How I can help

Therapy is tailored to your child’s needs and goals. Sessions are collaborative and practical.

Individual Support for Children and Youth

My practice focuses on supporting your child through the pressures of life, school and home. We work together to tackle feelings that overwhelm.

I support young people and families as they navigate a variety of feelings and moments including:

Anxiety: social anxiety, separation anxiety, panic, obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD) and specific fears/phobias
Mood and Regulation: sadness/irritability/low mood, overthinking, depression, self harm
Life Hurdles: school stress, body image, self-esteem/confidence, friendships, conflict, motivation, grief
Family Dynamics: parenting, transitions/change

My approach

I use a variety of evidence-based approaches that are strength-based, trauma-informed, gender affirming and client centred. I continue to actively seek out the most up-to-date techniques and frameworks.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT)
Exposure Response Prevention (ERP)
Dialectical Behavioural Therapy (DBT)
Acceptance Commitment Therapy (ACT)
Solution Focussed Therapy
Motivational Therapy

I am also a certified children’s yoga teacher. This provides a further technique in helping children and youth connect to their mental well-being through movement, body awareness and mindfulness.

Parent-Only Intake Session (under 12 years) 60-minutes session $180

For children under the age of 12, therapy begins with a parent only session before booking a session with your child. This session will help to establish goals, gather background history, collaborate on the therapeutic process and answer questions. In cases where parents are no longer together, consent is required from both parents for children under 12 to participate in counselling.

Youth Intake Session (12 + years) 50-minutes session $160

For clients over 12 years of age we begin with a 50 min intake session to build rapport, establish goals and gather background and current information. While it’s not required, parents/caregivers are welcome to attend the intake session. Parents with children over the age of 12 are welcome to book a separate intake session. A parent’s perspective can be very valuable in identifying goals and needs. Have a conversation with your teen to determine what feels best.

Follow up/Ongoing sessions (child/youth/parent) 50-minutes session $160

Ongoing sessions to continue to support your child on their journey.
