I support children aged 3 to 12 and their families with emotional, behavioural, relational, and developmental challenges. My integrative approach is grounded in research and strong relationships, and tailored to each child. I work closely with parents to understand what’s going on and support meaningful, lasting change. Through an integrative approach, I help children make sense of their experiences and build emotional, social, and developmental skills, while supporting parents to understand behaviour and respond with confidence.
I am an integrative child psychotherapist, with extensive university training in Child-Centered Humanistic Play Therapy, Family Play Therapy, and directive developmental support ('Learn to Play'). I support neurodivergent children, including those with autism and ADHD, in affirming and responsive ways.
It can be hard to know what your child needs when things aren’t settling, and you don’t have to figure it out alone. If this resonates, you’re welcome to reach out to explore whether Play Therapy feels like the right fit for your child and family.

I support children with emotional, behavioural, and relational challenges, including anxiety, overwhelm, and neurodivergent differences such as ADHD and autism. Therapy combines careful clinical understanding with a strong relational approach, using Play Therapy to meet each child where they are. Families often see growth in emotional regulation, confidence, and connection over time.
