Does your child need help in regulating their behaviour or emotions? Does your teen seem depressed or anxious? Are you unsure which “parenting advice” to follow? Then know you are not alone and help is only a phone call away!
My goal is to help parents, youth, and children find answers and experience hope.
Entering into child, youth or needing help with parenting can be a scary experience. But congratulations! You have made the first step towards health and healing .
I am excited to take these first steps with you. Please call and let’s walk this path together.

As a mother of four adult daughters I understand the struggles parents and families can have in managing their children, understanding their youth, and navigating parenting styles.
I have worked with children, youth, and parents in a variety of capacities for over thirty years. I provide therapy and counselling services either with the parents and child together, or separately. The focus is on the needs of the individuals. The structure depends upon these needs and goals.
Some of the ways I help children is by using Play Therapy, Art Therapy and Sand Tray Therapy. I also incorporate Cognitive Behaviour Therapy, Mindfulness and use a Person Centered Approach.
My goal is to help people:
– restore hope
– increase communication
– develop emotional expression
– learn emotional regulation
Organizations I work with include:
First Nations Health Authority
Heritage Online Christian School
Self Design Learning
BC Center for Ability
Health Canada EAP
