I am a unique practitioner, in that I have a Masters degree in Educational Psychology focusing on life span developmental psychology and learning theory. I am trained in clinical and counselling specializations. I have been working with children, youth and families since the beginning of my career when I was registered as a psychologist in 2004. I have worked in the mental health area in community clinic settings and with community partners since the beginning of my career as a psychologist and as a leader. I believe that emotional wellness is key to enjoying a meaningful life at all ages and I welcome children, youth, adults and families to my practice.
I primarily work from a humanistic perspective in my practice. I believe that being genuine, non-judgmental and open-minded is key in psychotherapy. I use a variety of therapeutic modalities including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Solution Focused, Sand Tray, Mindfulness, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, EMDR, CBT-i for insomnia, and the Gottman Method for couples’ therapy. Often, I find an integrative approach allows me to uniquely meet the needs of each of my clients.
If you or your family member has an anxious/sensitive personality, are a perfectionist that worries too much, or find yourself over thinking everything we may be a great fit. If you simply need a safe place to work towards personal growth, work/life balance, or living your best life I would love to help you on your journey. If you are experiencing fertility setbacks that impact your identity or parenting challenges that others just don’t seem to understand, I would invite you to connect with me. If you are concerned about your child or youth’s anxiety, mood, or behavior or are experiencing family relationship difficulties, I have many years of experience that I can offer in these areas. With me, you will find empathy and an authentic relationship where you will feel comfortable being your true self or discovering who that may be.
