Are you looking for therapy for yourself, your family, your child or teen? Would it be helpful to have someone to touch base with in a private, safe space? Is your child or teen struggling to manage overwhelming emotions, or are you dealing with outbursts of aggression or anger at home? My experience includes supporting individuals who have experienced trauma(s), attachment difficulties, ODD, ADHD, ASD, anxiety, depression, ABI/TBI, self-harm and difficulties with emotional regulation.
I am a registered social worker, secondary school teacher, and am in the process of completing a specialization in play therapy. I bring to my work an understanding of disability, neurodiversity, anxiety, ADHD, ODD and trauma that clients tell me is different from other experiences they have had. I also offer canine-assisted therapy (limited clients only).
I believe that we all thrive when we feel supported, valued and welcomed. I am not interested in 'fixing' anyone, as we all have things we do well, and things we'd rather change about ourselves. I am here to support you, your child or family, and can offer resources, strategies and a supportive environment to facilitate positive growth and change.
