I’m a child and family psychologist who believes every young person deserves a safe, compassionate space to navigate the ups and downs of growing up. With a trauma-informed lens, I look at each child’s unique neurotype to better understand how they experience the world.

​

My approach is grounded in Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help families clarify their shared and individual values, build willingness to navigate meaningful challenges, and develop a deeper sense of understanding. Whether it’s responding to anxiety and overwhelming worries, exploring identity and neurotype, or the everyday stress of being (or raising) a child. My approach blends evidence-based strategies with a warm and holistic style.

 

I adapt therapy to the way children naturally learn and engage—often through creative and visual-based strategies. This allows young people to express themselves comfortably, explore their emotions, and develop effective coping skills. You might see me break out a whiteboard, a box of markers, or maybe even a prop to spark conversation. Above all, I’ll meet you where you’re at with empathy, curiousity, and a willingness to tackle tough stuff together. 

A core principle in my work is recognising that all behaviours carry meaningful insights into a child and young person's inner world. Rather than judging these behaviours on the surface, I see them as signals of underlying needs and response to manage stressors. By helping young people understand and respond to these needs in helpful ways, they can develop a greater sense of control, self-awareness, and connection to the people and environments around them.
