INDIVIDUAL ADULT COUNSELLING
I offer individual client-centred counselling for adults and youth using a variety of approaches including Person-Centred Therapy, Internal Family Systems Therapy, and Mindfulness/Somatic approaches. My work is collaborative, neurodiversity-affirming, and individualized to each client; we will discover together which approach(es) you find most helpful.
Depending on what brings you to therapy, we may focus on helping you:
-
Process difficult emotions such as anger, sadness, fear, or anxiety without being overwhelmed by them, so you become more resilient and can choose how to respond, rather than react, to situations.
-
Develop self-awareness and self-advocacy so your needs are better met in relationships and community.
-
Become more aware of your strengths and values and how to use them to foster personal growth.

CHILD COUNSELLING
I offer counselling for children using a variety of approaches including Child-Centred and Synergetic Play Therapy, Internal Family Systems Therapy, and Mindfulness/Somatic approaches, sometimes incorporating art and sandtray work. My approach to working with children and parents is neurodiversity-affirming and non-blaming, one in which I extend compassion and curiosity to each member of the family as we work to resolve the concerns that brought the family to therapy. Depending on the age of the child and presenting concerns, our work together may include a combination of individual child sessions, parent sessions, and/or joint parent-child sessions.

PARENT CONSULTATION AND SUPPORT
I work with your family and school team to support your child's awareness, regulation, and communication, while respecting the uniqueness of different relationships and environments. This may include advocating for your family in meetings with school teams and medical professionals so your child's needs are heard and addressed.
