issues including depression, anxiety, trauma,
interpersonal relationships, chronic pain, and
addiction. His work and life experiences inform his
understanding of the many challenges that arise in
different stages of life.
APPROACH
Jay is trained in different therapeutic approaches
including cognitive-behavioural, psychodynamic,
interpersonal, and dialectical behavioural therapy, to
help clients identify and work through maladaptive
patterns that can affect relationships, block goals, and
lead to negative emotional states such as depression and
anxiety. His non-judgmental, compassionate, and sincere
style facilitates the therapeutic process and helps
clients identify personal goals and generate strategies
toward positive change.
Jay is trained in a variety of assessment tests and
measures, which he provides under the supervision of Dr.
