Specialized Training and Continuing Education

I'm very passionate about helping people navigate OCD and anxiety-related disorders using evidence-based approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP), and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT).

I continue to pursue ongoing training, professional development, and consultation in these areas to continue growing my skills and deepen what I am able to provide my clients.
