It can be hard watching our child struggle whether it be with anxiety, fear, anger, big emotions, loss, trauma or significant life changes and if any of this is resonating with you I believe you are in the right place. As a Certified Play Therapist my approach to therapy allows children of all ages to use their natural language of play to process and communicate their inner world in a safe environment where they feel seen, heard and understood. And yes - we can do all of this while also having fun!

You’re getting calls from the school about your child. That’s if he even makes it to school. Your sweet little baby is almost unrecognizable. She hates herself, she hates you, and you’re an idiot for trying to help. He spends most of his time in his room glued to the phone or yelling at you. And you can’t figure out what’s going on. Or maybe you're struggling issues around parenting, post-partum issues, or your own relationships. Your anxiety is out of control, you feel hopeless, you know something has to change. Adulting is hard.

If your child or adolescent is struggling with issues around peer relationships, anxiety, depression, school, parental separation, gender identity, ADHD, and other types of neurodiversity, I can help.

We are passionate about what we do and are so excited to connect with you or your child.
You’re exhausted with all that life has been throwing at you lately. All the strategies you’ve tried have only brought temporary gains or have somehow made things worse. You need support and a new perspective. You have a busy life and don’t have the time to drive all over the place trying desperately to connect with a therapist. Or maybe you've been to therapy but have just never found the right 'fit'. You really need a therapist who cares and who won't judge you. You’ve come to the right place. You can find the support you need here – for yourself, for you and your partner, or even for your preteen or teen.

Are you or your child feeling stressed, stuck, unmotivated or alone? Do you find that you are being overwhelmed by thoughts and/or emotions or snapping at those around you? Maybe you want to make changes but aren't sure where to start? Perhaps you describe yourself as anxious or stressed or unable to figure out what to do or as someone who is lacking motivation. Feeling different or "better" might be something you are seeking.

I believe relationships and connections are foundational to our mental health and well-being. When we feel connected to others we are better able to explore, heal, and adapt. My goal is to support people at any age with learning new skills, exploring emotions, and sharing experiences. When working with me you can expect an open, warm, and non-judgmental perspective.

Teens and young adults have so much going on and can really struggle. Even when they look good on the outside. Between school stuff, friend drama, boyfriends, girlfriends, breakups, jobs, sports, and trying to cope and manage with everything coming their way, it's no wonder they blow up, shut down, and lose it. And when parents try to help, they're "nagging" or "don't understand." Counselling can help them find their way back. I work teens to help figure things out and manage their big feelings in a healthier way, letting them feel more in control, reduce anxiety and depression, and help get them back on track.

You are feeling overwhelmed in life - your emotions, thoughts, and circumstances are becoming overbearing. Pulling away from others to try to deal with these issues is no longer working.

Whether you are dealing with work or school stress, relationship stress, loss, or new developments in life, I can help you in finding your way again.
