| Welcome to this website. I am very excited to announce a major expansion to my practice, one that has kept me up at night thinking about how to improve the health of Canadians. To learn more about this new area, click on the Behavioral Health Doctor button. Of course, I shall continue with my practice as a psychologist, and you can learn about the effectiveness of psychotherapy, and how it works, by going to the button for Registered Psychologist. Finally, another major step forward is combining these two areas into the development of the Healthy Heart program, a holistic approach to depression and anxiety. This innovative program addresses 5 dimensions of people's lives to overcome these widespread problems. Select the Healthy Heart button to learn more about this comprehensive and exciting program. In order to accommodate these changes, I am moving my practice. Click on the button for New Location to find out why and where I am moving. |
