Helping children and families grow through play, connection, and care.
As a child and youth counsellor, I specialize in supporting young people through the emotional and behavioural challenges that can arise at home, at school, or within friendships. My sessions are designed to be engaging, creative, and grounded in safety—because when children feel comfortable and connected, they’re more open to healing and growth.
I work from a trauma-informed, strengths-based lens and tailor every session to meet your child’s unique needs, interests, and personality. Whether it’s through play, art, sand tray work, mindfulness, or nature-based exploration, I help children express themselves, build emotional awareness, and develop confidence.
Is your child or teen…
Struggling to manage big emotions?
Worrying or having trouble sleeping
Showing changes in behaviour or mood?
Having a tough time at school or with friends?
Are you a parent who feels like you're doing everything you can but feel as though nothing is working?
You're not alone—and counselling can help. I work with caregivers, offering support, insight, and practical strategies tailored to the unique preferences and needs of their child.
About Me
I bring years of experience supporting children in school settings as both an Inclusion Teacher and a Social-Emotional Learning (SEL) educator. I’m currently completing my counselling registration and practicing as a pre-licensed counsellor under supervision. My session rate is $100 + GST per 50-minute session. (Please note that pre-licensed counselling is not eligible for Extended Health Benefits coverage.)
When I’m not in session, you’ll find me playing soccer, volleyball, or rugby, painting, exploring nature, or planning my next travel adventure. Movement, creativity, and connection are central to how I live—and how I work.
Let’s Connect
If you think your child could benefit from support, I’d love to help. Let’s work together to create a space where your child feels seen, heard, and supported.
