Throughout my years in education, I have worked with students on a range of presenting concerns, from anxiety, stress, ADHD, grief, loss, separation/divorce, self-esteem, gender identity, friendship concerns, academic and social difficulties. I feel blessed to have had the time in schools since it has made me very familiar with the needs of school-aged children and youth in many facets. In addition, I have worked very closely in developing individual program placements for school-aged children and youth who have had a DSM-V diagnosis and am comfortable supporting families with strategies and interventions to meet the academic, personal, and social goals outlined by a school. I have worked closely with individuals who have had a neurodivergent diagnosis and have many years experience, both in teaching and counselling, in supporting those from many different backgrounds. I am inclusive and sensitive to the needs of each individual I am working with. At all times, my counselling is rooted in empathy and I use strategies from a variety of therapeutic approaches. My goal is to match the interventions to the presenting concerns and ensure each individual is an active participant in the counselling process.
