About

I help children (typically ages 4+), teens, and adults meet their goals and find healing. When you or your child are struggling with trauma, difficult life events, challenging behaviors, and anxiety it can be overwhelming to know where to start. I use a warm, non-judgemental approach to help individuals and families feel safe to show up as themselves to process painful experiences and feelings. When appropriate, I use humour because therapy can be fun too! I have 5+ years experience working with children, their families, and adults. I have experience working in schools and collaborating with educators to support growth. For my work with children and families, my practice is play therapy informed. I am in the second phase of play therapy training and have over 100 hours of training in play-based approaches including child-centered play therapy, sandtray, and expressive therapies. I also have training in EMDR to help all ages reprocess difficult memories and experiences. I know the importance of feeling safe and seen by your therapist when starting therapy. I strive to create an open, welcoming setting for you or your child to explore difficult feelings and experiences. We will start by getting to know each other to establish trust and build to working together as a team to achieve your goals and find relief.
