I’m a therapist (RCC #26888) and trained OCD clinician specializing in the treatment of OCD, anxiety, and related conditions. I was born and raised in South Africa before moving to Victoria, BC, where I completed my Master of Counselling degree.

My Story

What drew me to this work was my own experience with OCD, anxiety, and body dysmorphic disorder (BDD). It is a privilege to now support others as they navigate their own way forward.

While every person’s experience is unique, I understand how overwhelming, scary, confusing, isolating, and exhausting these struggles can feel. Because of that, I strive to create a therapeutic environment grounded in compassion, non-judgment, and genuine understanding.

I believe meaningful change happens when people feel safe enough to face what they’ve been avoiding, while also feeling understood and supported along the way. My goal is to come alongside you as we work toward the life you want to build.

My Approach

My approach is evidence-based, collaborative, relational, and tailored to your hopes and goals, with some humour when it fits.

My primary treatment modalities for OCD and anxiety are Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT). These approaches support clients in gradually facing feared thoughts, feelings, sensations, or situations while learning to respond in ways that are more flexible, values-based, and aligned with the life they want to build.

ERP is considered the gold-standard psychological treatment for OCD, and ACT helps clients make room for difficult internal experiences while continuing to move toward the relationships, activities, and values that matter most to them.

In addition to my work with OCD, anxiety, and BDD, my clinical experience and training have included supporting people through addiction, complex trauma, depression, relationship struggles, and shame. I am a trained SPACE clinician (spacetreatment.net), and I offer psychoeducation sessions for family members who want to better support a loved one struggling with OCD or BDD.

Continued Learning

I’m a professional member of the International OCD Foundation and am committed to continually learning and growing as a clinician. I regularly seek out post-graduate training, consultation, and professional development to stay current with evidence-based approaches to OCD, anxiety, and related conditions.

I believe effective therapy requires ongoing learning. My commitment to continued education helps ensure that the care I provide is grounded in current research and best practices, allowing me to offer treatment that is both compassionate and evidence-based.

Outside the Therapy Room

When I’m not working, I enjoy spending time in my community and with friends, watching movies, and being outside. You can also often find me hanging out with Oreo, my clinical associate, who also happens to be a cat.

I look forward to meeting you and coming alongside you as you take these next steps.
