Child and Youth Therapy

A supportive space for children, teens, and parents to feel understood, accepted, and supported.

I offer child and youth therapy in Sault Ste. Marie, Ontario. I support children and teens navigating anxiety, emotional regulation challenges, behavioural concerns, social difficulties, low self-esteem, and neurodivergent needs, including ADHD and Autism.

Children often communicate through behaviour when emotions feel too big or confusing to put into words.

Using a play-based, emotion-focused, and trauma-informed approach, I help children and teens build emotional awareness, regulation skills, confidence, and a stronger sense of safety in themselves and their relationships.

Sessions are tailored to your child’s developmental needs, using play, creativity, and connection to support growth and healing.

I work alongside parents to better understand their child’s emotional world and respond with confidence and connection.

Together, we focus on:

• Understanding behaviour through a nervous system lens

• Strengthening connection and attachment

• Building practical, supportive strategies for home

• Reducing reactivity and increasing confidence in parenting

Parent support can be offered independently or alongside your child’s therapy.
