I strive to create a welcoming and supportive space where children and families feel truly seen, heard, and cared for. I believe that meaningful change happens through genuine relationships, and I am committed to providing thoughtful, personalized care that reflects the unique needs, strengths, and experiences of each child and family I work with.

As a solo practitioner, I value the opportunity to offer a more personal touch—taking the time to build strong connections, understand each family’s story, and provide care that feels collaborative, compassionate, and tailored to their goals.

I provide psychotherapy services for children as young as 3 years old and their families in Barrhaven and across the Ottawa area. My office is conveniently located in Barrhaven West, near the highway 416 Fallowfield exist.

I help children navigate big emotions, build healthy relationships, adjust to life changes, and develop the skills they need to thrive. Whether your child is struggling with worries, sadness, behavioural challenges, or self-confidence, I offer a supportive and compassionate space where they can feel understood and supported.

Common concerns that I can help with include:

• Social skills and peer relationships
• Family and sibling relationships
• Neurodiversity including learning and developmental delays, giftedness, ADHD, autism/ASD, PANS/Pandas, Persistent Drive for Autonomy (PDA)
• Anger, aggression, and emotional outbursts
• Anxiety and excessive worry
• Depression and low mood
• Stress and life transitions
• Self-esteem and self-confidence
• Trauma and difficult experiences
• Attachment concerns and caregiver-child relationships

Drawing from a variety of evidence-based psychotherapy approaches, we will work together to find a therapeutic modality that is tailored to your individual needs, goals, and preferences. Sessions are available both in person and virtually to best support your family’s needs.

I am a Registered Psychotherapist with over 15 years of clinical experience helping children and families create meaningful, lasting positive change. I provide a safe, supportive, and non-judgmental environment where children, youth, and families can explore challenges, develop new skills, and strengthen their emotional well-being, relationships, and resilience.

My approach is warm, child- and family-centered, and grounded in genuine curiosity and care. I work collaboratively with children, parents, and families to understand their unique strengths, challenges, and goals. By building strong therapeutic relationships and tailoring treatment to each client’s individual needs and preferences, I aim to create an engaging and effective therapy experience that supports meaningful growth and lasting change.

Research consistently shows that the therapeutic relationship is one of the strongest predictors of successful outcomes in therapy. Finding a therapist who feels like the right fit is an important part of the process, and I strive to create a space where clients feel comfortable, understood, and valued.

I offer a free, confidential 20-minute consultation by phone or video to help us determine whether my services are the right fit for you and your family. During this meeting, we’ll discuss your concerns, explore your goals for therapy, and review how psychotherapy may be able to help. There is no obligation to continue with services afterward. This consultation is simply an opportunity to ask questions, learn more about my approach, and ensure that you feel comfortable and confident moving forward.
