With nearly 30 years of experience supporting children in schools and the community, I have seen firsthand how life’s challenges can affect young hearts and minds.
My journey began as a classroom teacher, where I witnessed the academic, social, and emotional pressures children face every day. Watching students struggle with anxiety, big feelings, or difficulty navigating school inspired me to become a counsellor. I wanted to offer deeper, more meaningful support to help children thrive.
Today, I am a Registered Clinical Counsellor and school counsellor who works closely with children and their families to create a foundation of safety, understanding, and emotional growth. I support children in building confidence, managing anxiety, developing coping skills, and navigating life’s transitions. Every child I works with receives personalized guidance that honors their unique strengths, temperament, and needs.
My approach is child-centred, connection-focused, and informed by attachment theory, family systems, and mindfulness practices. I creates a warm, safe environment where children feel heard and supported. For parents, I offer guidance, insight, and tools to help children flourish at home and at school. I see parents as partners in the therapeutic process, collaborating closely to ensure progress is meaningful and lasting.
My Commitment
Every child deserves to feel safe, confident, and supported. I am committed to helping children and families take that important step forward—creating stronger emotional skills, resilience, and a sense of stability that lasts.
Areas of Support
I specialize in helping children with anxiety, stress, ADHD, neurodiversity, emotional regulation, trauma and grief, family conflict, life transitions, school challenges, and school refusal. I tailor my support to each child’s unique needs, helping them feel safe, understood, and empowered to build confidence and resilience both at home and at school.
Therapeutic Approaches
I use evidence-based approaches designed to meet children where they are, including Play Based Approaches, Attachment-Based Therapy, Sandplay, Trauma-Informed Practices, Somatic Regulation, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Grief Counselling, and Strength-Based Strategies. These methods engage children naturally while helping them develop the emotional and coping skills they need to thrive.
Supporting Families
I also partner closely with parents to provide guidance, reassurance, and strategies for supporting their child’s growth. Offering a steady, compassionate presence, I help families feel informed and empowered. Every child deserves to feel safe, confident, and supported, and I am committed to helping children and families take that important step forward together.
