Many people come to therapy feeling worried, overwhelmed, or unsure how to best support their child or teen who is facing challenges such as big emotions, peer dynamics, dysregulation, or just day to day challenges. It's hard to watch a child struggle and not know how to help — you don't have to figure it out alone. Before becoming a Psychotherapist, I worked as a Child and Youth Worker in schools and the community, supporting children, youth, and families with diverse emotional, behavioural, and developmental needs. That hands-on experience continues to shape my practical, grounded approach to therapy today. I work with children and teens to help make sense of emotional experiences, build regulation skills, and strengthen confidence in navigating school, peer relationships, and home life. I strive to create a calm, supportive, and non-judgmental space where young people can feel understood, accepted, and safe to be themselves. I believe therapy should be safe, comfortable and individualized. I use a strengths-based, evidence-informed approach that integrates cognitive behavioural strategies, acceptance-based and solution-focused interventions, as well as play-based and experiential techniques — both in person in South Etobicoke and virtually across Ontario. I place a strong emphasis on collaboration with caregivers and on helping children and teens build practical tools they can use in real-world settings. My goal is to support clients in feeling more capable, more confident, and better equipped to manage challenges with greater ease and self-trust.
