I'm a Registered Psychotherapist who has been working in the mental health field for over 20 years with a focus on OCD and the Related Disorders (OCDR) which includes body dysmorphia, hoarding, trichotillomania (hair-pulling disorder), and excoriation (skin-picking) disorder. As the first therapist at the FW. Anxiety Disorders Centre at Sunnybrook Health Sciences Centre, I have trained and worked with some of the most knowledgeable and passionate experts in the field of OCDR.
I have extensive experience providing individual and group therapy for mood and anxiety disorders, with expertise in OCDRs, major depressive disorder, and anxiety (Social Anxiety, Generalized Anxiety Disorder, Health Anxiety) and ADHD.

This means that therapy can look different for each individual. For OCD or anxiety, we may do Exposure and Response-Prevention (ERP), the gold-standard treatment for these issues. If we're targeting ADHD, a session might include "body doubling", goal-setting, or skill-practice. And, sometimes you may just need a safe and supportive space to talk. Sometimes, we may need to "make space for" past traumatic experiences.
My approach to therapy is trauma-informed. Therapy will include ideas and methods from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive-Behaviour Therapy (CBT) Mindfulness, Somatic Therapy, and Internal Family Systems.
