My website
I offer child therapy, teen therapy, and motor vehicle accident counselling for those times when something just doesn’t feel quite right, even if it’s hard to explain why. With children, I often see big feelings show up through behaviour or changes that are hard for them to put into words. With teens, it can feel like everything is happening at once, from school to friendships to expectations, and it’s not always easy to open up. After a motor vehicle accident, you might notice things feel different, even if everything looks okay on the outside. In our sessions, we take things at your pace.
For children, when words are hard, play-based therapy creates space for expression. For teens, I offer a space to talk, figure things out, and feel understood—no filters, no expectations, just a space to be real. For adults recovering from a motor vehicle accident, I use approaches like CBT and EMDR that are supported by research to support your healing.
You don’t need to have the right words or have it all figured out before starting. Come as you are! Let’s make the first step easy. Start with a free, 15-minute phone consultation. A no-pressure chat to ask questions and see if therapy feels right for you or if I'm a good fit! Sessions are offered in English and Tagalog

I work with children, teens, and individuals recovering from motor vehicle accidents. In our sessions, we focus on what's been feeling difficult and find ways to support you moving forward. For children, this may look like play-based work. For teens and adults, it's a space to talk openly, build coping strategies, and begin to feel more like yourself again.

I use a mix of play-based therapy, CBT, solution-focused therapy, narrative therapy, and EMDR in my practice. In your first session, we'll talk about what brought you in and find an approach that fits your needs. With children, this may look like play. With teens and adults, we'll explore thoughts, emotions, and experiences, while building ways to cope, process, and support meaningful change.
