Individual Therapy
Personal Growth
I believe in the transformative power of individual therapy. My personalized approach helps clients of all ages navigate their unique challenges, fostering resilience and well-being. I am a certified EMDR therapist with The EMDR International Association (EMDRIA) and a Certified Play Therapist with The Canadian Association for Play Therapy (CAPT).
My practice is centered on children, adolescents and family therapy. I intentionally carry a small caseload of adult clients to ensure focused, high quality care.
Below, outlined are specialized services for Little Ones, Children, Teens, and Adults.

Tailored Therapy for Individual Growth
Little Ones
Early intervention can significantly enhance a child’s mental and physical well-being, reduce family stress, and help prevent future issues. If you notice concerning changes in your child, such as withdrawal, sadness, anxiety, or a sudden loss of interest in activities they once enjoyed, it might be a sign they could benefit from professional support.
Signs that preschoolers might need help include:
- Increased frustration, anxiety, or sadness
- Difficulty regulating their emotions
- Issues with being excluded from preschool or playdates
- Actions that disrupt family life
Addressing these issues early is crucial. My therapeutic approach helps children learn positive habits before they develop longstanding patterns, enabling them to build healthy relationships with parents, peers, and other adults. Parents are actively involved in the therapy process, often participating in activities that support their child’s progress and foster family connections.
Child Therapy
In today’s fast-paced world, children face numerous challenges that can affect their happiness and self-identity. From navigating the digital landscape to dealing with peer issues and family conflicts, many kids experience stress and anxiety.
In my child therapy sessions, I work together with your child to uncover the thoughts and feelings behind their struggles. Through this process, they will learn new skills to tackle challenges head-on. I actively involve parents, ensuring they are part of the journey as well.
Challenges that children often face that would benefit with therapy:
- Anxiety and Stress: Therapy helps children develop coping mechanisms to manage various anxieties related to school, family conflicts, and peer relationships.
- Regulation Difficulties: I assist children in understanding and regulating their emotions, enhancing communication skills, and cultivating positive behavior patterns.
- Family Conflict and Transitions: Therapy provides a safe space for children to express feelings about changes like divorce or sibling conflicts, improving communication and strengthening familial relationships.
Early intervention promotes mental health and empowers children to thrive.
Teen Therapy
Adolescence is a time of immense growth, filled with emotional ups and downs. Teens access therapy for various reasons, including mental health issues, academic stress, family conflicts, and identity exploration.
My therapy sessions provide a supportive space where teens can address these issues and develop coping skills. Together, we’ll explore thoughts and feelings, uncovering the root of challenges. With compassion and understanding, we’ll engage in heartfelt conversations to help navigate this pivotal time in their lives.
Adult Therapy
While my main focus is supporting children, teens, and families, I also offer a limited number of spots for adults navigating anxiety, trauma, or life transitions. These sessions draw on the same trauma-informed, compassionate approach – tailored for adult clients who are ready to explore, heal, and grow.
In this space, we embark on a journey of self-discovery, exploring strengths and areas for growth. Life can be overwhelming, filled with self-doubt and stress, but with courage and commitment, we can transcend limitations and foster positive change.
I specialize in guiding clients through a spectrum of concerns, providing compassionate and mindful engagement. Together, we’ll pave the way for resilience and fulfillment in your life.
