"How do I help my child keep their cool?"
 
"How do I connect with my teen?"
 
Parenting is hard. In fact, it may be the hardest thing we do in our lives. At Mindful Psychology and Wellness Centre, my team and I are here to support your family's journey and guide you in nurturing kindness, resilience, and confidence in your child and your relationship with them.
 
I am a registered clinical psychologist providing assessment, consultation, and treatment to children, adolescents, and parents.
 
I am passionate about supporting families in their well-being through an evidence-based and individualized approach. My approach with my clients is one of compassion and authenticity to develop a trusting relationship and a safe space, essential elements for any therapeutic progress.

I have worked in a range of hospital and community mental health settings. Knowledge translation is a passion for me and I regularly consult with hospitals and community teams, co-author publications on child and youth relationships and mental health, as well as lecture at York University.
