Specializing in helping children, teens, and young adults, I understand the unique obstacles encountered at each stage of life. Whether you’re struggling with managing emotions, building self-esteem, or dealing with anxiety, or depression, I offer a compassionate, personalized approach tailored to your needs. Together, we’ll work on building confidence, developing effective coping skills, and setting and achieving meaningful goals. I’m also here to help with stress management, fostering positive relationships, and enhancing life skills. My goal is to create a supportive and engaging space where you feel understood and empowered.
I integrate a blend of evidence-based approaches to support your unique journey, including Cognitive-Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT), Art Therapy, Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), and Narrative Therapy. My practice is grounded in a trauma-informed, culturally responsive, and strengths-based perspective.
I know that reaching out for support can feel like a big step, and I want to make it as comfortable as possible. A consultation is an opportunity for us to connect and explore how we can work together to make positive changes in your life. Feel free to reach out for a free consultation when you’re ready!
