As a psychotherapist, I support teens and adults through various challenges such as Autism, ADHD, Anxiety, Depression, and school/work related issues. Together, we work towards understanding your experiences, developing practical tools you can use outside of session, and promoting healing and growth. I also support parents navigating the challenges of raising a child with unique needs. Together, we work to better understand your child and develop new ways to respond to meltdowns, outbursts, or moments of disconnection. I help parents move from feeling overwhelmed and uncertain to feeling more confident and connected.
I work from a trauma-focused, strength-based, and neurodiversity-affirming approach and draw from evidence-based practices to meet the individual needs of each client. I focus on creating a calm, supportive, and collaborative space where clients feel seen, heard, and empowered to grow.
If you’re considering therapy for yourself or your child, I would be happy to connect and see how I can support you on this therapeutic journey.

For kids and teens, I combine talk therapy with play therapy techniques, helping them understand what they're feeling, how to communicate their feelings, and how to manage their thoughts and emotions. For parents, I offer guidance and support around navigating difficult moments, understanding their child's behaviour, and strengthening connection at home.
