Are you feeling anxious, depressed or burnt out? Or is your child struggling to manage their big emotions? Have you wondered if it has to be that way? I believe therapy is an effective way to gain control and to improve mental health so that you or your child can thrive in daily life. I start with understanding where you or your child are now and collaboratively, we set goals and develop a plan to get you where you want to be. I am passionate about my work and am committed to helping people work on their mental health and live a full life. My goal is to provide a safe, inclusive place where you feel heard and understood.

I am a Clinical Psychologist registered with the College of Psychologists of Ontario to work with children, teens, and adults. I opened a psychology clinic in 2014, which became Kitchener
Psychology Centre and is now Reflections Mental Health Group. I obtained a Ph.D. in Clinical Psychology with an Applied Developmental Emphasis from the University of Guelph.  My clinical training included work at a local school board, the Selective Mutism Service at McMaster Children’s Hospital, a pre-doctoral internship at Hamilton Health Sciences, and placements at kidsLINK and the Centre for Psychological Services at the University of Guelph. I am also an adjunct faculty member at the University of Waterloo, where I supervise clinical psychology students as part of their training. 

I live in Ayr with my husband and three sons. I enjoy spending time in nature, hanging out with my family, friends, and many pets, and cheering on my sons in their sports.
