About Me

I am a registered psychologist with competencies in clinical work with children, adolescents, and families, as well as forensic work with adolescents. I focus on working with those struggling with dysregulation (big emotions and big behaviours), self-harm, attachment, and sexual behaviour issues related to histories of adversity, complex developmental trauma, adoption related issues, Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder, high-conflict parenting dynamics, and involvement with the child welfare, family court, and criminal justice systems. I regularly provide consultation and trainings in the areas of child development, parenting, trauma, attachment, trauma-informed approaches, and high-risk, complex youth. I have expertise in conducting forensic assessments (e.g., Parenting Assessments, Juvenile Forensic Risk Assessments, Secure Treatment Assessments, Expert Opinion for civil and child welfare matters).
