challenges, providing a personalized foundation for effective treatment, strategies, and

support. I take pride in delivering thorough, accurate, and holistic assessments tailored to

each individual’s needs.

In addition to my assessment services, I offer play-based therapy for children aged

approximately 2 to 12. Children often struggle to understand and verbalize their emotions,

making play the primary mode of communication. Play-based therapy fosters emotional

wellness, enhances personal strengths, improves relationships, facilitates communication,

and helps children process difficult events to gain a sense of control. It is an effective

approach for addressing a wide range of childhood challenges, including trauma, anxiety,

ADHD, bullying, social skills, OCD, attachment and adjustment issues, aggression, depression,

low self-esteem, and perfectionism.

I’ve always been passionate about supporting children and have worked with them in various

capacities for over 20 years. My experience has allowed me to develop a natural affinity with

them, and the ability to connect with kids on a deeper level. I love discovering each child’s

unique personality and skills and finding creative ways to adapt to their interests and

communication styles. Watching children grow, find their voice, and overcome challenges is

one of the greatest joys of my work. My goal is to create a safe and supportive space where

they can express themselves, build confidence, and thrive. Every child brings something

special, and I feel privileged to help them on their journey. My therapeutic approach is

grounded in strength-based, solution-focused, and cognitive-behavioral principles, but my

priority is always making sure that every interaction feels meaningful, supportive, and

tailored to each child’s needs.​

​

Beyond my work with children, I also offer support for teenagers and adults facing anxiety,

depression, parenting challenges, and life transitions. My services can be covered by the

Non-Insured Health Benefits (NIHB) program, which provides coverage to eligible First Nations

and Inuit clients. I adopt a holistic approach, considering the multiple factors influencing

behaviors or symptoms, and strive to provide interventions that address the whole person.

My goal is to empower clients of all ages to overcome obstacles, face challenges and achieve

emotional well-being so that you may flourish.
