Play Therapy

Play is a child’s most natural language and can be a powerful way for children to express and process feelings that can be difficult to put into words. Through play, children can explore their experiences, build confidence, develop emotional regulation skills, practice healthy coping strategies, and learn new ways to navigate challenges.

I use play therapy to create a safe, supportive space where children can feel understood, build on their strengths, and grow at their own pace.

Parent Support

Parenting can be incredibly rewarding, while also bringing moments that feel challenging or overwhelming. I can support you in making sense of what you’re noticing with your child and navigating those tricky moments with greater confidence and understanding.

Parent support may include psychoeducation, practical strategies and recommendations, as well as exploring your parenting values and goals. Together, we’ll find approaches that feel realistic and aligned with your family.

Individual Counselling

I work with both youth and adults in individual counselling. Once we get to know one another, we’ll create a space where you can feel comfortable exploring the things that may be challenging or uncomfortable. Together, we can work through life’s changes – big and small, explore different perspectives, notice patterns that may no longer be serving you, and work toward the goals that are meaningful to you.

You’ll set the pace, and I’ll be there to support you along the way.
