I have worked with children for over twenty years, and I apply child-centred practices to all areas of my work with children and families. I work with children who have emotional, social, or educational needs that are beyond the child or family to address effectively. I use therapy approaches best suited to the child’s identified needs at the time of assessment. I am a registered psychologist and teacher, with most of my career based with the Ministry of Education. I work part-time in private practice as a child therapist. I am an ACC registered psychologist for sensitive claims. I work with young people up to 15 years of age.
