I’ve been working in children’s mental health since 2014 and feel grateful to support kids, teens, and families every day. Over time, my approach has become more intentional, flexible, and responsive to each child and family’s unique needs.
I work from a trauma-informed, attachment-based, and neurodiversity-affirming lens. I draw from a “theory shelf” of evidence-based approaches, adjusting to where a child or family is developmentally, emotionally, and neurologically. There’s no one-size-fits-all in therapy, I’m always assessing and adapting to make sure our work fits your child and family.
With younger children, I use Child-Centered Play Therapy and Cognitive-Behavioral Play Therapy to help kids express themselves, process feelings, and strengthen relationships at home. With teens, I use Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behaviour Therapy, Sand Tray Therapy, expressive arts, and talk therapy to support healing, confidence, and emotional resilience. With families, I integrate Emotion-Focused Family Therapy and attachment-based approaches to foster connection, communication, and co-regulation.
I design my therapy space with purpose. Every element - from toys and sensory tools to coping supports and creative materials, is thoughtfully chosen to meet the unique needs of children, teens, and families. The environment is calm, predictable, and structured to support regulation, engagement, and emotional safety, so clients feel ready to do the hard work of growth.
Supporting parents and caregivers is central to my work. Therapy works best when families can bring what they learn into daily life, and I collaborate with you to build skills, understanding, and connection.
I’m committed to ongoing learning and reflection, always seeking ways to better support the families I work with. My goal is for every child, teen, and caregiver to feel understood, supported, and empowered.
