Heart of the Matter Psychological Services strives toward an anti-oppressive, anti-racist
stance in the delivery of psychological services. We are constantly working
to deepen our understanding of the intersection between race and other
oppressed identities and psychology and how best to use that understanding
to facilitate healing in our clients and in our communities.

Welcome!
Looking for help when you are in distress can be a very puzzling and lonely time. I have had the profound privilege to journey alongside people from all walks of life who are suffering and are in need of the kind of support that encourages and helps them build a life worth living. I provide psychological assessment, consultation, and treatment to children, adolescents, and adults struggling with a variety of difficulties. I treat depression, anxiety, relationship difficulties, complex trauma, serious and persistent mental illnesses, chronic pain, ADHD, learning difficulties, problematic eating/eating disorders, substance abuse, and personality disorders.
“Helping You Find Your Way“
Specialties: Consulting on issues of diversity and equity; parent support; the psychological impact of anti black racism/white supremacy; improving family relationships; Borderline Personality Disorder; complex trauma; intimate relationship struggles; emotion dysregulation; supporting marginalized groups/social justice; depression; anxiety.
I practice integratively – this means I have been trained in several treatment modalities, which allows me to provide an individualized treatment plan. I have been trained in psychodynamic/relational methods, emotion-focused therapy, attachment-informed methods, mindfulness-based interventions, dialectical behaviour therapy, family systems theory, and cognitive behavioural therapy.
