Young children often have difficulty expressing their thoughts and feelings using language. Difficulties can result in disruptive behaviors. I can guide you in understanding your child's behavior, build a stronger relationship, and to raise happy, successful children.
Adolescence is a critical link between childhood and adulthood, characterized by significant physical, psychological, and social transitions. These transitions carry new risks but also present opportunities to positively influence the immediate and future health of young people
Although becoming a parent is rewarding, it is also challenging.
I provide the necessary knowledge, tools, guidance, and most especially support to parents without bias or judgment. This way, they become better equipped to support their children.
I AM ORIGINALLY FROM AUSTRALIA AND HAVE HAD THE GOOD FORTUNE TO VISIT MANY COUNTRIES AND EXPERIENCE MANY CULTURES.
MY EMPATHY, HUMOR, AND CULTURALLY SENSITIVE APPROACH PROVIDE A WARM ATMOSPHERE WHERE CHILDREN, ADOLESCENTS, AND ADULTS CAN FEEL WELCOME AND ACCEPTED.
I BELIEVE IN THE IMPORTANCE OF STRONG COMMUNITIES AND CURRENTLY VOLUNTEER WITHIN MANY COMMUNITY BASED ORGANISATIONS, SUCH AS GIRL GUIDES OF CANADA AND MY CHILDRENS’ SCHOOL.
I AM A PROUD PARENT OF A CHILD ON THE AUTISM SPECTRUM AND BELIEVE THAT EVERY CHILD CAN GROW UP TO LEAD A HAPPY AND PRODUCTIVE LIFE GIVEN THE RIGHT OPPORTUNITIES AND SUPPORT.
Most children experience some difficulties in their childhood, such as divorce of their parents, trouble making friends, or adjusting to changes at school or home.
Some children just need more help than others to get through these times.
Throughout Play Therapy, the child or adolescent is empowered and supported to learn more about who they are,
to talk about things that are frightening or painful, to be self-supportive and to experiment with new behaviours.
Play Therapy helps the child feel accepted, understood and to gain a sense of control over or understanding of difficult situations.
As soon as a child enters the family unit, it's natural for the relationship of the parents to take a step back as you fumble your way through this new stage in your life.
Sometimes you may need a little help to bring the focus back to strengthening that core relationship. Your children watch and learn by example, so showing them a strong, cohesive and loving relationship helps them aspire to achieve the same enjoyable life that their parents have.
I focus on offering support and guidance to parents to build their attachment with their children, and to support them in the important role of parenting. I believe that it is important that the caregivers are a part of the therapeutic process from beginning to end.
