With a specialized professional background counseling children and youth, I encourage young people's strengths and exploration of experiences and emotions through creative and developmentally appropriate interventions.
It takes courage opening up to another person. My role as a therapist is to meet you where you are, honouring your lived experience and values. With compassion and non-judgment, we will explore your story and begin your journey of self-discovery and healing in a safe and supportive space. My approach is grounded in anti-oppressive, culturally responsive, and trauma-informed frameworks that centers you as the expert of your own experiences​. In individual therapy, I firmly believe in fostering a strength-based, empowerment-centered, identity-affirming change process that actualizes self-reflection, liberation, and resilience.

In this time, I have worked with children, youth, young adults & families at the Centre for Addiction and Mental Health (CAMH), University of Toronto (U of T), the Toronto District School Board (TDSB) & an accredited community children's mental health agency.
Stress feels like it's coming from all angles 24/7. Whether it's school, work, family, friends or something you can't quite put your finger on, it can feel inescapable & hopeless. That same experience, knowledge & unique set of skills that you bring with you is just as important as the therapy itself. Furthermore, the effectiveness of a strength-based approach in a calming, therapeutic space that is collaborative, transparent & trauma-informed can provide an excellent starting point to attain your goals.

My best teachers are still my own three children, and I can personally vouch for the transformational success of connection in all relationships.
Parenting is hard, and no matter how much we ask, it doesn’t come with a manual. Childhood anxiety, depression, ADHD, teenage angst and everyday challenges are on the rise and learning where to go for help can be overwhelming. Despite our efforts, the resulting feelings of frustration and despair are very real. I have been there myself and understand that, like with learning any new skill, parenting takes work. Learning tools and applying them consistently while faced with numerous challenges requires support, compassion and gentle guidance. What's important to know is that you are not alone and that there is support available.

With experience of working with individuals from all walks of life, I provide support in matters such as abuse and trauma, addiction, domestic violence, family conflict, mental health and life transitions, while specializing in regulating the nervous system and healing the inner child (unresolved childhood needs & wounds that can impact the adulthood stage).
I believe that clients are the experts in their life and aim to act as a guide in helping them develop a deeper understanding of themselves. I am passionate about working with clients from a holistic perspective that focuses on the interconnectedness of the whole being – the mind, body and soul. My goal is to provide a safe, supportive, healing, integrative counselling approach by combining traditional talk therapy with alternative treatments, such as Breathwork, EFT Tapping/Thought Field Therapy, Mindfulness and Reiki Energy Healing modalities when appropriate.

Child Counsellors
Child psychologists in Kirkfield, ON provide mental health therapy to children and are experts in child development.

Every comprehensive review of therapy with children shows that all credible approaches, when performed by a competent mental health clinician, produce almost the same results. About half of all kids will get better. Of those that improve, 80% will show progress in a relatively short time, while the remaining 20% will need longer-term support.

The best child therapists in Kirkfield build great relationships with the child and the parent. They also see the child's strengths and are open to hearing the child's possible solutions to the challenges the child faces. Finally, a good therapist appreciates the child's culture and is sensitive to the values of the child's community.
