I'm a Registered Psychologist and have worked in a variety of settings providing clinical, community and school based therapeutic services for over 15 years. I work from a client-centered approach and believe that for change to occur there must be a genuine, non-judgemental relationship between the client and the therapist. I work collaboratively with my clients to help them gain greater awareness, insight and to ultimately create balance within their lives. I seek to empower my clients so they can build upon their own internal resources and develop better coping skills to help them deal with whatever life challenges they may face.

My experience is that we all deal with difficulties in our lives, perhaps one of the most damaging messages we receive early on is that we need to do it all alone and it's defeating feeling stuck and not knowing where to start. There's a pressure to change and do things differently, and succeed at everything, but as a person you live in a context that contributes to the problems you're facing. Change is hard and it happens through experimenting, failing and learning and it helps when gentle support and acceptance is present.

I am a registered psychologist who works with both adults and children.
My clients struggle as you do. Despite being successful, intelligent, and great problem solvers, life feels hard. They strive to be perfect, replay conversations in their mind, are worried about how others perceive them, and fail to acknowledge their accomplishements. They are continually trying to meet the needs of others and are left exhausted. My clients often experience racing thoughts, increased heart rate, a sense of panic, and a need to 'fix.' If this sounds like you, I'd love to help. Let's relieve those pressures and help you find joy and satisfaction again. Stop over-thinking, find peace.

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.
