Practice information:

Special interest in children, young adults and families. My services enable children, youth and adults to fulfill their full potential and find mental wellness. Area of focus include stress, worry, anxiety, sadness, depression, loneliness,loss, grief, postpartum depression, trauma, and anger. I believe we can all benefit from having someone to share our struggles with that is trained to help us find and see our resilience and strength.

When providing services I use evidence-based approaches including Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Play Therapy, Acceptance Commitment Therapy (ACT), Dialectical Behavioural Therapy (DBT) and Mindfulness. I believe that each and every one of us is unique and has individual needs therefore I customize my approach based on the individual's needs and readiness.

In the future I hope to bring my dog, Matzah-ball, to help clients that would find this service useful. Both her and I are attending training so she can work towards this goal. Also not to worry for people that don't like dogs she will not be in the office.

I am registered both as a Registered Clinical Counsellor (RCC) and a Registered Social Worker (RSW).
