loss, trauma, and anxiety—and I’m a bit of a psychology nerd. I don’t believe in one-size-fits-all therapy. Instead, I tailor the process to you—your personality, your needs, your goals. I work from a collaborative point of view and am open to feedback to make sure the work we’re doing helps you. I’m transparent, compassionate, and not afraid to laugh or get real in session. I work with people from all walks of life.

What is something interesting or quirky about you?

I’m obsessed with astrophotography. I spend way too much time staring at the night sky and trying to capture it. It’s made me really appreciate winter, since the early darkness means I get more time to shoot. There’s something incredibly calming about looking up at space. It puts things in perspective and reminds me how small some of life’s problems really are in the grand scheme of things.
