My Approach

Life can sometimes seem confusing, and it can be hard to put thoughts and feelings into words. Speaking with someone outside our circle of family and friends can offer a fresh perspective and a safe space to explore what is troubling you. I provide a compassionate, thoughtful and non-judgmental space to explore feelings and emotional challenges. My integrative approach draws from a range of therapeutic models, allowing me to tailor the therapy to your needs. I work collaboratively so that we can begin to make sense of your experiences together, helping you gain clarity and discover ways to feel hopeful.


It can be difficult to ask for help—it takes courage and commitment. Therapy offers an opportunity to explore deeper emotions, develop new perspectives, and find ways to navigate life’s challenges. In a confidential and supportive space, we can begin to untangle feelings of stress, uncertainty, or tension, and you can start to feel hopeful and see a path forward.

I value each person’s individuality and welcome all forms of difference and diversity. Your experiences matter, and I am here to support you on your journey.

Children and Young People
Using play and creativity as well as talking, I follow the child or young person’s interests, which helps me connect with them wherever they are developmentally. I work in an attachment-focused and relational way, meaning that the therapeutic relationship enables me to understand the child’s or young person’s relationships with others and how they have learned to adapt to the world. In addition to committing to work on what the child or young person is struggling with, I believe it is important to celebrate and build on what is going well.

Parents
Parenting can be joyous and complex simultaneously. Using a Reflective Parenting framework, I offer parents or caregivers the opportunity to think about their relationship with their child and explore areas of tension, conflict, and loss of connection. We reflect on what your child’s behaviour may be communicating and consider how your own experience of being parented influences your parenting approaches today.
