                         false and derogatory ratings about me online. Please click

​​My website presents information about the type of psychology work I do, my training background, approach to assessment and therapy, as well as my education and clinical experience. 

​

I specialize with adults in both individual and couple therapy. I treat persons experiencing a wide range of presenting problems, including:

​

     • Depression (e.g., symptoms of sadness, withdrawal, sleep problems)

     • Anxiety (e.g., feeling nervous, uneasy, worrying)

     • Couple therapy, including assessment (see below)

     • Well-Understood Assertiveness and Anger Management

     • Stress Management and Job Burnout

     • Self-esteem and Identity Issues

     • Grief and Loss

     • Life Adjustments and Transitions

​

Individuals who have problems with depression and anxiety will often also experience superficial and/or conflicted relationships. Effective individual therapy must address both of these areas: 1) individual - e.g., behavioural (and cognitive) therapy, including increased rationality to maintain longterm positive changes and also to enhance Reason-Emotion balance, and 2) relationships - well-understood assertiveness and also learning the ‘whats’ and ‘hows’ of healthy human interactions.

​

In couple therapy, there is a comprehensive assessment which includes feedback, and therapy itself employs a sound emotion-focused/attachment approach, and sometimes one or more focused Cognitive-Behavioural interventions.

​

Given that frequently the two most important sources of good mental health are having a job/career that you enjoy and find meaning in, as well as being in a healthy romantic relationship, I also provide career assessment and counselling for persons looking for greater job satisfaction and purpose, and for those who may have had the misfortune of experiencing job burnout.
