Licensed Psychologist specializing in the clinical treatment of Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD) and anxiety disorders.
My Approach
I am a Registered Psychologist offering evidence-based therapy for individuals experiencing OCD, anxiety disorders, and phobias. My clinical focus is on supporting high-pressure professionals and parents navigating their mental health while juggling demanding life roles.
Most of my clients are individuals who:
Experience distressing, intrusive thoughts that are difficult to control
Have been “ruminators” for years and are exhausted by overthinking
Are healthcare workers, first responders, or other professionals whose mental health is tied to their occupation
Parents (or parents-to-be) experiencing life-disrupting anxiety or fear of childbirth
Have not experienced much success with traditional counselling or “talk therapy”
Services
-
I offer clinical assessment, diagnosis, and treatment of Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD). Those who seek treatment for OCD might experience the following:
Intrusive thoughts that are bizarre, unwanted, and/or frightening (obsessions) followed by a behaviour to “neutralize” these thoughts to feel better (compulsions)
Excessive, difficult-to-control doubt and “what ifs”
An overwhelming need for “certainty” and/or “exactness”
Overwhelming feelings of disgust
-
Anxiety and phobias are generally experienced as overwhelming, difficult to control, fearful thoughts and feelings that are disruptive of everyday life. Those who seek treatment at my clinic often seek support with the following:
Rumination and difficult-to-control worry about specific or multiple things
Medical, blood, or needle phobias
Social anxiety
Health anxiety
Phobia related to giving birth, becoming pregnant

First Responders (i.e. those in EMS, police, fire, and/or emergency dispatchers) are subjected to daily, high-stakes situations for a living. A side-effect of these roles is increased risk of anxiety and post-traumatic stress. I support first responders with navigating:
Stress and trauma that accompany difficult calls
Intrusive thoughts about past work-related experiences, or relentless “what ifs” about safety and competency
Moral injury and systemic issues
I also offer maintenance support for first responders who want to pre-emptively cultivate resilience for the work
-
I have lived experience with - and an appreciation of - the culture that comes with high-pressure, high responsibility roles. Professionals typically seen at my clinic include:
Nurses, Veterinary staff, Physicians, and other healthcare professionals
Lawyers
Corporate Executives
Academics and Researchers
Public officials
Therapeutic support can help you navigate anxiety and build professional confidence.
-
Parenting is emotionally intense and complex, particularly for very new parents. Many people also experience extreme fear of giving birth despite wanting children. If you’re a parent or a parent-to-be, you may experience the following:
Constant fear of something happening to your child
Worrying you’re not doing enough or “messing up”
Intrusive thoughts about accidents, harm, or safety
Extreme fear of getting pregnant or giving birth
Therapy can help you regain the confidence to navigate these thoughts and parent from a place of confidence instead of fear.
