Individual Counselling for Children, Teens and Young Adults
My passion and population niche is working with those ages 4-24 years old for a variety of needs. At this time I am only able to provide virtual therapy services.
As an alternative to support clients who may not yet be suitable for virtual counselling, I will be providing parent/caregiver support sessions.
These sessions are booked with an intake appointment at 60 minutes, and ongoing sessions at 50 minutes. Frequency of sessions will be determined during the intake session.
Areas of clinical experience include, but are not limited to:
ADHD
Autism
Anxiety
Grief and loss
Emotion regulation
Social and peer relationships
Self-esteem
Stress management
School and future planning
Gender identity and sexuality
Sports Performance
If you are unsure how my services can best support you, please reach out to book a free 15 min phone or video consultation session.
Parent/Caregiver Counselling Sessions
When the child is too young or if therapy is not appropriate at this time, I can provide parent/caregiver support sessions.
Being a caregiver in today’s world is very different than many years ago, and children don’t come with a manual! Therefore I want to help navigate this parenting world with you.
If you have a child with a recent diagnosis and need support on how to navigate and understand your child’s needs or you’re looking for insight on how to help support their big emotions or strengthen your communication skills, these sessions are appropriate for you.
These sessions can be booked as an intake appointment at 60 minutes or as ongoing sessions at 50 minutes, if your child is a current client.

Treatment Approach
One of my philosophies about therapy is every client is different and they all have different needs. Therefore, I work from an integrative approach, meaning I work from a foundational treatment modality, and pull from other models of therapy that will best fit the needs of my client.
Formally, I work from the treatment modalities of Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavioural Therapy (DBT Informed Approach), Solution Focused Therapy, and Person Centred Therapy.
Part of how I approach therapy is empowering my clients to better understand themselves, and why their brain or bodies react or respond the way they do. The mind and body are connected, and although focusing on the problem area is important, working from a holistic approach and looking at the bigger picture is most helpful to create change.
When working with children and teens, I incorporate play with games, interactive activities, and art into my sessions to allow them to explore, communicate and express themselves.
“Therapy is a form of expression, like art. You find a space that you feel safe in to open up, and let others understand you.”
