Areas of Focus: My expertise lies in helping children who exhibit emotional, behavioral and social challenges at home, school and in their communities.

I recognize the value of the therapeutic relationship and strive to provide a safe, warm, welcoming, and empathetic environment where children and their caregivers can grow.
Educational Background and Training: I have a Bachelor degree in Psychology from McGill University as well as a Bachelor of Social Science, Bachelor of Education, and Master of Education in Counselling from the University of Ottawa.
Star Statement: I have been a Clinician in children’s mental health for over 20 years. I have had the privilege of meeting and working alongside countless incredible children and their caregivers throughout my career. The most rewarding part of my work are the trusting therapeutic relationships I get to build with my clients. The most inspiring part of my work is watching children and their families discover their own strengths, experience success, grow their confidence, and realize that positive change is possible.
