Therapeutic Approaches, Clinical Experience, and Additional Information
I have worked as a school psychologist, Manager of Safe Schools and Manager of Mental Health and Critical Services at a local school board for over 30 years. In my various roles, I provided assessment, therapy and consultation services to determine types of accommodations, modifications, supports and services available for students with learning, social emotional and or behavioural difficulties. I have also provided parent education and staff training related to understanding and supporting child and youth mental health and wellbeing. In therapy, I work within a cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) framework, as well as emotion focused therapy (EFT), and collaborative problem-solving (CPS) based on client needs.
I have been with Centrepointe Professional Services since 2000 and have been a managing partner since 2018.
