Clinical interests: My clinical interests include working with children and adolescents presenting with developmental/complex trauma, developmental disabilities, neurodevelopmental disorders, mood and anxiety disorders, impulse-control disorders, and behaviour difficulties. I am registered to practice in the areas of Clinical, School and Counselling Psychology with the following client populations: children, adolescents and adults.
