We will work together to help your child better understand their feelings, explore the sources of their stress, and learn coping mechanisms that will help them.
Child and Teen Psychotherapist. You feel overwhelmed and confused because your child is struggling and you don’t know how to help. You get phone calls from school about your child’s behaviour and it makes you feel like you’re doing something wrong and are not a good enough parent. Your child is feeling stressed, anxious, and acting out at school. You see your child is extremely distressed and you want to be able to help them. You feel so stressed because you have too much on your plate and you can’t do it all.

Some people have been dealt a difficult hand in life which can make pushing forward seem impossible. Challenges like anxiety, depression, stress, trauma, and relational issues can be hard to navigate alone. I believe each person has the ability and skill to be able to help themselves. It's my role to help support people in that process. My job is not to “fix”, but to guide and assist you with becoming your best self. I have worked in both clinical and community settings with individuals, families, children, and youth from various ages and backgrounds and have learned much about the strength of the people I have worked with.
