As a Registered Play Therapist & Supervisor (APTA) & PACFA Clinical Counsellor, Kind Connections supports children aged 3 - 10 years with a range of neurodevelopmental challenges & difficulties. With a passion for supporting adoptive, foster & kinship familes, my approach combines extensive experience as a trauma counsellor, Synergetic Play Therapy & EMDR, in a 'playful' way to support the child's healing process.
As a Registered Play Therapist Supervisor, I offer Supervision to Play Therapists via Telehealth, especially those working toward their registration.
Kind Connections offers trauma-informed & neuro-affirming counselling to young people & adults. As a PACFA Reg. Clinical Counsellor, I can also work directly with a victim-survivor of FV (in person or via Telehealth), when consent cannot be obtained for a child to receive therapy. Referrals directly from agency's are welcome.
