About Me: I am a clinical psychology intern completing my predoctoral internship at the Ottawa Centre for Resilience (OCFR) under the supervision of Dr. Brad Daly. I am working towards obtaining my PhD in Clinical Psychology at the University of New Brunswick and have been working clinically with children, adolescents, and families for several years. My research explores the transition out of high school and into adulthood for autistic youth and their families.
Who I Work With:
• Children
• Teenagers
• Parents
My Approach: I provide treatment and assessment services to children, adolescents, and families at OCFR. I have experience assisting clients in managing challenges related to emotion regulation, developmental trauma, anxiety and depressive disorders, ADHD, Autism, Learning Disorders, and LGBTQ2IA+ issues. My clinical approach draws on evidence-based methods, including Cognitive Behaviour Therapy, Dialectical Behaviour Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, and Motivational Interviewing. I take a systems approach while prioritizing my clients’ values and tailoring treatment to each individual.
How I Can Help: I strive to provide a welcoming, non-judgemental environment to support clients in feeling safe and sharing their experiences.
Tools I Use:
• Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT)
• Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT)
• Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)
• Motivational Interviewing (MI)
