Just like adults, children and youth sometimes go through experiences that bring them or their caregivers to counselling. But for kids, traditional talk therapy isn’t always the best fit. Children need a developmentally appropriate way to explore their feelings and experiences. That’s why I work with kids (3+) using a play-based, child-led approach that allows them to express themselves in ways that feel natural and safe. I also connect regularly with parents and caregivers, so you feel supported and included in your child’s journey.

I have completed Level 1 of Synergetic Play Therapy (SPT) training and am currently working toward certification as a Certified Synergetic Play Therapist. SPT is a research-informed model of play therapy that integrates nervous system regulation, interpersonal neurobiology, physics, attachment theory, mindfulness, and therapist authenticity, all within the natural process of play! I have completed SPACE (Supportive Parenting for Anxious Childhood Emotions) training.
