Profile Description

I specialize in treating people of all ages experiencing primary mental health problems. Specific areas of interest include, but are not limited to anxiety disorders (OCD, PTSD, childhood onset anxiety), personality disorders, self-injurious behaviour, adolescent mental health, transgender health and LGBT concerns. I have received DBT Intensive Training from BehaviorTech. I have expertise in issues related to transgender health and am a member of both the Canadian Professional Association for Transgender Health (CPATH) and the World Professional Association of Transgender Health (WPATH). I am WPATH trained. I especially enjoy working with gender diverse youth and their families.
