ADHD, ODD, anxiety, trauma — school avoidance, meltdowns, another call from school, another classroom evacuation. I see your child, and I mean truly - I see your pain too. Their fire is safe with me. I adore wonderfully wired, beautifully complex humans — I am one too. I jive with intensity of all kinds. Pull up a chair (or exercise ball). Amherstburg, Lasalle & Windsor-Essex — kids, parents & growing adults, you belong here. Do they hear "Bad" hushed but in reach of their super ears? or maybe old wounds has you still playing "what is WRONG with me" on repeat — if any of this is part of your world, I got you. Nobody here is broken.
Therapy with me is as uniquely powerful and refreshing as the person in front of me. Trauma, attachment, & neurodiversity are my jam, drawing from EMDR, CoS, DDP, Theraplay, & Collaborative Problem Solving — fancy acronyms aside, my approach is flexible, collaborative, and grounded in a deep understanding of development, neurology, & the nervous system.
You don't need to have it all together before we connect. I'll let you in on a lil secret: none of us have all our shit together — and you don't have to figure out next steps alone. This is why I offer a free 15-min consult. Reach out however feels easiest. Your family deserves support that feels right for you. If you read this far, I think that might be me.
