I am a registered provisional psychologist with a doctorate degree in Clinical Psychology from the University of Prince Edward Island. I recently completed my residency with the CPA-accredited Regina Clinical Psychology Residency Program with the Saskatchewan Health Authority. In this setting, I delivered both assessment and intervention services in areas of community-based mental health and rehabilitation. The individuals I work with have various mental health concerns including anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship issues, and obsessive-compulsive behaviours. I utilize evidence-based approaches such as Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help clients make lasting changes. I enjoy various areas of assessment, including mental health and psychoeducational assessments – it is my goal to collaborate with clients in building a deeper understanding of the factors contributing to current challenges while acknowledging their unique strengths and abilities.

My role is to work with individuals to address their concerns and goals for therapy in ways in which they feel empowered and understood. It takes courage to take the first steps into therapy and my desire is for people to experience a sense of hope and freedom by stepping into the driver’s seat of their lives and breaking through the barriers that have been holding them back. I consider it a great privilege to support people on this journey and I aim to bring understanding, empathy, and authenticity to the relationships I develop with clients.
