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.

For 15 years, I worked in child protection with a special focus on Indigenous social work.
As your therapist, I am committed to helping kids and adults build resiliency against trauma and severe stress. When you are looking for resolution from arguments that just keep happening, we will build on moments of healthy communication. If you are feeling overwhelmed and it's affecting your sleep, eating, life enjoyment, mood, and energy, we will find realistic changes to reduce stress and promote peace. Just when you are struggling with emotions that may be too big or have stopped feeling at all, we will ground you firmly in the present while we work through the causes at your own pace.

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!

My ultimate goal is to foster positive parent- child relationships.
Are you struggling with a challenging child, feeling like it's affecting both your day-to-day life and your relationship with them? Do you or your child have a neurodivergent diagnosis? Do you often feel exhausted, overwhelmed, frustrated, or lost? Are you questioning whether your child is getting the support they need? More than ever, parents are feeling uncertain about their children’s behaviours and how to navigate the daily struggles that come with them. Especially when neurodivergence is involved. I believe recognizing when to seek support is one of the most valuable skills a parent can have.
