Services
I offer evidence-based treatment services for a variety of issues. I am qualified to provide psychological treatment, consultation, and parental guidance for a range of age groups: toddlers, preschoolers, school age children, and adolescents. My primary approaches to intervention include behavioural therapy, cognitive-behavioural therapy, and mindfulness-based approaches.
Children who have selective mutism show difficulty speaking in select settings (often preschool or school) yet speak comfortably in other settings (at home with family). Selective mutism is an anxiety-based condition, one which unfortunately is often missed or misunderstood. I have a specific interest in helping children with selective mutism overcome their fear of speaking.
