Therapy must feel safe before it can be productive. To this end, I initially attempt to provide a sense of ease in counseling sessions. From there, I generally like to see if the client and myself can collaboratively identify what might be some goals. These goals can be anything from wishing to feel less anxious, sad, irritable, troubled, to addressing relationship difficulties at home or at work, to trying to better understand a feeling of being unfulfilled, or to think or feel differently about the past. In many cases, it is plenty to just to have a safe place to discuss anything at all in a confidential, non-judgemental setting.

My work is guided by the understanding that many emotional patterns and life challenges develop quietly over time, often outside of our immediate awareness. As Carl Jung wrote, “Until you make the unconscious conscious, it will direct your life and you will call it fate.” In therapy, we gently explore these underlying patterns together, helping you gain insight into how past experiences, emotions, and beliefs may be shaping your present life.

My ideal clients are people who appear to be coping on the outside but feel anxious, overwhelmed, burnt out, disconnected or stuck internally. They may come to therapy because of stress, ADHD or neurodivergence, low confidence, grief, relationship strain, trauma, emotional regulation difficulties or repeating patterns they want to understand. I help by offering a calm, professional space to make sense of what is happening, identify what keeps them stuck, and build practical, realistic steps forward.

FAQ - About Child Therapy
When does a child need to see a therapist?
Children naturally experience emotional ups and downs. Sometimes, though, they need support from a professional. A child may benefit from therapy if their emotions or behaviours change significantly within a short period of time. For example, if a child usually spends time with friends after school but begins isolating in their room, further inquiry is warranted. Other areas for concern include altered sleep patterns, lack of appetite, intense anger, irritability, or hopelessness, or developmental regression in young children (bedwetting, thumb-sucking).
What can a child therapist help with?
A therapist can help with any difficult experience a child may encounter growing up, including learning problems or anxiety related to school, relationship challenges with friends or parents, bullying, intense emotions or phobias, divorce and family dynamics, or the death of a pet or loved one. A therapist can help children process their experience and develop coping skills in an age-appropriate way
What therapy types are most suitable for children?
Children can benefit from different forms of therapy, including family therapy, parent-child interaction therapy, play therapy, cognitive behavioural therapy, and exposure therapy, depending on their condition. Play therapy is a great option for younger children who may not be able to fully articulate their feelings. In this approach, kids play with toys and games while a therapist observes and helps the child express their emotions and develop coping skills.
Do I need to attend therapy with my child?
Parents are an integral part of a child’s therapy, but the specifics of their involvement vary. If your child is young, you may attend most or all sessions; if your child is older, you may attend a few sessions or none; sometimes a therapist may ask you to have a session on your own. Whatever the arrangement, you should expect to work collaboratively with the therapist, your child, and your family members to take steps to help support your child.
How can I tell if a therapist is a good fit for my child?
A child needs to feel comfortable opening up about their thoughts and feelings, so if your child feels a sense of comfort, ease, and trust with their therapist, that’s a great sign. In addition, a therapist is a good fit for your child if the two can communicate well together; a clinician should be able to communicate clearly, effectively, and in an age-appropriate manner.
