I am a general adult psychiatrist and geriatric psychiatrist licensed to practice in Ontario. I completed my residency training at Queen’s University in Kingston, Ontario, followed by my sub-specialty training in Geriatric Psychiatry also at Queen’s University.

My special interests include: cognitive assessment, mood and anxiety disorders, care-giver related issues, and holistic health care.

I incorporate modalities of: interpersonal, cognitive-behavioral, and dialectical-behavioral therapies.

Please note: Due to constrictions of time and to best utilize services I will not be providing new ASD or ADHD diagnostic evaluations. These are best achieved through psychological testing and multidisciplinary care.

Specialties: medication management; depression; anxiety; grief and loss; life transitions; relationship issues; identity issues; family/caregiver issues; women’s issues; stress/burnout; mood disorders; other healthcare professionals; gifted or high-performing individuals; executives; workplace issues; BIPOC issues; immigrant and culturally-sensitive issues and more.
Practice Populations: adults (18+), with a special interest in adults 55+ in age.

Please note: We currently only provide psychiatric services for patients that are 18+.

Please note: For our psychiatry services, we do not complete WSIB assessments as our psychiatrist is not a WSIB provider. The psychiatrist provides assessment and treatment for OHIP-covered services and is not a substitute for a disability assessment that would be through WSIB. In these cases, notes after our OHIP-covered assessment are sent to your primary care provider (family doctor or nurse practitioner) with recommendations for them to implement. Your primary care provider can answer any questions WSIB may have based on the consult notes sent to them as they are likely the ones assisting with this process. Thank you for your understanding.

Please note that I do NOT accept direct appointments from any patients. To book with me, please have your primary care provider (family doctor or nurse practitioner) send a referral via fax to: 343-451-6461.

Please ensure that your primary care provider includes all of the following components in the referral including:

• Up-to-date patient contact information

• Reason for referral

• Previous psychiatric assessments and medication trials

• Cognitive assessments

• Investigations – bloodwork/ECG/head imaging

• Patient’s valid OHIP card

• Physician or Nurse Practitioner’s OHIP billing number

• Any other pertinent information

Please note that if all of the required information outlined above is not received, it could lead to a delay or cancellation in your referral being processed.
