Anxiety, ADHD, depression, and trauma recovery are my specialties. Specifically, I am best suited for those who are wanting to develop a game plan to gain back control. I start off by investing the ‘why’ to your patterns, we learn what is getting in the way of you naturally meeting your goals, and then we work towards retraining your brain from using dysfunctional and unproductive responses to ones that are purposeful and helpful!
In my work with children, I first work towards establishing a strong rapport through play, exploration, and via indulging in their interests. We then work together to learn about their emotions, thoughts, and behaviours and tools we can then use to foster independence in their problem solving and emotional regulation.
Searching for a mental health therapist can be an exhausting and intimidating. I am here to work collaboratively with you and to help make your therapeutic journey a positive and enlightening experience. I offer daytime, evening and weekend availability. Email me today to start your journey!
