I work primarily with children, adolescents, and families having difficulty with stress, trauma, (including trauma related to torture experience), depression and anxiety, relationship issues. I also work with new Canadians who struggle with adjustment to the North American culture. I provide both psychological assessment and treatment. I am eclectic with a client-centred approach to therapy. I employ evidence-based strategies, such as Interpersonal Therapy (IPT), Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT) as well as Family Systems. Additionally, I offer Psycho-Educational Diagnostic Assessments that help to clarify issues related to Learning Difficulties and other school-related concerns.

My goal in psychotherapy is to see my clients develop strategies that help them to effectively deal with life challenges. I bring to partnership relationship with my clients compassion, warmth, empathy, respect and understanding, seasoned by my 20+ years of experience of working with individuals and families from different cultural backgrounds, in Canada, USA and Internationally.

My experience of offering psychological services to families (refugees/new immigrants) who struggle with adaptation issues, adds value to my practice. In addition, as a Christian Psychologist, I also offer service to clients who prefer a Christ-centered approach.
