I am a calm, playful and understanding psychotherapist who guides children, teens and families who are being bossed around by anxiety and stress.
I help children and teens to cope with stress, sadness, worry and anger using evidenced- based treatment modalities that best suit each individual. After meeting with me, clients report that they are sleeping better, they get along better with their friends and families, they are more motivated and they generally feel happier.

I have spent more than 20 years working with families of children with identified learning disorders, in another field, I have watched the struggle parents and kids experience.
My gentle approach creates a safe, nurturing environment where clients feel heard and valued. I emphasize skill-building for emotional regulation and better parenting, effective communication, understanding the differences between sensory overload meltdowns and “bad” behaviour or acting out, and developing healthy habits to love oneself.
