Child Therapists in Vaughan, ON
I have worked with children adolescents, parents and families for over 20 years in the fields of Education and Psychology.
Feeling like things are not okay for ourselves or our children is overwhelming. Sometimes we need to feel heard and understood to ease the burden. Connecting with a mental health professional can pave the way to healthier interactions and relationships. Learning to attune and connect to ourselves and our children is a powerful tool for the healing journey.

With a deep commitment to creating a safe, nurturing environment, I use an integrated approach to therapy, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, and Emotionally Focused Therapy, alongside other techniques for working with trauma and child therapy.
Feeling Overwhelmed, Exhausted, or Stuck? You Don’t Have to Navigate It Alone.
Life can feel like a constant uphill battle when you’re grappling with anxiety, burnout, or the weight of past trauma. The constant stress, sleepless nights, and emotional exhaustion can leave you wondering if things will ever feel normal again. If you're feeling disconnected from yourself, overwhelmed by your thoughts, or trapped in patterns that no longer serve you, I want you to know that healing is possible—and you don’t have to face it alone.

I strive to create a safe space for clients ( children, teens, adults, families) to express themselves and share their stories.
It's hard when you feel like you don't understand what is wrong with your loved one, and all you want to do is help. Perhaps more often than not, you struggle and/or feel frustrated and can't communicate without you and/or the other person becoming upset, and it feels hopeless trying to figure out how to fix the problem. During such difficult times, know that you're not alone, that your feelings are valid, and there is hope for things to change for the better.

I welcome any adult, child or teen who is in need of a safe and nonjudgemental space to express their thoughts and feelings, integrate difficult life experiences, and process internal conflicts.
Life will throw obstacles our way and it can be difficult to distinguish when we should consider leaning on someone for support. Seeking therapy takes courage and I respect you taking this brave first step. Perhaps you feel like you have unresolved issues or anxiety; like there is a weight on your chest that is too much to cope with. This may be causing you to feel stuck and overwhelmed, alone in your thoughts and emotions, confused, or depressed. I understand that this can be isolating and painful and that having a safe space to process pent up feelings can be helpful.
