I have over 15 years of experience working with children and families in community and educational settings.

I bring a person-centered, strengths-based, and trauma-sensitive approach to my counselling practice. My therapeutic approach is tailored to best fit each individual, child, and family, depending on their needs.

My goal is to establish a safe and compassionate relationship in which each individual feels deeply understood and supported. I believe in working collaboratively with each person to meet their goals and help navigate life’s challenges. I am passionate about supporting the emotional health of children by helping them to express their feelings and process experiences, facilitating their growth and development. When working with parents, my aim is to help provide insight into a child’s challenging behaviours and to offer strategies for making positive changes for families.
