It's a little daunting starting out on your journey without knowing your counsellor, so here's a little bit about me.
I love helping young people. From tots to tantrums, and everything ages from 10 to 25 - it's my passion. I've had past experience in schools, community centers, and helplines.
My professional field of interest is eating disorders and working with young people. Currently I am doing post graduate studies in psychology, cognitive-behavioural therapy, and infant, child, and adolescent mental health.
Outside of private practice and study, I also work as a mental health practitioner at a mental health and addictions agency, and my days kept busy with my cat (George) and dog (Harold).
I can help with:
depression / mood
anxiety
eating disorders and disordered eating
abuse/trauma
behavioural problems
holistic support
mental health and wellbeing
