I take a creative counselling approach in my work with children.
Tired of arguing? Not feeling heard, appreciated or connected the way you once did? I work with couples, helping them learn how to communicate more effectively, reducing arguing, anger and negativity, helping them have the relationship they long for. I also work sensitively to help couples with their sexual health.

I hold a master’s degree in Child and Adolescent Clinical Psychology and am currently a candidate of CICAPP.
I work to create a safe space for clients to explore their thoughts, emotions and behaviours. Through a client-oriented, insight-oriented approach, I aim to help clients uncover the underlying roots of their problems and symptoms. I believe that a symptom important enough to instigate a trip to the therapist has typically resulted from many different interacting factors. In my practice, I assist clients in exploring these factors and the dynamic organization to the way they unconsciously register experience. By doing so, we can work to bring about desired changes.

Hello and welcome! Being a parent can be frustrating, lonely, draining and confusing. At the same time, being a child/teen is also so confusing, stressful and overwhelming much of the time. While these relationships can be a source of pain, our connection to each other is also essential to our well-being. I work with children, teens and parents to help understand, work through and heal from pain and rebuild joy through connection. I will spend a lot of time really getting to know you and your family’s story. I aim to be compassionate and non-judgmental, understanding we all have a good reason for why we do the things we do.

In my work with youth, I strongly believe in the value of a team approach with families to best support their child’s needs.
In my supervised private practice I provide mental health support to women as well as families. I utilize evidence-based interventions and strive to create a safe, non-judgemental, and trusting therapeutic relationship with my clients. As a young mother I can empathize with the challenges women and families go through. Parents only want what is best for their children and it can be really difficult when they are struggling. In my supervised private practice I work with women, children ages 6-10, and adolescents ages 11-17.

I love working with children, teens, and adults facing anxiety, depression, low mood, lack of motivation and purpose, complex trauma, abusive relationships, suicide & self harm, as well as ADHD & ASD and personality disorders.
I am so excited you are here! Therapy for me has been a place of safety, growth, and healing, and my passion is to provide the same for you. I believe we are born with an intuitive sense of knowing, and as we grow up, our experiences can either drown out, or confuse our own intuition. My goal is for you to find a place of safety in which you can heal, and gently tune back in to your own voice & intuition to guide you. Your unique experiences and pain deserve to be given attention and care, and through this process we can discover and heal what is hindering you from living your life to the fullest.
