Is your child struggling with emotional or behavioural challenges? Are you looking for a way to help them build confidence, navigate tough emotions, and develop lasting coping skills? I specialize in creating a safe, supportive space where children can express themselves, overcome obstacles, and grow stronger every day. I incorporate play therapy, behavioral strategies, and a child-centered approach to explore emotions and create lasting coping skills. Together, we will boost their self-esteem, improving communication, and building resilience that lasts a lifetime.

And if you are a couple feeling disconnected or facing relationship challenges, I am here to help. Whether it’s resolving conflicts, rebuilding trust, or strengthening your emotional bond, I offer a safe and nurturing environment for couples to reconnect and rediscover the love that brought them together. Using powerful methods like the Gottman Method and Emotionally Focused Therapy, I will guide you toward healthier communication, deeper understanding, and a more fulfilling relationship.

For over 10 years, I have been deeply committed to supporting youth and adults navigating the toughest challenges of mental health crises, addiction, and trauma. As a Social Worker, I have gained a profound understanding of the systemic obstacles that can weigh on mental well-being. My experience working with youth and adults in the criminal justice system fueled my passion even further to help children and young people build unwavering self-esteem, improve communication, and cultivate resilience in the face of adversity.

Every experience I have had—every person I have worked with—has reinforced my commitment to guiding clients toward healing. My unique blend of experience and education has shaped the foundation of my approach: empowering individuals to recognize their strengths, build resilience, and set transformative goals for lasting recovery. I am here to walk alongside you, helping you rise above challenges and unlock the potential for healing and growth.

As a Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying), my areas of focus include: Children | Teens | Relationships | Couples | Therapy Modalities

If you’re ready to get started, I always offer a 15-min consult to see if we are a good fit. I’d love to help you, a friend or a member of your family get the help they need to live better.
