Some of my areas of focus include:
- LGBTQ2S+, sexuality, and gender identity
- Anxiety
- Depression
- Sports and performance psychotherapy
- ADHD and autism – AKA neurodivergence
- Low self-esteem
- Behaviour difficulties
- Parent-child conflict
- Parenting counselling
The first step is always the hardest, but it’s one we can take together. I offer a warm, relaxed, non-judgemental approach to healing, no matter what your starting point is.
I am based in Guelph and offer in-person counselling. I am a Registered Social Worker, Psychotherapist with over a decade of experience providing mental health counselling to children, teens, and young adults. I identify as Queer, and often work with LGBTQ+ clients. In addition to my work at Spacious Mind Counselling, I also provide therapy and counselling to children and adolescents experiencing acute mental health crises at Grand River Hospital in Kitchener in their CAIP unit. My in-depth experience means I’m able to guide my clients confidently through the most challenging of issues.
I joined Spacious Mind Counselling with a goal of helping families and youth get ahead of problems or mitigate them before they spiral into crises.
Youth and young adults may benefit from any of a variety of modalities, including cognitive behavioural therapy, collaborative and proactive solutions, brief-solution-focused therapy, dialectical behavior therapy skills, mindfulness, and crisis planning.
I can assess whether there is a larger mental health difficulty contributing to a youth’s struggles. That is important if the youth may be struggling with undiagnosed conditions such as ADHD, autism, OCD, or serious mental health issues. I believe it’s important to coordinate my efforts as a therapist with families’ efforts, and that parents are an integral part of child and youth mental health treatment.
In my spare time I enjoy parenting my 3 children, playing rugby, skiing, hiking with my lab, gardening, and exercising.
