Empowering people of all ages to express their experiences in a safe and caring space will bring new insights and the freedom to move forward with new goals and challenges. We will walk together to discover coping strategies, healing and growth. My work has focused on therapy with children and youth of all ages, including those living in care settings. Some roles I have specialized in are as a school counsellor (7 years), school teacher (5 years), autism behavioral therapist for preschoolers, foster parent, and a community child and youth care worker providing individual and group counselling for kids, teens, parents, and families. Building confidence by emphasizing strengths and developing personalized action plans leads to growth at school, home, work, and in the community. Using an integrative approach, I offer the option to choose from use of mixed arts media, play therapy, music, drama therapy, narrative therapy, trauma-focused CBT, and solution-focused brief therapy, to explore healing and new directions. I will also be offering psychoeducational assessments. I am gentle, patient, and navigate with care, concerns with school-age and post-secondary learning challenges, ADHD, autism, social skill development, interpersonal conflict, self-esteem, healing from trauma, gender dysphoria, anxiety, grieving and loss, perfectionism, depression and suicidal ideation.
