A supportive space for children and teens to feel safe, understood, and accepted.
I offer therapy for children and youth in Sault Ste. Marie, Ontario, with virtual therapy available across Ontario. I support young people navigating anxiety, big emotions, behavioural challenges, and neurodivergent needs.
How I Support Children & Teens
Children often express what they’re feeling through behaviour especially when emotions feel too big or confusing to put into words.
Through a play-based, emotion-focused, and trauma-informed approach, I help children:
Understand and express their emotions safely
Build emotional regulation skills
Strengthen confidence and self-esteem
Feel more secure in themselves and their relationships
Sessions are adapted to your child’s developmental needs, using play, creativity, and connection to support growth.
Common Areas of Support
Anxiety and worry
Emotional outbursts or shutdown
Difficulty with transitions
Low self-esteem
Social challenges
Neurodivergence (ADHD, Autism)
How I Support Parents
I work alongside parents to better understand their child’s emotional world and build tools that feel realistic and supportive at home.
Together, we focus on:
Understanding your child’s behaviour through a nervous system lens
Responding with confidence instead of reactivity
Strengthening connection and attachment
Creating practical strategies for daily challenges
Parent support can be offered on its own or alongside your child’s therapy.
