It can be hard feeling overwhelmed with your day to day, behavior concerns can cause a lot of tension and stress in the home and outside the home. You don’t have to suffer alone; child behaviors, disabilities, and teen risk behaviors can affect the family dynamics but it can be managed to help individuals and families thrive. I am registered Provincial Psychologist who has over 8 years experience working with children ages 0 - 17 years working with disabilities, behaviors, and routine. I support individuals, couples, and families in a multitude of settings. Each client is unique and therefore their therapeutic process and solutions will be unique to them. I am here to provide clients with a safe, comfortable, judgement-free, supportive, and caring environment. The main therapeutic approach I use is Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, due to its adaptability and inclusivity regarding clients. As a psychologist I believe I need to work alongside my clients and support them in their journey.
