I have spent over 10 years supporting children, adolescents, emerging adults, and parents in the area of mental health and well-being. As a registered clinical social worker, I adopt a client-centred approach utilizing various treatment modalities, such as Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), DBT skills, Narrative Therapy and Solution-Focused Therapy. I work with children, teenagers, and young adults struggling with issues such as anxiety, depression, self-harm, obsessive–compulsive disorder (OCD), and social behavioural challenges (emotional regulation, and ADHD symptoms).
I use psycho-education, empathetic and client-centred talk-therapy, the SPACE treatment for anxiety, CBT, DBT-informed interventions, Play therapy, and therapy modalities. I believe that it does indeed take a village to raise a child, and I encourage parents and caregivers to engage with me in their support.
As a parent of five children, I know first-hand how challenging it is to watch your child struggle with mental health issues. Children and youth are resilient, yet often they need support to make their way through life’s challenges. I am happy to connect with you and your family: please reach out either via email or phone for a free consultation.

Groups
Supportive Parenting for Anxious Childhood Emotion
The SPACE Program (Supportive Parenting for Anxious Childhood Emotions) is a theory-driven intervention for the symptoms of childhood anxiety and by the biology of mammalian parental behaviour. SPACE teaches parents to recognize their accommodating behaviours, and to implement specific plans for reducing the accommodation while maintaining an empathic and supportive attitude towards the child. The treatment also includes tools for: Increasing parents' ability to work cooperatively together; coping with responses to the reduced accommodation, including anger and distress; and for enlisting the support of family and friends in what can sometimes be a difficult process.
