Returning clients only. Is your child experiencing frequent worries, difficulty sitting still and paying attention in school, or difficulty making friends? Are you hoping your child will gain new coping strategies to manage difficult emotions?

We also work directly with parents/caregivers to develop new strategies to support their children 's challenging behaviours and emotional development.

Despite our best efforts to live healthy, fulfilling lives, life can get messy...I understand. Whether you are facing stressful life events, relationship difficulties, or distressing inner struggles, I believe therapy can be an excellent way to restore mental, emotional and relational health. Space is available for individuals, couples, and children . I have experience with issues of anxiety, depression and grief. I can help with school/workplace bullying, anger, and emotional regulation. I also have experience with issues of trauma and domestic violence. Together we can work on communication and relationship building, adjustments to major life transitions, and family issues.

Life happens and sometimes you need a little help learning new strategies for coping with life’s stressors —your child ’s behaviour, transitions, new phases in your life, a traumatic event. An outside perspective can work wonders on your mental health and one rooted in evidence-based research provides even better results. I am a bilingual registered psychotherapist and certified counsellor focusing on children , parenting, and youth and young adults. I practice in a “positive space” and celebrate diversity. I am committed to creating a welcoming and inclusive environment where you can share and express all aspects of your identities.
