Great to meet you!

I’m an honest, patient, and reflective provider who values creating a supportive space for children and adolescents. I have a background in mental health care and experience working with young people on challenges like anxiety, mood concerns, and behavioral issues. Outside of work, I enjoy hobbies that keep me grounded and help me bring my best self to sessions.

My approach to therapy

Patient-centred care is about respecting your individual preferences and diversity. Patient-centred care involves recognising your needs and respects your right to make health decisions and choices. Patient-centred care includes your right to comment, ask questions and make complaints about your healthcare.

What you can expect from me

First session is often about getting to know each other. They may ask you for general information about your life, such as your career, your living situation, your current immediate family or household, and the family you were raised in.
