Welcome! My practice focuses on working with children, parents and caregivers using play therapy grounded in relationship and connection.

Maybe you’ve noticed:

Big emotions that feel overwhelming (tantrums, meltdowns, shutdowns)
Anxiety, sensitivity, or difficulty separating
Struggles with listening, behaviour, or boundaries
Your child seeming “stuck,” frustrated, or misunderstood

You’ve likely tried your best—and it still feels hard.

You’re not alone.

About Me

As a parent and step-parent to three children in a blended family, I recognize some of the challenges that occur in our daily lives. When it comes to parenting, figuring out how to be there for our kids while also navigating various demands and curveballs that get thrown our way, it can feel like too much all at once. Parenting can stir up so much in us. As we try to care for our children with patience, love, and intention, we are often also meeting parts of our own story along the way.

It’s not always easy to seek help, especially when it comes to parenting and our kids. However, I believe families already hold many of the strengths needed for growth and healing. My role is to help bring those strengths forward and create a compassionate space where new patterns of connection can grow.

Outside of work, you will find me running outdoors, listening to music (Backstreet Boys fan, here!), baking cookies or reading a cozy novel. I’ve also enjoy large jigsaw puzzles and building LEGO!
