Specializing in Trauma
About
I am a Registered Psychologist, a Certified Trauma Practitioner, and a Certified Play Therapist. I have extensive experience in both the health and education systems, working with children and families in the environments in which they work, play, and learn.
Therapy with children and youth requires a very different approach then when working with adults. Often children do not have the cognitive skills required to properly process and integrate their emotional experiences. Play therapy is an evidence based practice proven to help children.
