About Me

I completed my Doctorate of Counselling Psychology in 2017 and did my year-long residency in Regina Saskatchewan for the Saskatchewan Health Authority. There, I completed rotations in: mental health treatment (with specific focus on anxiety disorders), neurocognitive screening/assessment, and rehabilitation (at the Wascana Rehabilitation Centre).

 

I have been working as a fully licensed psychologist since 2019. I spent the next 4 years working in multidisciplinary rehabilitation psychology. In 2021, I transitioned into insurance consulting which has expanded to include both work in both BC and Alberta. 

​

I also have my own psychological treatment practice focusing on the treatment of adults in the areas of mood and anxiety disorders, trauma and stress-related disorders, as well as chronic pain/chronic medical conditions. I have special interest and expertise in short/long term disability leave for mental health conditions and assisting in return-to-work processes following mental health leaves.

​

I am passionate about increasing timely access to mental health care in our province and strive to provide a high level of evidence-based psychological service on Vancouver Island and to other areas of BC via telehealth.

​

In my personal time, I enjoy spending quality time with my family, hiking, watching basketball, and enjoying all the beauty this island has to offer.
