I'm here to help with your child's big feelings and behaviours. If you're struggling to cope with anxiety, stress, trauma, or grief and loss, I can provide support to help navigate life's challenges. My approach is tailored to best fit each individual, child, and family. I offer a safe, warm, compassionate space where you and your child feel understood and supported. When working with parents, I provide insight into a child's challenging behaviours and offer strategies to make positive changes for families.
My approach is trauma-sensitive, person-centred, and strengths-based. I draw from my experience as a school counsellor, classroom teacher, day care provider, preschool instructor, and also as a mother of two, to support you, your child, and your family.
I'm working at Westcoast Wellness Centre, both in person and virtually. You can book a free 15-minute consultation to find out more about how I can help you. If any of the listed times don't work for you, please reach out to me so we can find a time that works for you.

I use an attachment-based, developmental approach to help parents make sense of their child's behaviour and understand how to respond to their child in a way that brings positive changes. When working with children, I use play therapy to help them express feelings and process difficult experiences, which supports their emotional regulation, growth, and development.
