I'm here to listen
I am a Certified Nurse Psychotherapist who specializes in Child and Adolescent Mental Health. I have been a mental health nurse for 22 years and have a passion for working with young people and their families and in promoting mental health. I have training in Dialectic Behaviour Therapy, Cognitive Behaviour Therapy and knowledge of Motivational Interviewing and Trauma Informed Care.
My focus is to encourage my clients to become aware of their inner strengths. We achieve this by providing a neutral safe space, listening to your concerns, and customizing a treatment plan.
I promise to be there for you every step of your journey. My goal is to work with you in collaboration to identify goals,
Not sure if I'm the right fit for your child? Maybe this is your first time reaching out for help so you're note even sure where to start? My free 15 minute consultation phone call will help with planning your child's mental health journey.
Sometimes what seems like a fit or you, may not feel like a fit for your child/youth. Planning a virtual meet & greet with me and your child/youth gives them the opportunity to meet with me, ask any questions and begin to feel more comfortable with me and the counselling process. This step is also helpful in building trust, rapport and helping your child/youth feel that they are part of the treatment team, not just the recipient.
During the initial assessment, I will spend time getting to know your child/youth. This gives us an opportunity to learn about your child's strengths, development, and current concerns. Any additional information such as psychoeducational testing, doctor's reports or previous treatment plans are always helpful to have on hand too!
Any journey always starts with a plan. After our initial meeting, I will take the information gathered and come up with a suggested treatment map that your child and I will work on together. We will collaborate on the most important goals to work on together and
The tools we learn in our sessions will go home with you and your child/youth in the form of handouts, activities and weekly challenges that test out what we learn together. We use a variety of tools including workbooks, videos, apps and even some art. It's important to me to meet your child where they're at in their development and employ age appropriate tools.
