About

Before becoming a psychologist, I worked as a biokineticist for ten years. This experience laid the foundation for my client-centred, holistic approach to mental healthcare and my work as a psychologist. I have been trained in various therapeutic modalities, and while I work holistically and integratively, I am oriented toward psychodynamic therapies and schema therapy in particular. 

In addition to working in an outpatient clinic serving the general public, I have experience as part of a comprehensive, multidisciplinary in-hospital team focused on addiction care and rehabilitation.

I am guided by integrity, curiosity, and a commitment to helping others find their way. If you’d like to know more, are curious about starting therapy, or are interested in using one of my services, please feel free to reach out.

I enjoy the outdoors, and my hobbies include running, hiking and cycling.
