I am passionate about supporting children (ages 6+), adolescents, and young adults as they navigate the challenges that can arise during periods of growth and change. At times, we can feel overwhelmed by emotions such as stress, worry, anger, and sadness. These feelings are completely valid, and healing begins by making space for, acknowledging, and understanding our emotions. My counselling approach is gentle, warm, and collaborative, tailored to the client's needs. I work alongside individuals and families to process challenges, develop healthy coping strategies, and build emotional awareness, resilience, and hope for the future.
I provide a safe and supportive space for young people navigating life transitions, trauma, grief and loss, self-esteem and identity concerns, and difficulties with communication and emotional regulation. I provide neurodiversity-affirming support to individuals and their families. I also offer school readiness, subject choice, and career assessments.
Seeking support and investing in your or your child's mental health is a big and courageous step. Please know that you do not have to navigate life's challenges alone. Whether you are looking for support for yourself or your child, you are welcome to reach out to learn more or to take the next step towards healing and growth.
