Hi! I’m Dr. Karen.

I’m a registered child psychologist in Toronto, Ontario.

I provide specialized support for parents of children navigating challenges with emotion regulation, sadness, anger, disruptive behaviour, anxiety spirals, and sticky thinking.

I work from the understanding that parents are the most powerful (wonderful!) agents of change in a child’s life.  I use an evidence-based approach that blends:

❀  Emotion-focused  and attachment-based techniques to increase understanding and strengthen communication patterns.

❀Positive behavioural strategies within a flexible framework, to foster clear, progressive steps towards meaningful change.
