I have worked with individuals experiencing anxiety, anger-related concerns, major depressive disorder, mood-related difficulties, obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD), stress, and difficulties with emotional regulation. I provide Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), DBT, and Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT), using structured, evidence-based approaches tailored to each client’s clinical needs.
