I am passionate about helping others discover how their or their child's unique brain learns best. I primarily work with the families of children and adolescents who are struggling in school, whether in their learning, attention, or behaviour. I especially appreciate working directly with families throughout the assessment and offering strategies to best support their child's needs. I also enjoy working with adults who feel that they slipped through the cracks in school, and would like to know more about their unique learning challenges.

As someone who values connection, I believe that a trusting relationship is truly the foundation for growth and healing. Whether it is anxiety, depression, interpersonal relationships, past trauma, or the stress of everyday life that has brought you to therapy, your stories and experiences are worthy of being seen. In my office, I strive to create a space that allows clients to unpack all the difficult, messy, and sometimes beautiful things life has thrown at them, and help create a path forward with new insight.

Each of us has our own unique life experiences and I believe that our ability to navigate our lives requires an appreciation of those experiences and the different difficulties we might face. The root cause of these difficulties could be related to many factors, such as our past or current experiences, and at times, we may need additional supports or just a person outside our social circle to help us in a friendly and safe space. Effective therapy is fostered through genuine connections with people, where the therapist is not only empathetic, but also sensitive and responsive to a person’s needs at a given moment during therapy.

Life transitions and expectations can be overwhelming. Maybe you are wearing many hats and feel like you've lost yourself balancing everyone else's needs. Or perhaps the losses you have faced are so heavy that it feels almost impossible to take the next step. I have over a decade of experience supporting individuals and families from diverse backgrounds who face challenges with relationships, grief or parenting. My experience includes supporting first and second-generation immigrants and mixed-raced individuals from a cross-cultural lens that addresses Identity, belonging, and intergenerational healing.

Education and Learning Disabilities Counsellors
How effective is treatment for learning disabilities?
When initiated early and tailored to a child’s specific needs, learning disability treatment can be quite effective at helping a child cope with their disability, though its exact efficacy may depend on the severity of symptoms and whether comorbid disorders exist. Less is known about treatment initiated in adulthood, but it is certainly possible that an adult with a learning disability will see some improvement—or at the very least, identify workarounds and accommodations that could make symptoms less burdensome in day-to-day life.
When should someone seek treatment for learning disabilities?
It’s best to seek treatment as early as possible. Because learning disabilities often go unnoticed until a child starts school, or even until they’re a few years along, regular check-ins with teachers and doctors can help parents determine whether children are meeting milestones and keeping up with peers or whether an evaluation for learning disabilities may be warranted. And although earlier is always better, it’s never too late to be evaluated for learning disabilities and to seek treatment.
What happens if learning disabilities are left untreated?
Undiagnosed and untreated learning disabilities can be a source of significant frustration and shame for a child, who may feel that their challenges stem from a lack of intelligence or willpower. Such feelings can trigger low self-esteem, depression, or anxiety, which may push a child toward risky behaviors, including substance use. In adulthood, untreated learning disabilities can interfere with career success, and lingering feelings of self-doubt and shame can negatively affect someone’s mental health.
Are there medications for learning disabilities?
Currently, there are no medications designed to treat specific learning disabilities such as dysgraphia or dyscalculia. However, someone with a learning disability may be prescribed medication for a comorbid condition, such as anxiety, depression, or ADHD, which may have positive downstream effects on their learning disability; for example, a child with both ADHD and dyslexia may find that they’re better able to focus on their reading exercises after being prescribed a stimulant medication.
