Mount Lawley, WA 6050
My therapeutic background is in working with children, adolescents, and adults who have been impacted by trauma from sexual, emotional, and physical abuse and neglect.
I believe healing happens not by fixing what is broken, but by rediscovering the parts of ourselves that have been hidden, silenced, or forgotten. Guided by a strong relational foundation, I support clients to reconnect with their inner wisdom, build emotional resilience, and move toward the life they want to lead. My approach is informed by a compassionate, holistic, and trauma-informed lens and I tailor each session to the unique pace and rhythm of your healing. My priority is holding a space where you feel safe, seen, and supported — a space where healing can unfold and you can move closer to becoming who you truly are.

My ideal client is someone who feels emotionally overwhelmed, stuck in repeating patterns, or disconnected from themselves or loved ones. They may struggle with anxiety, unresolved family dynamics, or challenges in their relationship. What they truly need is a safe, non-judgmental space to be heard and understood. Their goal is to heal, find clarity, and build healthier relationships — with themselves and others. They want change because they long for emotional balance, deeper connection, and a more authentic life.

FAQ - About Child Therapy
When does a child need to see a therapist?
Children naturally experience emotional ups and downs. Sometimes, though, they need support from a professional. A child may benefit from therapy if their emotions or behaviours change significantly within a short period of time. For example, if a child usually spends time with friends after school but begins isolating in their room, further inquiry is warranted. Other areas for concern include altered sleep patterns, lack of appetite, intense anger, irritability, or hopelessness, or developmental regression in young children (bedwetting, thumb-sucking).

What can a child therapist help with?
A therapist can help with any difficult experience a child may encounter growing up, including learning problems or anxiety related to school, relationship challenges with friends or parents, bullying, intense emotions or phobias, divorce and family dynamics, or the death of a pet or loved one. A therapist can help children process their experience and develop coping skills in an age-appropriate way

What therapy types are most suitable for children?
Children can benefit from different forms of therapy, including family therapy, parent-child interaction therapy, play therapy, cognitive behavioural therapy, and exposure therapy, depending on their condition. Play therapy is a great option for younger children who may not be able to fully articulate their feelings. In this approach, kids play with toys and games while a therapist observes and helps the child express their emotions and develop coping skills.

Do I need to attend therapy with my child?
Parents are an integral part of a child’s therapy, but the specifics of their involvement vary. If your child is young, you may attend most or all sessions; if your child is older, you may attend a few sessions or none; sometimes a therapist may ask you to have a session on your own. Whatever the arrangement, you should expect to work collaboratively with the therapist, your child, and your family members to take steps to help support your child.

How can I tell if a therapist is a good fit for my child?
A child needs to feel comfortable opening up about their thoughts and feelings, so if your child feels a sense of comfort, ease, and trust with their therapist, that’s a great sign. In addition, a therapist is a good fit for your child if the two can communicate well together; a clinician should be able to communicate clearly, effectively, and in an age-appropriate manner.
