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.

Are you facing challenges in getting pregnant, having prenatal anxiety or postpartum depression? These experiences can leave you feeling isolated, overwhelmed, and even hopeless at times. Starting a new family is meant to be a happy time of our lives - a new milestone and a new beginning. However, it could also create mixed feelings that can be debilitating. You have tried to cope but things are still not getting any easier. Although stress is a natural response, it could take a toll on your mental health when it persists for too long.

Choosing a therapist that is right for you can be a tricky process, it’s important to find someone to work with who will tailor their approach to meet your specific needs. I collaborate with my clients to help them explore more effective ways to manage and cope with thoughts, feelings or situations that may be preventing them from being the person they want to be, and living the life they want to live.

*ACCEPTING NEW CLIENT'S* I am so glad you are here and putting forth your needs first or maybe you are here because your friend or family member needs support or you are just tired of feeling this ‘Numb’ feeling and you want some answers as to “Why are you feeling this way? or asking yourself “Why don’t I feel happy or sad anymore?”, “Why am I like this?”, What is wrong with me? If I have made you question yourself right now then you are in the right place with the right person. As your therapist, I will help you explore all these feelings and will support you for your Mindful Comeback starting at your own pace.

I work with individuals who are pregnant and in the postpartum period, those who are trying to conceive, as well as, individuals who experience anxiety, rage, OCD, PTSD and Birth Trauma.

Does this sound like you? You're a highly sensitive person and or empath. Maybe you're the Type A, overachieving type who has a hard time truly saying what you mean or setting boundaries with the people in your life. You're passionate about personal growth, willing to "do the work" - maybe you've even been to therapy before. For you, maybe it shows up as anxiety or ADHD, maybe it's a difficult relationship with your mom or dad, a history of childhood trauma, difficulty breaking bad habits, workplace stress/burnout, procrastination, difficulty in your romantic relationship, or a sense of worthlessness you just can't seem to heal.

I provide individual, couples & family therapy to children, youth & adults. Do you often feel weighed down by feelings of anxiety or sadness?

Over the years, I have helped hundreds of children, adults, families & couples regain control of their lives & move towards a better future. We will build a trusting, caring & understanding relationship, while helping you to replace unhelpful behaviours & beliefs with ones that are more effective.
