I work with children ages 5 - 9 to cope with big feelings using a 5 session approach with follow up sessions as required; tweens 10 - 13 looking at areas of anxiety, self-esteem, self-worth, or anger; and teens 14-19 in all areas.
I work with young people who struggle with anxiety, self-worth, self-confidence, self-expression, and coping skills. My sessions are not the traditional 50-minute in-office talk therapy. Sessions are up to 1.5 hours, using relational therapeutic experiences (art, play, experiential, and talk too), based on the interests of the young person. I work with young people in experiencing the tools that will help them to resolve their concerns, giving them the opportunity to practice in their life-space. Appointments are available for evenings and weekends. I prefer to come to you for young children as they are more comfortable at home.

I can offer numerous models of therapy to help you or your child live a healthier life.
Are you presently struggling with Anxiety? Depression? Lack of self esteem or confidence? Grief? Or perhaps you have a child who is the one requiring additional support and coping? By coming to therapy you can expect a supportive, non judgement relationship based therapy approach; whereby you or your child can learn the tools and process what is occurring. Sometimes what we think is normal feelings, behaviors or thoughts, may in fact be a sign of something else...let's work together to figure it out.

Additionally, If your child is struggling in school and you would like a better understanding of their intellectual, academic or behavioural strengths/areas of need, a psychoeducational assessment can provide insight into how they learn best, with recommendations for home and school to further develop specific skills.
With a background as an elementary school teacher, school counsellor, and school psychologist, I have a range of experiences working with children of all ages, and accept referrals from age 5 to 16. Play therapy and expressive arts are used to help improve problem-solving skills, enhance social connections, develop emotional regulation, and enhance self-esteem. I believe it really does "take a village" of adults at home, community and school to support the healthy growth and development of a child, and reaching out for support can be part of that process. Let's chat about your concerns and how to create a path moving forward!
