About Families

I am a Mental Health Nurse Practitioner and a family therapist specialising in work with children and youth. I work from a family centred approach as I believe that children exist within a system and they need that system to help them through any difficulties. I am also a mother and this has by far been the most amazing and challenging experience of my life. I think that as parents we do the best we can and sometimes this goes well and other times it doesn't. There is no such thing as a perfect parent, what is most important though is that we learn from our mistakes. I am available to work with families who are experiencing some challenge(s) whether this be behavioural issues, illness, mental health difficulties or any other concerns that may have come up. I offer a confidential service and will only talk with other professionals with your permission. I have a particular interest in working with families who have experienced trauma whether this be one family member or a whole family, have a child diagnosed with autism or an eating disorder but also have experience working with children and their parents from infants to 25 years with a variety of presenting worries.
