I support individuals struggling with the natural experiences of anxiety, anger, depression, and life transitions. I offer in person sessions for youth and young adults ages 10+, and virtual sessions for clients who are 16+.

I am a Registered Clinical Counsellor and a Play Therapy Practitioner. I specialize in helping children and their families with emotional, cognitive, and behavioural difficulties. I primarily use play-based and expressive art therapies to nurture self-awareness, resilience, and mastery over challenges. Children rely a great deal on those around them to navigate the challenges they face. As such, I help parents to understand what their child's behaviour is communicating, and how they can best support them. The relationship with your child offers an opportunity for effective intervention.

I offer compassionate, evidenced-based support for children ages 3 – 10 and the people who care for them. My primary therapeutic approach is child-centered play therapy, which allows children to express themselves through play and toys. When I facilitate play therapy, I provide an environment where children experience safety and learn to feel self-confident, limit their problem behaviours, and grow towards self improvement. I have completed specialized training in play and expressive arts therapy through The Justice Institute of BC, and The Centre for Play Therapy at The University of Northern Texas.

Thank you for being here and showing an interest in Narrative Therapy. It is quite possible that you are wondering, "What exactly is Narrative Therapy?" Narrative practice is a respectful, non-blaming approach to therapy and community work. It is dedicated to rich questions and generous listening. Narrative therapy explores the many skills, values, beliefs, abilities and commitments people have and is curious about the dominant discourses a person may find themselves up against in their lives.

My ultimate goal in our work together is that you feel seen and understood in all of your humanness, and that our relationship serves as a safe place to explore whatever is holding you back from experiencing the world as your most rooted and alive self. Through a gentle and collaborative approach, we will work together to attune to the present moment feelings and sensations that are often shied away from, and generally build resiliency to face life's inevitable challenges.
