At Clear Path Solutions we have a core team of five Psychologists and Psychotherapists. Our professionals have a broad range of training and experience. We also have some associates and interns who work with us on a part-time basis.
I am a Cofounder and Principal with Clear Path Solutions and a registered psychologist with the College of Psychologists in Ontario. As well, I am an Assistant Professor in the Faculty of Medicine of the University of Toronto, a Consultant to the Psychological Trauma Program at the Centre for Addiction and Mental Health in Toronto, and a member of the Canadian Academy of Psychologists in Disability Assessment. Before I started Clear Path Solutions I was Director of the Stress, Pain and Chronic Disease Clinic at Toronto General Hospital.
I have studied and practiced Buddhist meditation techniques for over 35 years. In 1987, at Toronto General Hospital, I developed the first Canadian hospital-based mindfulness meditation program. Over 1,000 patients participated in the program. In the past 10 years I have taught seminars and workshops on ways to integrate meditation techniques into individual psychotherapy practice. I also provide individual supervision and mentoring to health professionals.
Sometimes I am asked if I teach mindfulness meditation to all of my patients. The answer is no. I do my best to provide each person who comes to see me with the treatment approach that will be best for their situation and goals. I offer cognitive behaviour therapy, hypnosis, solution focused therapy and other techniques as well as meditation-based therapies. I also conduct psychological assessments. See the assessment page of our website for more information about the assessments that we offer. Assessments page >

Prior to founding Clear Path Solutions, I was the Director of the Health Psychology Internship Program at Toronto General Hospital and a consultant to their HIV/AIDS Clinic.

My work has increasingly focused on the development of solution-focused approaches to addressing clients’ needs. As a result, I have found an increasing demand for my services among professionals, senior managers, and executives, who are seeking coaching for effective ways to solve work, marital and family concerns, as well as manage stress, overcome addictions, enhance performance, and change careers.
