She treats a wide range of conditions including ADHD, anxiety, depression, autism spectrum disorder, bipolar disorder and trauma, using integrative, person-centered approaches.

Child and Adolescent Psychiatric Care

With over thirty years of clinical experience and a Doctorate in Health Sciences, she brings deep expertise to supporting young clients navigating ADHD, mood disorders, autism and school-related challenges.
