My Story and Approach
Guided by curiosity, compassion, and creativity, I believe true growth often blooms through authentic connection and hope. My work is grounded in the belief that every person is inherently valuable and uniquely shaped by their life experiences. They influence how we see ourselves and the world, and my goal is to help clients recognize their worthwhile fostering mental, emotional, physical, and spiritual well-being.
I have over 20 years of experience supporting children, adolescents, and adults in roles such as classroom teacher, school counsellor, and psychologist. I view the therapeutic relationship as the foundation of healing. Together, we create a safe, supportive space where you can explore thoughts and emotions, take risks, and share vulnerabilities.
My approach is grounded in trauma-informed, evidence-based practices, integrating EMDR, cognitive and narrative therapies, attachment-focused strategies, and play-based interventions. I also weave in somatic approaches that support mind-body connection, helping clients regulate the nervous system, restore balance, and build resilience through techniques such as mindful movement, breathwork, and grounding exercises.
I'm passionate about supporting children, youth, and parents navigating diverse needs or complex situations, as well as individuals experiencing anxiety, depression, trauma, emotional dysregulation, and interpersonal challenges. I provide comprehensive, strength-based psychoeducational assessments for children and youth, offering clear results and practical strategies for home and school.
Starting therapy can feel overwhelming. I understand that. We'll take it one step at a time and figure out together if this feels like the right fit for you. My commitment is to offer a gentle, supportive presence as we nurture resilience and hope, guiding you and your family toward healing and well-being.
