My practice is dedicated to supporting children ages 5 to 12 years of age who are experiencing difficulties associated with anxiety-related disorders and general anxious thoughts and feelings.
Through the use of CBT strategies, children learn to utilize coping skills to manage their specific challenge(s) in a more effective and healthy way, recognize and accept feelings and uncomfortable physical symptoms, and better understand what their thoughts and behaviours might be trying to communicate.

In 20+ years of experience working with children & families, I have often contributed to change through an approach that emphasizes strengths and removes blame.
The concentration of my practice is working with families who are experiencing conflict, difficult emotions, and/or concerning behaviors. How should we react or respond? What can we do to help and support? How do we make sense of these big emotions and behaviors? I work with individuals and families through a systemic approach that strives to develop empathy and understanding and answer these important questions. The core of my practice explores safety and trust using an attachment lens. Through these explorations, I have been helpful in fostering significant growth within relationships and family units.

I specialize in helping children aged 0-12, along with their families. When kiddos experience trauma, their brains do their best to keep them safe, but this often results in behaviours and circumstances that are very challenging. I take a systems-level approach, speaking with family members, school teams, doctors, and whoever else I am given consent to collaborate with, so that all of us can be on the same page about interventions and strategies. If a child sees all of the adults in their world working together to care for them, they thrive. It takes a village to help a family. I hope you'll consider me for your village!
