I work with children (4+), teens, young adults, and parents navigating challenges with emotion regulation, trauma, attachment, anxiety, self-esteem, and parenting. Many come feeling overwhelmed, disconnected, or stuck; they come seeking a sense of safety and the tools to navigate life’s challenges. Together, we work toward building confidence, managing big feelings, fostering healthier relationships, and developing resilience. Whether you're a parent seeking support for your child, a teen facing intense emotions, or a young adult finding your way, I offer a space for healing, growth, and authentic connection.
I offer a warm, client-centered approach rooted in trauma-informed and attachment-based care. Because every person is unique, I draw from a variety of modalities including Play Therapy, EMDR, IFS, Self-Compassion, and mindfulness, to tailor support to your needs. Together we’ll craft an approach that feels safe, collaborative, and just right for you.
Reaching out for support can feel vulnerable and takes courage. Whether you're navigating anxiety, challenging behaviours, parenting struggles, or seeking healing after hard experiences, you're not alone. I offer a warm, non-judgmental space where we can explore things together. When you're ready, I'm here to walk alongside you.
