I have had over twenty years experience in the mental health field, in health care, education, and as a Clinical Investigator with the Office of the Children's Lawyer.
I enjoy working with clients who are experiencing a difficult life transition, a mental health struggle such as anxiety or depression or who want to heal from past trauma. I enjoy working collaboratively with clients to develop treatment goals for personal growth, and to help individuals live a more authentic life. Evidence-based individual therapy can increase self-awareness, resiliency and overall happiness. I work with couples experiencing turbulence in their relationship, to recover from infidelity, to recreate that spark or improve communication. I also specialize in family therapy and work with children and youth.

Mes domaines de spécialisation comprennent, l'anxiété, la dépression, le stress, l'affirmation de soi, la confiance en soi, le deuil, les problèmes relationnels, la parentalité, les problèmes de dépendances aux drogues et à l'alcool, les craintes liés aux allergies et les transitions de vie. J'ai travaillé pendant 8 ans avec les enfants et les adultes atteints de troubles du spectre de l'autisme. Je sais donc reconnaître les besoins individuels, mais aussi ceux des couples et des familles entourant cette clientèle.
