It can be hard watching our child struggle whether it be with anxiety, fear, anger, big emotions, loss, trauma or significant life changes and if any of this is resonating with you I believe you are in the right place. As a Certified Play Therapist my approach to therapy allows children of all ages to use their natural language of play to process and communicate their inner world in a safe environment where they feel seen, heard and understood. And yes - we can do all of this while also having fun!

Welcome! I'm a firm believer that therapy doesn't have to feel like a trip to the dentist. I specialize in awkward topics, it's important to me that our conversations feel like you're talking to a trusted friend. I help individuals, relationships (mono & ENM) as well as polycules & whole family units. I offer a compassion focused therapy model, often coupled with CBT strategies & dad jokes to help us work through the tough stuff. As an RN Psychotherapist, I not only know traditional psychotherapy techniques but I have knowledge in anatomy/physiology, medication management and I've taken specific education focused in sex therapy.

Feeling overwhelmed by emotions, thoughts, and circumstances? If youâre having more âbadâ days than good and struggling to cope, you donât have to face this alone. For children, it might feel like school or social pressures are too much, while adults may be dealing with work stress, relationship or family issues, or life changes. Whether you're a child or an adult, I offer a warm, supportive space to explore these challenges. Together, we can find effective ways to manage stress, rebuild resilience, and navigate your path to a brighter, more balanced life.

From my experience the first steps toward feeling better and finding ourselves is simply reaching out for help, which can also be the hardest.

Here you will find a safe, compassionate, non-judgmental space with an empathetic ear as you bravely tell your story and come to embody your best self. I donât believe in one size fits all approach.

I am an Indigenous mental health clinic providing accessible counselling to meet you where you are at. I embrace a wholistic lens with a philosophy of belonging, being and doing. I use a two-eyed seeing approach bridging western modalities and traditional ways of knowing to manage mental health and unexpected life events. My lens has been shaped by the strength of my community, family, elders and the residential school experience. I have experience in complex trauma, suicide, chronic illness, medical trauma and high risk mental health in my years in community work and in private practice.

Youâre getting calls from the school about your child. If he even makes it to school. Your sweet little baby is almost unrecognizable. She hates herself, she hates you, and youâre an idiot for trying to help. He spends most of his time in his room glued to the phone or ignoring you. You canât figure out whatâs going on, you're frustrated, tired, and at a loss as a parent as to how to help. I get it. Parenting is hard sometimes. If your child or adolescent is struggling with issues around peer relationships, anxiety, depression, school, parental separation, gender identity, ADHD, and other types of neurodiversity, I can help.

I chose to become a School Psychologist because I have a passion for helping individuals identify their strengths and improve their learning abilities. My main goal is to assist parents in understanding the underlying causes of their child's learning difficulties and provide them with guidance on how to address these challenges. Additionally, I strive to support adults in gaining a better understanding of themselves. My area of focus involves working with individuals who may have suspected or confirmed learning difficulties, ADHD, and/or Autism.
