I have had the pleasure of working alongside children and families in various roles as both a Registered Social Worker (RSW) and a Registered Early Childhood Educator (RECE). I support children with exceptionalities and mental health concerns while honouring their unique identities.

I have worked with children from infancy to 12 years of age in home, school, and childcare settings. This has allowed me the opportunity to have a holistic understanding of supporting children and their families with a deepened understanding of children’s well-being and development. My experiences have included early intervention in developmental services and working with an Early Years team at a lead community mental health agency. My approach is integrative of attachment-based therapies such as Circle of Security parenting and Emotion Focused Family Therapy. I have training and experience with Infant and Early Childhood Mental Health. 

I believe you know your story best, which is why I prioritize compassionate and family-centred care in my practice. My goal is to listen and provide a judgment-free space for children and families to achieve the goals they hope for. You may have a lot of feelings or questions as you navigate support for you and your child, please reach out to start the conversation.

The starting point for changing a child’s trajectory begins with our perception of that child
