I support children, youth and parents through emotional, behavioural, and developmental challenges using a warm, relational, and strengths-based approach. Whether your child is facing anxiety, ADHD, big emotions, or peer struggles, I use evidence-informed, creative strategies like therapeutic play activities, to help them feel understood and empowered.
I offer Parent Coaching to build practical tools and strategies to support positive growth of family life.
I provide individual counselling sessions for the young person as well as parent coaching. I can assist with such issues as anxiety, emotional regulation, school refusal, problem-solving, friendship skills, bullying, self-esteem building, ADHD, conversation skills, grief and bereavement, separation and divorce support.
I welcome children and youth who are struggling with anxiety and help them understand the distorted thought patterns and replace them with more functional thoughts. We explore and practice strategies and coping skills that will enable them to manage this condition more effectively. I offer appointments in either in-person or virtual formats.
