I use an attachment based approach when working with children and youth and ask the caretakers to play an active role in therapy where appropriate.
~Loving ourselves through the process of owning our story is the bravest thing we will ever do~- Brené Brown. Life presents us with all types of road blocks, situations and experiences that may have our body and mind reacting in different ways or feelings. Children, adolescents and adults all experience feelings that provide internal and external responses. Coping with the way our mind and body feels through these situations does not have to be done alone. Your goals and feelings are important. You deserve a safe space to process and create intentional coping skills.

My passion is working with children, families, couples, and individuals to support them in bolstering their strengths, exploring shared goals, finding common values, and learning strategies to effectively validate one another’s emotions.
Do you have thoughts like ‘My child’s behavior is out of control!’, ‘I love them so much, but I feel like I’m at the end of my rope’, or ‘Why won’t my child just listen, they’re embarrassing me!’. Maybe you find yourself losing your temper and getting angry at your child more often. This might make you feel ashamed, and you may begin blaming yourself and feeling judged by teachers, family members, other parents, your partner(s). You feel confused and like you have tried everything from books to webinars, to doctors and other types of therapy but nothing seems to have helped.

Are you concerned about your child/adolescent?

Are they having issues with emotional regulation, behavioural challenges, coping skills, problems sleeping/eating or school problems. You may feel lost in knowing where to turn for help, and how to re-connect to your child. When children experience difficulties in their lives, they are often unable to express their feelings in traditional talk therapy.

Almost everyone will experience grief and loss in their lifetime and while there are no absolute stages of grief and no single way to mourn, every person has a unique experience and response to their loss. We experience loss in many ways – through sudden, unexpected death, miscarriage, infant loss, job loss, the ending of a relationship or through chronic illness, aging, life transitions, end of life planning and anticipating the death of a loved one.
