You’re tired of having the same argument over and over, or exhausted by anxiety and OCD that won’t let your mind rest. You care deeply about your partner, but conversations escalate quickly or leave you both feeling misunderstood. If you’re in a neurodivergent relationship, ADHD or autism may add another layer of confusion and hurt. You don’t want to keep living in this cycle. You want clarity, steadiness, and tools that actually help — and to feel understood rather than blamed.

I am a Registered Psychotherapist (CRPO), a member of CCPA and OACYC, and DIR/Floortime Certified for work with children and adolescents.
Even when life appears “together,” you carry more than others can see. You might be navigating grief, past trauma, family conflict, identity, anxiety, recurring relationship patterns, or major life changes while continuing to meet expectations and hold responsibilities. I work with women who want to understand why they feel the way they do, while also learning coping strategies, processing experiences, and exploring tools like cognitive reframing, reprocessing, and parts work. We focus on deepening your connection with yourself and the people you care about. Our work together is relational, guided by your needs, capacity, and goals.

Whether you are grappling with anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, childhood trauma, or simply seeking a compassionate, empathetic, and non-judgmental space to share and explore your feelings, I will meet you where you are at.
Sometimes the hardest part isn’t knowing what hurts, but it’s not having language for it yet. You might feel stuck in familiar patterns, overwhelmed by your emotions, or disconnected from yourself or others. Maybe you’ve tried to “think” your way through it, only to find your body and nervous system have their own story to tell. Therapy can be a space to slow down, listen more deeply, and gently make sense of what’s been carrying you.

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.
