Master Practitioner and Trainer of Accelerated Resolution Therapy
Owner & Clinical Director

specialties

I’ll work with you to help find the root causes of the problems you’re dealing with and explore new solutions.

Addiction

Harm-reduction focused, trauma informed, experienced in addiction medicine and various treatments

Trauma & PTSD

Treating trauma with some of the best therapies and most powerful tools currently available.

Mood & Personality Disorders

Practical solutions, tools and coping strategies for anxiety, depression, strong emotions, BPD, and more.

psychotherapy

psychotherapy is one of the best investments you can make in your mental health and wellbeing. A compassionate, collaborative approach helps you explore the root cause of problems and explore new ways of reacting to them, with a goal of long-term change. 

accessibility is important:

affordable rates available

Ability to pay should not affect access to quality mental health care. If you require an adjusted rate, we can discuss this. Feel free to book a “Sliding Scale Consult” on the online booking system.

bill your benefits

Rather than paying in full after the session, I can direct bill any of the dozens of benefit plans/inursance companies that use the Telus eClaims system.

other programs

I am the contracted Trauma Counsellor for CMHA Grey Bruce’s Men’s Program. If eligible, services could be covered by CMHA GB. Please see this link for more information

The developer of Accelerated Resolution Therapy’s nonprofit supports access to one ART session for veterans, first responders (paramedics, firefighters, EMS, police). Contact me for more information about this. 

clinical training

I am the first Ontario-based trainer in Accelerated Resolution Therapy, and I can travel throughout Canada to provide trainings, and am eager to partner with venues, employers and other clinicians who are both interested in training in ART and in becoming assistants at future trainings!
