Supporting children and adolescents through their emotional and behavioral challenges is a crucial part of fostering their growth and development. I specialize in child and adolescent therapy, helping young individuals navigate issues such as anxiety, depression, self-esteem, and behavioral problems. Using evidence-based approaches like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and play therapy, I work collaboratively with both the child and their family to create personalized strategies for emotional regulation and coping. By building a strong, trusting relationship, I empower young clients to develop the skills they need to thrive emotionally, socially, and academically

St. John's is the capital of Newfoundland and Labrador and one of North America's oldest cities, perched on the Atlantic coast with a distinct cultural identity—Newfoundland's unique vernacular, music, and social traditions are a strong source of community pride and solidarity that provides genuine protective factors against isolation. The mental health landscape is shaped by the boom-and-bust character of the offshore oil industry that employs many residents, the generational grief from the cod fishery's collapse in 1992, and the seasonal affective challenges of a city known for fog, overcast skies, and long Atlantic winters. Memorial University's medical school contributes to the health workforce, and mental health services are provided through NL Health Services. Common therapy concerns include FIFO oil industry stress and relationship strain, economic anxiety tied to energy sector volatility, seasonal depression, and the grief of a community carrying significant intergenerational loss from the collapse of the fishery.
