When I think about the work that I get to do and why it is important, I reflect on the importance of childhood. The learning and growth that occurs during this time is profound and getting to know yourself and beginning to understand the world is not an easy task. Worries and fears can develop and experiences of loss or harm can make it really hard to feel safe. Providing support during this time creates an opportunity to work through some of these challenges before the belief in magic fades and the realities of the world set in.

I work from an attachment-based perspective. This means that I first consider relationships and how to support authentic joyful connections between kids and their caregivers. I often share with families that therapy is not forever, we want to build towards a place where a kid feels that their true self is accepted, and their caregivers are confident in their ability to compassionately guide their child through their moments of challenge. This work can take many different forms as everyone needs something a little bit different. I bring a unique perspective to each person that I support, and work alongside them to approach therapy in the way that is best for them. With children, this is often done through play. Play is the language of children and when provided an environment and connection characterized by safety, they express their perceptions of their experiences.

 If my approach feels like it may fit for your child and family please reach out to me here. I recognize that it is not always easy for caregiver to ask for some help. I would offer that it is ok not to have all the answers and that it takes a village to raise a child, I would be honoured to be part of that village.
