Parenting a child with big behaviours, anxiety, or neurodivergent needs can feel exhausting and isolating. I provide counselling and consultation for children, teens, and adults across Saskatchewan (virtual) and in Saskatoon (in-person). My work focuses on behaviour, ADHD, emotional regulation, and neurodivergent support — including school support and navigation, home and routine consultation, and behaviour strategy sessions. I offer calm, structured support to help people slow things down, feel less alone in what they’re carrying, and move forward with greater clarity.
I offer child counselling and teen therapy for anxiety, ADHD, behavioural concerns, and school stress. Sessions are structured and practical, helping young people strengthen emotional regulation and communication skills — and giving parents clear strategies they can use at home and at school.
I support adults and parents navigating anxiety, burnout, parenting stress, and life transitions. Together, we untangle what feels stuck and build practical, steady steps forward. My approach is trauma-informed, strengths-based, and grounded in real, day-to-day life.
