I am a Registered Psychologist, and I love working with children, adolescents, adults and families. I will provide you an environment to allow you to process thoughts, feelings and/or to come up with solutions if needed. I am passionate about guiding you towards lasting positive changes and wholeness.
Interventions I use are evidence-based, age appropriate and individualized. I have years of experience working with children and their families in different environments. I use the frameworks of Synergetic play therapy, emotionally focused therapy, cognitive behavioural therapy, solution-focused therapy and mindfulness.
As a registered provisional psychologist, I strive to create a positive therapeutic relationship. My goal is to create a warm, empathetic, and non-judgemental environment for my clients. We will work collaboratively to help you reach your goals.
