PSYCHOLOGICAL ASSESSMENT
Current assessment services include psychometric assessment within the context of clinical case formulation and diagnosis, as related to mood, anxiety, trauma, and other conditions.
It takes tremendous courage and emotional strength to share our lives and experiences with others; I appreciate and respect your confidence in me. Our relationship is built on a foundation of compassion, security and trust, and together we can build a base set of skills and tools that will aid you in moving forward, increase your overall awareness, and enhance your ability to adapt to life's ever changing circumstances.
PSYCHOLOGICAL THERAPY
Therapy is a collaborative process. You are the expert in your life experiences. My knowledge stems from my education and ongoing training. Working together, we will formulate a plan that will help fulfill your goals and needs. Cognitive-behavioural therapies are the mainstay of interventions that I offer; this includes a spectrum of interventions and skills acquisition;
• Increased flexibility and stability in thinking
• Mindfulness, training for reallocating mental energy within attention
• Relaxation practices
• EMDR for processing emotions and memories associated with trauma, fear, guilt, anger and shame
• Gradual exposure to avoided/feared situations, stress inoculation
• Hypnosis
• I take direction from you, your understanding of your present circumstances and the issues you wish to address. In collaboration we will focus on approaches/strategies that are a good fit for addressing issues.
I can also help you to become more aware of your strengths and the challenges that you face for informing your direction and goals for therapy.

Henry David Thoreau
