New July 2026: Are you a 25-45 year old, type A overachieving woman with late-diagnosed (or suspected) ADHD who has a hard time regulating big emotions, saying no, or speaking your truth? To others, it looks like you've got it all together, but inside your mind won't stop racing, your body is it fight-or-flight, and you feel so burned out you crash, zoning out by scrolling endless reels, ordering takeout (again), or having just one more glass of wine. You've tried to feel better - journaling, meditation, mental health walks, therapy reels, drinking water, self help books, maybe even therapy - but nothing seems to work for long

As a Registered Psychotherapist, I use a variety of modalities and approaches to treatment.

My practice focuses on helping individuals to understand and develop a greater understanding of their struggle through cognitive, affective, Behavioural and systematic intervention strategies that address wellness, personal growth and pathology.

” Exhaustion from routines, kids’ schedules, workplace stress, and even misaligned political views or values can quietly begin to pull you apart.
I guide couples and families through a structured conversation process. You sit facing each other and take turns speaking. One person talks while the other repeats back what they heard before responding. I guide each step so you slow down, listen to understand, and speak clearly. This creates safety, reduces defensiveness, and builds a stronger connection.

FAQ - About Child Therapy
When does a child need to see a therapist?
Children naturally experience emotional ups and downs. Sometimes, though, they need support from a professional. A child may benefit from therapy if their emotions or behaviours change significantly within a short period of time. For example, if a child usually spends time with friends after school but begins isolating in their room, further inquiry is warranted. Other areas for concern include altered sleep patterns, lack of appetite, intense anger, irritability, or hopelessness, or developmental regression in young children (bedwetting, thumb-sucking).
What can a child therapist help with?
A therapist can help with any difficult experience a child may encounter growing up, including learning problems or anxiety related to school, relationship challenges with friends or parents, bullying, intense emotions or phobias, divorce and family dynamics, or the death of a pet or loved one. A therapist can help children process their experience and develop coping skills in an age-appropriate way
What therapy types are most suitable for children?
Children can benefit from different forms of therapy, including family therapy, parent-child interaction therapy, play therapy, cognitive behavioural therapy, and exposure therapy, depending on their condition. Play therapy is a great option for younger children who may not be able to fully articulate their feelings. In this approach, kids play with toys and games while a therapist observes and helps the child express their emotions and develop coping skills.
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 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.
