Hi! I'm Claire, and I'm dedicated to supporting your child through life's challenges and you through the complexities of parenting! I have a special interest in working with autism, ADHD, trauma, and dissociation. I am a certified EMDR therapist and EMDRIA consultant-in-training, with advanced training in EMDR focused on children, attachment trauma, and dissociation. I am certified in AutPlay Therapy, a play therapy framework focusing on neurodivergency. I have training in Synergetic Play Therapy and I am on track to become a Certified Play Therapist with the Canadian Association of Play Therapy.
I offer equine assisted therapy because I find children and teens tend to be more open to therapy when it takes place outdoors and involves interacting with animals. Through meaningful interactions with horses, children not only develop confidence, empathy, and communication skills but also tackle emotional, behavioral, and developmental challenges head-on.
If equine therapy isn't the right fit for your family, I also offer therapy in a traditional office, with a playroom for children, and virtually. My goal is to collaborate with you to create the changes you desire, improve your family's well-being and your child's life. You are not alone. I'm here to support you through this time in your life! Warmly, Claire
