Child and Family Psychologist in Oakville & Mississauga Specializing in Child OCD, Anxiety, ADHD, Psychoedcuational & Autism Assessments, and Behaviour Challenges for Children and Teens (ages 3-18)
Is your child struggling with anxiety, behaviour challenges, learning issues, or emotional ups and downs? You don’t have to navigate this alone. As a Registered Child and Family Psychologist in Oakville and Mississauga, with over a decade of experience in hospital and clinical settings, I specialize in helping children and teens (ages 3–18) and their families build resilience, emotional regulation, and strong, healthy connections.
My approach is warm, inclusive, and rooted in evidence-based therapies like CBT (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy), ACT (Acceptance and Commitment Therapy), DBT (Dialectical Behavior Therapy) , EFFT (Emotion-Focused Family Therapy), and parent behavioral coaching.
I am also a psychologist at McMaster Children’s Hospital and a Professor at McMaster University.
I have extensive experience supporting diverse, multicultural families in Oakville and Mississauga. I understand how culture shape a child’s experience, and I tailor my work to respect and reflect your family’s unique strengths and values. Whether you’re seeking therapy, a psychoeducational assessment, or parenting guidance, I'm here to help you thrive.
