I am a former Family Physician with 35 years of patient care experience from my private practice in Newmarket, Ontario. The most meaningful aspect of my Family Practice was supporting my patients through their crises in life and guiding them towards living lives of enhanced physical and emotional health. In 2023, I closed my family practice to transition to Medical Psychotherapy. 

Since shifting to Mental Health, I have maintained a thriving broadly eclectic psychotherapy practice, focusing on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Solution-Focused Therapy, and Dialectical Behaviour Therapy. I have obtained certification as a Trained Teacher of Mindful Self-Compassion.

As your medical psychotherapist, I would place a high priority on having a genuine and empathic relationship with you in order to help you identify what you are missing in your life, what you would like to work on, and the best way of living a meaningful life that is uniquely your own, aligned with all values that you hold important. Toward this end, we would also collaborate on employing your unique strengths, abilities, and personal resources.

I believe strongly that we all have the potential within ourselves to live a purposeful and meaningful life. It is an honour and in fact my life’s mission to accompany you, my friend, on this journey towards crafting a life of enduring value and purpose.

Please note that I can only accept Ontario residents for psychotherapy**
