Looking for that sense of belonging is what we desire as humans. Feeling accepted from others is not always easily obtained which can sometimes create states of distress, panic and loneliness. Self reflection is integral for growth but is not always practiced. Rebuilding that connection with yourself and others in your life can be difficult, but you don’t have to do it alone. ​

** I am currently accepting new clients** Mental health is important to me, as I am sure it probably is to you as well. I believe that at its core, therapeutic practice is rooted in the belief that our problems do not lie in us but between; in our relationship with ourselves and with others.

Is your child or teenager struggling socially or struggling in school? As a Counsellor with a focus on play therapy, I create a warm, nonjudgmental space where children can freely express themselves and engage in play that is meaningful to them. Play therapy can be effective in helping children with a wide range of issues, including anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, behavioral challenges, social skills development, and more. It allows children to develop coping skills, build resilience, and gain insight into their thoughts and feelings, empowering them to navigate life's challenges with confidence and resilience.

If there is one thing that I believe wholeheartedly it is the statement that, “you are enough.” No matter the circumstance, feeling, or emotion, we are able to navigate the situation. We may just need some help along the way. I focus on a holistic approach which integrates the mind, body, and spirit and truly believe if one of these three are not aligned, it creates a ripple effect throughout the rest of our being. I have experience in the trauma and crisis field and working with those who may have experienced post-traumatic stress. In addition to this, I have also worked with individuals experiencing life transitions.
