I have received additional training in sand tray therapy, play therapy, art based therapy, child parent relationship therapy, trauma and suicide assessment/prevention.
It is my belief that therapy is both a dialogue and collaborative relationship between the therapist and their clients. I aim to establish a safe, trusting and encouraging environment for my clients. However, I also strive towards building resiliency, raising self awareness and connecting my clients to a greater sense of community. I enjoy working with clients from all age groups (children, adolescents and adults). I have been offering therapeutic services in the community for 6 years.

Hello! I am a Registered Psychologist and Registered Play Therapy Supervisor, passionate about supporting children, youth, and parents during times of challenge. I feel that there is a great capacity for growth within the moments that feel the hardest. I am well-versed in working with children and youth who have experienced trauma, and supporting parents/caregivers in responding to behaviours associated with such experiences. I believe that while mental health challenges in childhood and adolescence can be impactful, early intervention can have a positive impact on long term development.

Grief is a deeply painful, lonely, and isolating experience. When someone we care about dies, our relationship ends in divorce, or we experience any of the other 40 forms of loss, we often feel unprepared and ill-equipped to deal with our emotions. The wonderful news is, grief does not have to be a life sentence of suffering. There are actionable tools that can help you to move beyond the pain caused by a loss in your life. Whether you are grieving due to a recent loss or a loss from long ago, it is never too soon or too late to heal your heart.
