I'm a passionate child and family counsellor who works from a strengths-based perspective and sees the potential in all my clients. I've trained in several play therapy modalities (CCPT, Theraplay, Autplay, Filial Therapy) to help children and families communicate and connect in times when words just don’t meet their needs. I've also trained in several parenting programs to help parents navigate this sometimes-challenging role i.e., Circles of Security, Triple P, Emotion Coaching 123.
