I am committed to standing beside individuals, couples, children and families to help them to live the lives they want to live, and to be the people they want to be.
Sometimes problems feel so big it seems almost like that's all there is in your life. My job is to help you reclaim your life from those problems, to be able to make the choices YOU want to make about your life, rather than feeling like you have to accept the choices it feels like your problems are making for you. I want to help you live the life YOU want to see for yourself - to live according to what matters to YOU. YOUR values and beliefs, YOUR chosen purposes in life, YOUR dreams.

Do you know a child or youth who is experiencing behavioural, emotional, or developmental challenges? If so, I can help! Traditional talk therapy can be intimidating, especially for young people. Using experiential approaches, I walk beside my clients as they recognize the power they hold to create wellness in their lives, experience growth, and reach their full potential. Allowing young people to be creative throughout the therapeutic process enables us to see the world through their eyes, which I believe is an essential part of assisting them overcome the challenges in their lives.

Children have insight into who they are and who they want to become.
Children are introspective, they have valuable insight and ideas around their strengths, challenges and goals. Children can be collaborative partners in the counselling journey. Encouraging children to use their voice and insight empowers and inspires them for growth and change. I have worked with children aged 3-19 on various issues including abuse, neglect, trauma, family reunification, grief and loss, separation and divorce, self-harm, anxiety, depression, challenging behaviours, screen time, self esteem, self confidence and identity. Each child is unique and deserves a collaboratively established personalized counselling plan.

Many young people and their families reach out seeking support for the daily struggles of life. These include anxious thoughts, stress, school avoidance, family conflict, grief and loss and other challenges. Families are often seeking support and guidance as they do not know where to turn when their child or adolescent faces difficulties. Together we will work on both building your child 's protective factors and responding to the problems impacting their potential. I provide care that includes parent sessions, liaison with school teams, and seeking solutions.

Could your child , teen or young adult use some support right now?

Our goal is to use the process of art making during sessions to explore the challenges and process distressing emotions in a healthy way. Art makes difficult things easier to talk about; it can help increase self-awareness, teach emotional regulation, manage anxiety and navigate challenges such as bullying, divorce, identity, illness, diagnoses and more.

Child Counsellors

Do I need to attend therapy with my child?

Parents are an integral part of a child’s therapy, but the specifics of their involvement vary. If your child is young, you may attend most or all sessions; if your child is older, you may attend a few sessions or none; sometimes a therapist may ask you to have a session on your own. Whatever the arrangement, you should expect to work collaboratively with the therapist, your child, and your family members to take steps to help support your child.

How long are sessions with child therapists?

Children’s therapy sessions can last 30 minutes, 45 minutes, or 60 minutes. The length of the session may depend on your child’s age and the type of therapy practiced. You can discuss this with therapists you consult and the one you ultimately move forward with.

How do I get a child to agree to seek therapy?

The best approach is to have an open-ended conversation with your child about how they’re doing and what they might be struggling with. When you raise therapy, discuss the concept in an age-appropriate way, for example explaining that a therapist’s job is to help kids handle their hard or uncomfortable feelings. Frame therapy positively, as an opportunity to explore and build emotional skills—it’s an important tool in the toolbox to help kids feel their best.

How can I tell if a therapist is a good fit for my child?

A child needs to feel comfortable opening up about their thoughts and feelings, so if your child feels a sense of comfort, ease, and trust with their therapist, that’s a great sign. In addition, a therapist is a good fit for your child if the two can communicate well together; a clinician should be able to communicate clearly, effectively, and in an age-appropriate manner.
