Counselling
&
Consultation
(ages 6 and under)
I am here to help clarify what is going on with your child, and what to do about it.
Common parent concerns include:
-
getting along with peers and caregivers
-
following instructions
-
meltdowns, temper tantrums, fighting, hitting, kicking, spitting...
-
lying...or story telling?
-
stimming
-
worrying, nail biting, thumb sucking, shirt chewing
I delight in engaging with children and caregivers. My approach is firmly rooted in evidence-based care, with space for creativity and humour.
I prioritize relationship and honour each child's unique interests, while using research-based developmental approaches, including DIR & Floortime©, the Neurosequential Model of Therapeutics, Play Therapy, Theraplay, and cognitive behavioural models.
