Children
My approach to working with children centers on creating a safe, supportive space where they feel heard and understood. I use play-based interventions grounded in play therapy to help children express themselves, build emotional awareness, and develop healthy coping skills. My goal is to equip each child with tools they can carry with them to navigate life’s challenges with greater confidence. I value collaboration with caregivers and believe that supporting a child also means supporting the family system. Whether your child is experiencing anxiety, emotional outbursts, difficulties with transitions, or challenges at school, I work with you to create a plan that fits their unique needs and personality.Adolescent / Teen
I bring this same compassionate, reflective approach to my work with teens. Adolescence can be a time of emotional intensity, identity exploration, and social pressure, which can contribute to feelings of confusion, anxiety, or self-doubt. I strive to create a supportive space where teens feel heard, respected, and safe to express themselves openly. Using developmentally appropriate strategies, I help teens explore the underlying causes of their emotional distress and build greater self-awareness. My goal is to support teens in building resilience, confidence, and a stronger sense of self as they navigate this important stage of life.Trauma/PTSD
My work with individuals who have experienced trauma is focused on creating a space that feels safe, grounded, and non-judgmental. My approach is trauma-informed, which means I pay close attention to how trauma can show up in the body, mind, and relationships. I move at your pace and honour your story, always centring your sense of agency and choice in the process. I spent a couple of years volunteering on the distress line, which shaped how I show up for clients, present, calm, and open to whatever someone is carrying. Healing does not look the same for everyone, and I try to meet each person where they are.LGBTQ+ and Gender Identity
I am committed to creating a space where individuals from the LGBTQ+ community feel seen, safe, and supported. I understand that sharing your experiences can take time, and I do my best to meet you with care, curiosity, and respect. My role is to listen without judgment and to offer a space where you can speak freely, whether you are processing pain, exploring identity, or simply looking for a safe place to land.
