Welcome

As a registered psychotherapist who is a also creative arts therapist and  certified play therapist with the Canadian Association for Play Therapy.  My goal is to help your child/youth feel heard and seen, and develop insight and coping skills to uncover a path towards growth and well-being.   This involves the parents input as well.   Self expression through a variety of forms will help identify feelings, identify stuck thought patterns, and discover your inner strengths and resources.   While I can not change difficult situations, together we can work together to better understand and cope through the challenges in life.  By applying integrative therapy approaches and techniques there is work on understanding long-standing behaviour patterns, possible long term trauma reactions, or negative perceptions that may have created obstacles in life and relationships.  

With therapy you are given support you to find meaning, gain insight into thoughts, feelings, and challenges along with identifying strengths.

If you're looking for a strength-based, collaborative emotional support and guidance through challenging situations, life stressors, and/or relationships, or you are just ready to move in a emotionally healthy new direction in life, I look forward to working with you and/or your child/youth.
