Sharing your innermost thoughts and feelings can be hard. As your therapist, I'm here to listen and help guide you and your children through challenging times. I practice client-centered techniques such as narrative therapy, family systems, art therapy, storytelling approaches, sand-tray therapy and relationship enhancing parent/child activities. While adults talk, a child's language is play, their words are toys. I use puppets, art, sand-tray, games etc. to help them express their feelings. Every child deserves to be seen and heard. I also use sand tray and art with youth and adults to help them express emotions symbolically.
I possess a Master's degree in Counseling and Guidance from the University of Manitoba, as well as the three levels of Play Therapy Training from the Canadian Association of Play Therapy (CAPT).
I also have training in Attachment, Modified Interaction Guidance, Theraplay and mind-body connection to trauma. My areas of expertise include working with adults and children affected by domestic violence and trauma work. I am also recently trained in EMDR.
I am here to hold safe space for you and to walk alongside your journey.
