My professional experience includes providing therapy in the culturally-diverse communities of Fort Lauderdale and Toronto. With empathy and a respect for self-determination, I am committed to building a trusting relationship with my clients so that they feel safe to share their experiences, identify patterns in their lives, and explore opportunities for personal growth. "Using evidence-based practice to help my clients achieve a wide variety of goals, I specialize in: emotional regulation, school-related issues, anxiety, trauma, behaviour management , and effective parenting strategies . I also have extensive experience working with individuals and families who have experienced domestic violence and trauma."

Students: "Think of Me" Anti-Drinking/Driving Campaign The launch of Whitby's second annual "Think of Me" bag campaign, a partnership between the DRPS, the LCBO and local school boards, will take place on Dec. 6 The program has students from across Durham Region decorating brown paper bags with powerful anti-drinking and driving messages. LCBO customers will see their holiday purchases wrapped in these powerful messages in hopes they think twice about getting behind the wheels of a car while intoxicated. This year, every school in Durham was invited to participate. With the theme "Think of Me," more than 25,000 students decorated bags. Each school picked its favourite bag and the best five bags were chosen by DRPS and the LCBO for display at the launch. One of the finalists will be chosen as the winning entry and that school will win prizes and be the host school for next year's launch. The "Think of Me" bag campaign is also running at schools across Ontario. The LCBO will announce the top five province-wide winning bag designs in early December, followed by the selection of one student's bag that will be printed on 60,000 single-bottle bags and distributed to all LCBO stores across the province in advance of the 2018 May long-weekend.
