Therapy that guides your child or teen in a new direction
Welcome
Do you want your child or teen to feel happier, calmer or be more co-operative at home? Do you feel that they are faced with big feelings of worry, sadness, stress or anger and you’ve done everything you know to help them? Then reaching out for help is a great next step. Therapy can provide children and their families with the insight and tools needed to navigate strong emotions, relationships and problems more effectively.
I provide support to children, teens and families in Burlington, Ontario and online for people living in Ontario. I offer a safe, non-judgemental and supportive environment to help you open up about problems and then together we’ll find solutions. I offer an eclectic therapeutic approach, personalizing sessions to your child or teen’s individual strengths and needs. Through evidenced-based therapy techniques, empathetic listening and gentle guidance I aim to help your child or teen to gain insight, develop positive coping strategies and build resilience.
Finding a therapist for your child can be nerve-wracking; you’re putting your trust in someone to guide your child in the right direction. I understand that and provide free consultations to answer questions and ease any concerns people may have. Please feel free to contact me to schedule that consultation now and we can get started on your journey towards peacefulness.
