With years of experience in hospital clinics and private practice, as well as personal experiences as a caregiver, my practice focuses on the health and well-being of those taking care of a loved one with an illness or disability.

I received my Ph.D. in Clinical Psychology from The University of Western Ontario and am registered with the College of Psychologists of Ontario. My approach to treatment is grounded in evidence-based theory but I individualize treatments to the needs of each client. Drawing on Cognitive Behavioural Theory (CBT), as well as client-centered, solution-focused, and strength-based techniques, I work collaboratively with you to tailor interventions to help support you along your caregiving journey. 

I have been published in both medical and psychological journals and given numerous expert lectures for regional and national caregiving organizations as well as professional development groups. 

From personal caregiving experience, I have consulted to and advocated at local, regional, provincial and national forums regarding the importance of patient/family partnership and system improvement. I have also taught medical trainees and clinicians on how to best communicate and partner with patients and families.
