I am a clinical (child) psychologist specializing in helping young people and their families face a wide range of mental health challenges. My aim in our engagement is to create a nurturing, compassionate, and safe environment where you can feel truly supported. Employing evidence-based strategies tailored to your unique circumstances, we will collaborate to address the challenges you're encountering, fostering resilience, and facilitating lasting positive change. I have a specific interest and experience in treating individuals with disordered eating.
I work with pre-teens, adolescents, and young adults. My approach is grounded in offering the highest standard of professional care, creating a safe and comfortable space where individuals can freely share their inner world and where parents are empowered to assist their children in reaching their full potential.
Whether you are an adolescent struggling with mental health or a concerned parent seeking assistance for your child, I am here to provide the guidance and expertise to overcome these difficulties.
