I am a mother of three beautiful children who constantly keep me on my toes, and often serve as my motivation to continue to learn and grow, and better myself as a person and as a professional.
Is your child struggling with excessive worry and unwanted, intrusive thoughts? Are they anxious about attending school, hanging out with friends, or not being 'good enough'? I can help. Using a cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) approach along with exposure and response prevention (ERP), I have experience working with children and their families to alleviate symptoms of Anxiety and Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD). I would love to meet with you to discuss how I might be able to help along you and your child's journey in mental and behavioural wellness.

I have had a great deal of success working with children and their parents for many childhood issues such as behavior problems, ADHD, anxiety and so on.
My background is in systems theory; the idea that everyone is connected to those around them, with influence between all those people, organizations, and cultures. My approach to therapy is primarily Cognitive Behavioral Therapy but I also see a need for insight into the meaning that we make/have made of things and how that impacts our present. Therapy then, involves opening space for a person to increase awareness of their own process and to see alternative perspectives, thereby empowered to make different life decisions. It is so exciting to see someone realize that they have the power to change their perspective and their life!

Child Counsellors
Child psychologists in Alberta provide mental health therapy to children and are experts in child development.

Every comprehensive review of therapy with children shows that all credible approaches, when performed by a competent mental health clinician, produce almost the same results. About half of all kids will get better. Of those that improve, 80% will show progress in a relatively short time (likely in fewer than six sessions), the remaining 20% will need longer-term support.

The best child therapists in Alberta build great relationships with the child and the parent. They also see the child's strengths and are open to hearing the child's possible solutions to the challenges the child faces. Finally, a good therapist appreciates the child's culture and is sensitive to the values of the child's community.
