I work with children and teens experiencing mood and anxiety disorders, learning disorders, behavioral difficulties (e.g. ADHD), developmental disorders (e.g. Autism Spectrum Disorders), developmental disabilities, and family relationship difficulties.
I specialize in assessments for learning disabilities, attention-deficit disorders, autism spectrum disorders, and developmental disabilities. My assessments are comprehensive and include input from parents, students, and their teachers. I aim to provide families with an in-depth review of their child's strengths and needs, along with applicable recommendations to support those needs.

I work with school-age children and adolescents who are struggling with big emotions like anxiety, anger, grief, or overwhelm. They may have trouble expressing themselves, managing behaviours, or navigating life changes.
Parents often feel stuck, unsure how to help, and worried about their child’s well-being. I am someone who can connect with their child in a meaningful way, build skills through play and conversation, and offer support that makes a real difference at home.
These families want peace, connection, and tools that work. Most of all, they want to know their child will be okay and I help them get there together

Many people come to therapy not because everything is falling apart, but because something inside feels tight, muted, or out of reach. You may be functioning well on the outside while feeling overwhelmed, disconnected, or unsure of yourself on the inside. My work is Gestalt-informed, body-based, and art-centered, which means we pay attention to what emerges through sensation, emotion, image, and lived experience, not just words. You don’t need to be creative, broken, or in crisis to come. Therapy here is a place to slow down, listen inwardly, and reconnect with what feels real, alive, and true for you. You are not alone.

My primary goal in counselling is to support clients in their understanding of self. Recognition of your individual dignity, value and unique experiences allows you to journey towards stronger mental health. Even difficult times can support growth, new found knowledge and strength and potential. Counselling allows me to help you recognize and enhance your own power to thrive and/or heal. Reflective practice and careful listening allows me to see and hear the pieces of your story that you may be too close to notice.

With a decade of experience - I work with teenagers navigating anxiety, low mood, self-esteem struggles, identity, school stress, and big life transitions - and I love this age group. Adolescence is a lot .... bodies changing, friendships shifting, pressure from every direction, and the push-pull of wanting independence while still needing support. My job is to make therapy feel like a space where a teen can actually be honest, not performed.

Education and Learning Disabilities Counsellors
How effective is treatment for learning disabilities?
When initiated early and tailored to a child’s specific needs, learning disability treatment can be quite effective at helping a child cope with their disability, though its exact efficacy may depend on the severity of symptoms and whether comorbid disorders exist. Less is known about treatment initiated in adulthood, but it is certainly possible that an adult with a learning disability will see some improvement—or at the very least, identify workarounds and accommodations that could make symptoms less burdensome in day-to-day life.
When should someone seek treatment for learning disabilities?
It’s best to seek treatment as early as possible. Because learning disabilities often go unnoticed until a child starts school, or even until they’re a few years along, regular check-ins with teachers and doctors can help parents determine whether children are meeting milestones and keeping up with peers or whether an evaluation for learning disabilities may be warranted. And although earlier is always better, it’s never too late to be evaluated for learning disabilities and to seek treatment.
What happens if learning disabilities are left untreated?
Undiagnosed and untreated learning disabilities can be a source of significant frustration and shame for a child, who may feel that their challenges stem from a lack of intelligence or willpower. Such feelings can trigger low self-esteem, depression, or anxiety, which may push a child toward risky behaviors, including substance use. In adulthood, untreated learning disabilities can interfere with career success, and lingering feelings of self-doubt and shame can negatively affect someone’s mental health.
Are there medications for learning disabilities?
Currently, there are no medications designed to treat specific learning disabilities such as dysgraphia or dyscalculia. However, someone with a learning disability may be prescribed medication for a comorbid condition, such as anxiety, depression, or ADHD, which may have positive downstream effects on their learning disability; for example, a child with both ADHD and dyslexia may find that they’re better able to focus on their reading exercises after being prescribed a stimulant medication.
