I am a Registered Psychologist with over 25 years of experience, working with individuals, couples and families. I have worked extensively in the area of women’s mental health and trauma-informed therapy. My practice is geared towards people who are experiencing such issues as depression, anxiety, grief, low self esteem, and low self-confidence. Many of my clients seek help to deal with overwhelming emotions or negative beliefs, work or family stress, relationship problems, caretaking demands, major life changes, or are just feeling stuck. For some people, unresolved issues from the past are creating problems in the present.

The cornerstone of my work is in building relationships where clients feel listened to, validated, and able to build trust in the therapeutic process. Together, we start with identifying areas of concern as well as personal strengths, and work towards finding strategies to move towards positive change. Through the process, there is a wonderful opportunity for learning more about yourself and those around you. Talking about issues that may be causing you distress is an incredibly important step in building life-long skills of self-awareness, self-care, and self-compassion.

Does your child need support navigating challenges like ADHD, behavioural concerns, hyperactivity, motivation, decision-making, focus, aggression, shyness, or other social-emotional issues? At Positive Kids, we understand how difficult it can be to see your child struggle. That’s why we’ve created a nurturing space to help children and teens develop critical life skills, in the following areas: self-control, self-awareness, social awareness, relationship skills and responsible decision-making. These children ultimately become independent, confident, inquisitive, enthusiastic, responsible and compassionate adults in later years.
