Approach Description: Life isn’t always easy to balance — especially when you’re juggling parenting, school pressures, work expectations, and all the unpredictable turns life throws your way. If you're feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or just worn thin, you're not alone — and you don't have to navigate it alone either. With nearly a decade of frontline experience supporting children, families, and individuals with dual diagnoses, I’ve worked across schools, Supported Living settings, and private practice. These roles have allowed me to build a deep understanding of how mental health, learning, behavior, and relationships intersect — and more importantly, how to support meaningful, lasting change. I hold a Master’s degree in Psychotherapy and have received advanced training in Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT), Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (TF-CBT), and Collaborative Problem Solving. I believe no single approach fits everyone, so we'll collaborate to find a strategy that aligns with your values, needs, and comfort level — and adapt along the way if needed. Whether you’re a parent navigating challenges with your child, a teen feeling lost in the school system, or an adult dealing with stress, anxiety, or burnout — we’ll create a plan tailored to your goals. Together, we can build skills, improve balance, and create space for the things that matter most: connection, joy, and resilience. Let’s talk about what you need — and what’s possible.
