Biographical Info I have been working with children (my favourite people!) and their families for over 20 years, including children with learning differences, autism, anxiety and ADHD. Whether children and youth identify as typical or neurodiverse, I utilize empowerment approaches, with the goal of rediscovering their strengths, facing their fears, and experiencing more joy in their lives - ideally in collaboration with their trusted adults. Areas of focus include anxiety, self-esteem, self-identity, sadness, grief and loss, and life changes. My approaches include sandtray work, puppet play, art mediums, story-telling, neuroscience-based education, and generally creative approaches to challenging problems. I have training in play therapy, narrative therapy, and cognitive behaviour therapies. I have a bachelor's degree in Social Work from UBC and a master's degree in Social Work at UVIC. I am a registered with the BC College of Social Workers, and am a member of the BC Play Therapy Association. You can reach me at: [email protected].

“The activities that are the easiest, cheapest, and most fun to do – such as singing, playing games, reading, storytelling, and just talking and listening – are also the best for child development.”
– Jerome Singer (professor, Yale University)
