(Certified Child & Adolescent Trauma Professional) I have been working as Certified Canadian Counsellor since 2017, registered with the Canadian Counselling and Psychotherapy Association, working in both individual counselling and group therapy settings.

I am a Registered Psychologist who specializes in working with children and adolescents. In trying to best understand the child or adolescent, I like to understand who they are within the context of the environment in which they live and the strength of their closest relationships. My practice is informed using attachment and developmental theory, and my goal is to offer support and guidance to those trying to navigate through the dynamics of childhood and adolescence. Additionally, I offer parent consultation to provide parents insight into their child's development and encourage attachment focused parenting practices.

Experiencing significant changes and pressures during adolescence can be something hard to navigate. These pressures can be centered around friends, school, and family issues. This heavy load can manifest in many different ways and can cause many teens to act out, pull away from family, and show signs of mental health issues. If you noticed your teen is having changes in behavior, changes to their daily activity, personality changes, mood swings, decline in their sport performance or other favorite activities, it may be time to seek some help.
