Assessments: I specialize in children's psychoeducational assessments for giftedness (Westmount, GATE), ADHD, learning disabilities, and social/emotional/behavioural concerns. Counselling: Therapeutic play to support issues such as low self-esteem, assertiveness, specific skill development, anxiety/depression, coping skills, social skills, ADHD symptomology, ASD, phobias, bullying, trauma, divorce, grief and aggression (2-14yrs). I use an integrative approach, drawing from various play modalities depending on the child and presenting issue. Parenting strategies provided. NIHB provider and FSCD services.
I have eight years of experience in psychoeducational assessment and 20 years of working with children in various capacities. I am also a therapeutic play practitioner and a trauma specialist. Furthermore, I support adults using a holistic approach who may be experiencing anxiety, depression, stress, addictions, ADHD management, relationships and parenting.
Originally from England. Mum of 2 young boys. It's important to go above and beyond expectations. Education is not a one-size-fits-all approach. I believe in finding your child's unique strengths/areas of need to tailor their education so they are set up for success. Furthermore, I will support your child by providing the tools needed to flourish emotionally

Groups
Friendship and Social Skills Training for children
Is your child shy? Withdrawn? Lacking social skills? Are there conflicts with peers? Help your child flourish socially and emotionally. I provide group therapy based on programs such as the 'Social Thinking' program and the 'FRIENDS' program. Sessions are strength-based, drawing from cognitive-behavioural techniques. Sessions will start when interest allows a small group to be formed. Age range 3-12.
