Therapeutic Interventions

Play therapy is a powerful therapeutic approach that gives children a developmentally appropriate way to explore difficult experiences, build emotional awareness, and develop coping strategies all through the natural language of play.

Children thrive in environments where they feel secure. My playroom is intentionally designed as a calm, consistent space where children can regulate, take emotional risks, and feel safe enough to process what’s hard at their own pace.

Children often can’t explain how they feel with words but they can show it through play. I use therapeutic toys, storytelling, art, and imaginative play to help children express what’s happening internally, especially when they are overwhelmed, anxious, or confused.

While the playroom is the child’s protected space, I involve parents meaningfully throughout the process. Regular check-ins ensure you’re supported with practical tools to contain anxiety, respond therapeutically at home, and reinforce emotional safety.

Play therapy is effective for toddlers navigating big transitions, young children facing emotional challenges, and even older children who may struggle to put feelings into words. Sessions are always adjusted to match your child’s developmental level.

There is no one-size-fits-all. I draw on attachment theory, developmental neuropsychology, and trauma-informed play techniques to match your child’s unique needs and emotional world whether they’re withdrawn, explosive, clingy, or uncertain.

Whether your child is grappling with anxiety, grief, sibling changes, school stress, or emotional regulation challenges, play therapy offers a gentle but structured path toward confidence, flexibility, and self-understanding.

Through play, children learn how to name their feelings, problem-solve, and tolerate uncomfortable emotions foundational skills for resilience, healthy relationships, and long-term emotional wellbeing.

Individual therapy offers a safe, confidential setting for tweens and teens to share what’s on their mind without pressure or judgment. Whether they’re navigating school stress, social anxiety, identity confusion, or emotional overwhelm, I create space for their voice to be valued and explored.

Therapy isn’t just about solving problems. It’s about helping young people understand who they are, how they feel, and how they relate to others. Sessions focus on emotional literacy, self-discovery, and building confidence through insight and connection.

Individuals are often expected to “cope” but rarely taught how. I support clients in identifying patterns, learning emotion regulation strategies, and applying real-world tools to manage anxiety, low mood, and interpersonal challenges.

Therapy can help you, your child or teen make sense of their internal world, one feeling, thought, or situation at a time, while learning how to manage relationships, expectations, and growing independence.

Parenting can feel overwhelming, especially when your child is struggling emotionally, behaviourally, or developmentally. These sessions offer a space to reflect, reset, and gain clarity around what’s going on — and what to do next.

I offer evidence-based strategies tailored to your family’s unique needs whether you’re facing separation anxiety, bedtime battles, emotional outbursts, or school-related stress. We focus on what’s manageable and meaningful for your home.

At the core of my work is helping you reconnect with your child, build trust, and create emotional safety. When children feel understood and contained, growth and regulation follow.

Parent sessions are not just about “fixing” a behaviour. They’re about understanding the bigger picture, feeling empowered in your parenting role, and having a sounding board as things shift and change.
