I am a registered counsellor and play therapist with a background in early childhood education. My passion lies in supporting families to create safe, nurturing environments where children can thrive. The Circle of Security Parenting program is a valuable addition to my private practice, enabling me to guide parents in their own growth and involvement in the play therapy process alongside their children.

I have eighteen years of experience working with children and families in a variety of settings. The breadth of my experience includes working with immigrant families, domestic violence victims, children and families involved with the child welfare system or who have experienced significant trauma, and critical life transitions or losses. My passion is helping parents, caregivers, and other professionals understand the meaning of a child’s behavior and help them respond in effective, growth-promoting, attuned, and sensitive ways. Currently, I’m a clinical supervisor, child and family psychotherapist, early childhood mental health consultant, and trainer. I offer the Circle of Security one-on-one and in groups.
