As a clinician I provide a number of services to support children, adults, families and couples

Couple Hugging

Couples Counselling

In couples counselling, we examine patterns of behaviour and communication styles while developing healthy ways to express complex and deep emotions in a safe, accepting and loving atmosphere

Children

& Youth

For children and youth, I use art and play interventions to facilitate self-regulation, improve self-esteem, and confidence. In addition, I use a trauma informed lens and use interventions that are gentle and non-invasive to explore hard feelings and topics.

  • Comprehensive emotional & psychological support. Specializing in the following areas:

    • ADHD, Autism, Developmental disorders & Learning Differences

    • Relationship Issues

    • Anxiety, Depression & Self Esteem
       

  • Play Therapy as a means to connect with child clients and provide a cathartic shift in feelings and behaviour.
     

  • Parenting support to promote long lasting change and develop a tool kit so that you are equipped to better manage challenging situations in the future.
     

  • School / home observation to better understand your child's needs and capabilities.
     

  • Special needs therapy which builds off my expertise and background in special education.

Family

Whole Family 

Sessions

With parents and whole families, I use a variety of modalities, and resources to support the changes parents are wishing to make in dealing with challenging situations and behaviours as well as brainstorm with the parents or the whole family in developing a plan and strategies to address difficult topics and improve family communication.

Individual

Growth

Discussing and working on healing for various types of abuse/neglect, early trauma/attachment issues, developmental issues, anxiety, self-harm, addiction challenges, depression, post-traumatic stress and work-related challenges.

  • Considering the family system and how it is functioning for each person involved.  Asking where your family has been that’s impacting them today and where they want to be tomorrow. 
     

  • Strengthening the (inner) child’s image of self.  Together we will reframe difficult experiences and dysfunctional narratives to see yourself as capable and competent. 
     

  • Collaborating to develop a toolkit to pull from when challenges come up in the future.
