I have worked with with children, youth and families for over a decade, supporting them with a wide range of concerns, including anxiety, child-parent attachment, mood regulation, and family functioning, among others. I also have an emerging interest in supporting individuals through pregnancy, postpartum, and the transition to parenthood. In support of this pursuit, I am thrilled to be completing my certification as a Nurture Neuroscience Practitioner™ with Dr. Greer Kirshenbaum (author of the Nurture Revolution), providing me with specialized training in infant and parental neuroscience, infant attachment, nervous system regulation, and infant sleep.

I use an integrative approach to therapy from attachment, cognitive, play-based and collaborative-based frameworks to ensure services are tailored to families’ needs. In all areas of my work, I strive to create a safe and compassionate therapeutic space where you, your child or your family feel supported as we work together towards your unique goals.

My Qualifications and Approach

I hold an honours B.A. degree in Psychology and a Master of Arts degree in Counselling Psychology, both from the University of Ottawa. I am a Registered Psychotherapist with the College of Registered Psychotherapists of Ontario and I’m near completion of my certification to become a Nurture Neuroscience Practitioner™.

What is A Nurture Neuroscience Practitioner™?

A Nurture Neuroscience Practitioner™ is someone who has been trained in infant brain development and neurobiology, parental brain development, the neuroscience of early relationships, stress and nervous system development and infant sleep from a neurodevelopmental lens. The training, created and facilitated by neuroscientists Dr. Greer Kirshenbaum (best-selling author of the Nurture Revolution) and Dr. Rocio Zunini, is grounded in peer-reviewed research from developmental neuroscience, attachment science, psychobiology, and stress physiology, and translated into loving and compassionate support for families. At its heart, Nurture Neuroscience™  is about one thing: Supporting sleep, well-being, and early development by nurturing the relationships between babies and their parents or caregivers.
