I bring a youthful spirit and open minded approach to my work, making it easy to connect with young adults, and adults at all stages of life. Nothing shocks me — I believe in meeting each person where they are, with curiosity, compassion, and respect.

With over 24 years of experience, I specialize in supporting clients with depression, anxiety, ADHD, PTSD, borderline personality disorder, and substance use concerns using approaches such as Psychodynamic, Mindfulness, CBT, and DBT. I also work closely with young athletes to help them manage pressure, build resilience, and maintain mental well-being, and I enjoy supporting women as they navigate the emotional and physical changes of menopause.

Trained in South Africa, I’m registered in both Ontario and Nova Scotia, and I’m proud to serve clients here in Halifax as part of the Green Leaf Psychological team.

​My goal is to create a safe, welcoming space where you can explore challenges, discover strengths, and move toward the life you want.

If you have any questions, please reach out to me and I will reply as soon as possible :)

I am a Clinical and Counselling Psychologist with The Nova Scotia Board of Examiners in Psychology and a Registered Canadian Art-Therapist with the Canadian Art-Therapy Association.  

Completing my undergraduate degree in psychology at the University of South Africa (UNISA), I then took a 2 year post-graduate program in Art-Therapy at the Kutenai Art Therapy Institute (KATI) in British Columbia. Following this, I completed my Masters in counselling psychology at Yorkville University in Fredericton. 

Since 2016, I have worked in community services, a hospital, counselling centres, private clinics, schools, and an assisted living facility. This was in urban and rural settings, including first-nations communities in the NWT, BC, AB and NS.

Therapy can support you through your struggle to find relief and well-being. I am  comfortable offering therapy for many different concerns or ailments. However, I am well versed with Grief/Loss, Trauma and PTSD, Depression, Anxiety and Panic, Parenting/Family, Child, Relationship issues, Abuse, Self-esteem, Personality concerns, Anger, Conflicts, Cultural adjustment, Financial issues, Health issues, Loneliness, Motivation, Perfectionism, Procrastination, Self-harm, Sexual assault, Shyness, Sleep issues, Stress, Suicide, and Adjustment related matters. 

In therapy, I work with you to discover and transform the deep, unresolved matters that have caused you trouble through a humanistic, phenomenological, creative process of self-discovery and redefinition. In this, I integrate Narrative, ACT, Mindfulness-based, Somatic, CBT, Gestalt, Psychodynamic, and Strength-based approaches. In therapy, I understand that it is very important to be supportive, empathic, and compassionate, while also recognising that growth sometimes requires being challenged and addressing difficult topics. I believe in sharing humanity, but also in the application of science - I aspire to be a well rounded practitioner. I do not profess to have all the answers, but I do believe we can discover the way. It is an honour to accompany clients into the core of their wounds. As we journey to find missing parts, grieve what is lost, mend what is broken, and find unencumbered, clear ways to weave a vibrant, joyous, and whole self.

I also facilitate assessments for ADHD, Trauma / PTSD, Autism, Learning disorders, Dyslexia, IQ, Academic concerns, Giftedness, and Psycho-social or general psychological related matters - for both children and adults. I put an exceptional amount of work into my assessments and take great care to be detail-oriented, thorough, and accurate. Assessment can help you clarify, understand, and find the right support for what is troubling you - and can be incredibly illuminating. 

I’m glad to be of service and welcome you to get in touch.

I received my Bachelor of Science with Honours in Psychology from Acadia University and my Master of Arts in Clinical Psychology and Neuropsychology from York University. I have experience working in university and community clinics providing psychotherapy and neuropsychological assessments, as well as on large-scale clinical trials doing psychodiagnostic assessments and interventions.

I am foundationally trained in client-centered therapy, and constantly strive to provide an environment that is genuine, empathic, accepting, safe, and totally individualized. My work with clients consists of evidence-based psychotherapy approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Emotion Focused Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, and Solution Focused Therapy.

That being said, I leave lots of room for humour, creativity, play, and collaboration in my work with clients, as these can often enhance trust and build a strong and meaningful therapeutic connection. I tailor and create a new therapy for every client I see. My goal is to work with each client to meet them where they are and develop a plan that feels attainable and that reflects their uniqueness as an individual.

I am currently accepting therapy referrals for adults (18+) facing challenges such as anxiety, depression, panic, relationship issues, health anxiety, phobias, etc. I also have dual training in Neuropsychology and am thus interested in providing therapy to individuals struggling with neurocognitive considerations (for e.g., concussion anxiety, post-concussive identity issues, ADHD, etc.). I am also accepting referrals for adult (18+) ADHD assessments.

I am always happy to answer any questions or address any concerns you may have, so please feel free to contact me anytime!
