I use a strengths-based approach to support children, adults, and families to better understand neurodivergent brains, build self-compassion and confidence.
Navigating life with ADHD and other types of neurodivergence can be challenging. Do you struggle to stay focused and finish tasks on time, or have difficulty managing intense emotions or impulsive behaviours? Do you also feel anxious or depressed, and find it difficult to feel balanced at home, school or at work? If these challenges have you feeling overwhelmed or struggling with your self-worth, you’re not alone.

When kids or teens are living with ADHD, big emotions, or behaviour struggles, everyday life can quickly become stressful for the whole family.
As a therapist specializing in ADHD, behaviour concerns, parenting, and family balance, I walk alongside you to create strategies that work for your unique family. Together, we’ll build practical tools, strengthen relationships, and bring more ease into daily life so both you and your child can thrive.

Over the past 10 years, I've had the privilege of working with children and adolescents to help improve their social-emotional health and well-being.
My approach is evidence-based, while also building on each client’s unique strengths and needs. I focus on creating a strong therapeutic bond and an environment where children and parents feel comfortable and at ease. My goal is to provide clients with tools for their "toolbox" to help them move forward in their lives and navigate bumps along the way.

I love working with children, teens, and adults facing anxiety, depression, low mood, lack of motivation and purpose, complex trauma, abusive relationships, suicide & self harm, as well as ADHD & ASD and personality disorders.
I am so excited you are here! Therapy for me has been a place of safety, growth, and healing, and my passion is to provide the same for you. I believe we are born with an intuitive sense of knowing, and as we grow up, our experiences can either drown out, or confuse our own intuition. My goal is for you to find a place of safety in which you can heal, and gently tune back in to your own voice & intuition to guide you. Your unique experiences and pain deserve to be given attention and care, and through this process we can discover and heal what is hindering you from living your life to the fullest.

Since April 2024, I’ve supported children, youth, and families in Burlington through the emotional highs and lows of school, life, and trauma.
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.

Self-awareness is the foundation of a healing journey, the beginning of creating meaningful changes that reflect each persons unique strengths. I believe in offering a safe and supportive space for clients to explore their experiences, identify patterns and reflect on their emotions.

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.
