My website

My ideal clients are children, teens, and parents navigating anxiety, "big feelings," perfectionism, or school stress. Families often reach out when daily meltdowns, emotional shut-downs, or morning battles leave the household feeling exhausted and overwhelmed. Drawing on 20 years as an educator and clinical counsellor, I help clients move forward through child-centered play therapy, youth counselling, and practical parent support. Together, we build emotional regulation, frustration tolerance, and real-world tools that restore calm, confidence, and connection at home and school.

For Children: Expressive play therapy to help kids process anxiety, perfectionism, and big feelings in a safe, creative environment. For Teens & Youth: Grounded, practical therapy to navigate peer pressure, school stress, self-criticism, and life transitions. For Parents: Practical coaching and coregulation strategies to manage meltdowns, support school IEPs

I know how much courage it takes to reach out when life feels heavy. Whether you are seeking a safe space for your child to be heard or a compassionate place for your own healing, you don’t have to carry the weight alone. I invite you to reach out today for a free 20 minute phone call so we can begin moving toward with more ease and connection.
