Child Therapy

Children often communicate what they're going through with their behaviour, emotions, or play rather than words. Child therapy, or play therapy, provides a safe, supportive space where children can express themselves, make sense of their experiences, and build skills for navigating big feelings and everyday challenges.
Through play, creativity, conversation, and connection, I work alongside children in a way that feels natural and comfortable for them. Sessions are tailored to each child’s age, personality, strengths, and needs, with the goal of helping them feel understood, supported, and more confident in themselves.
Through play and connection children can learn emotional regulation, develop an emotional vocabulary, foster interoception, and work through problems or big feelings at their own pace, in a way that feels right for them.
The therapeutic play space is a good fit for any children who are struggling with confidence or anxiety, school or transition issues, big feelings and regulation, big changes at home or in life, and/or challenging behaviours. Child therapy can be especially helpful for neurodivergent children as they navigate a world that doesn’t always feel designed with them in mind.
Parents and caregivers are an important part of the process too. When helpful, sessions may include parent support and opportunities to talk about what you’re noticing at home and how you can best support your child between sessions.

Please Note: I do not provide counselling services when there are active litigation, custody or parenting disputes, or other family law proceedings. My role is therapeutic, rather than forensic, and I do not provide custody assessments, parenting recommendations for court, expert opinions, or documentation intended to support one party’s legal position.
