Registered Psychologist | B.Sc. | M.Ed. | Therapist |

I have 25 years’ experience in Adolescent and Child Mental Health.

Specializing in:

~ Childhood and Adolescent Therapy aged 2 -20

I understand how emotional and challenging self-reflection and developing new patterns of relating to one-self and to others can be. My promise is to guide parents, children, and adolescents through the change process with compassion and collaboration, to create lifelong emotional well-being

ApProach

I am incredibly privileged to be able to sit with individuals and share a space with the emotions, experiences, and struggles that come up in a session.

I like to create an enjoyable, safe, calm and playful therapy environment for children and adolescents incorporating talk, the arts, play therapy, sand-tray, bibliotherapy, and games.

My goal is to make sure that individuals feel worthy, seen, and safe with whatever comes up in session.
