Whether a child is dealing with anxiety, depression, grief and loss, family separation or divorce, or difficulty regulating emotions, Play Therapy helps children learn new tools and develop resilience they can easily transfer into their day to day lives.
Childhood is often thought of as a magical time. The reality is that many kids face problems that leave them feeling worried, scared, angry, sad or confused. This can be difficult and heart breaking for parents trying their best to connect with and support their child. Very often, despite a caregiver’s best effort to learn more and help solve the problem, a child’s response is “I don’t know”. Play therapy can help provide children with the tools they need to express their thoughts and explore their inner world.

Life challenges can feel incredibly overwhelming and may leave you feeling anxious, isolated, stuck, or disconnected. When our minds become overwhelmed with negative thoughts and painful emotions, it can feel hard to get through the day, especially if our personal support systems are removed or limited. Negative thoughts can creep in: hopelessness, sadness and self-doubt cloud your vision. I offer therapy for those who are struggling with a role transition, parenthood, experiencing grief, low mood, anxiety, stress, distressing thoughts, infertility, pregnancy, postpartum mood disorders, pregnancy loss, or feeling isolated and alone.

Are you struggling to find balance in your daily life challenges? I work with individuals and couples that may be experiencing emotional dysregulation, irregular feelings or feelings of insignificance in their lives or relationships. If you're experiencing difficulty with impulse control, overwhelming sadness or having difficulty processing grief or life transitions, you aren't alone. I understand the isolation of feeling dysregulated and trapped without the ability to express intense thoughts and feelings.

I see people who are struggling with depression, anxiety, addictions, adjustment to change in their lives, relationship or family conflict, or the residual pain left from difficult childhoods or painful life events. My way of working as a therapist is to get to know you: your hopes, your talents, your problems and your unique way of thinking and expressing yourself. We then proceed with treatment based on who you are and what you need. The aim is to allow coping with your weaknesses to help you uncover your strengths, and your way forward.
