Children don’t always have the words to explain what they’re feeling, but play can help tell the story.

Play-based therapy offers children a safe space to express emotions, build coping skills, process experiences, and strengthen connection through play, creativity, and relationship.

Whether a child is struggling with anxiety, big emotions, behaviour changes, stress, or life transitions, support can look different than simply “talking about it.”

If you’d like to learn more about play-based therapy or whether it may be a good fit for your child, connect with our team.

Laura is a bilingual clinician (English/French) who conducts psycho-educational, ADHD, socio-emotional, and autism assessments, as well as Individual Education Plan (IEP) reviews for children and youth. Prior to entering clinical practice, Laura worked for many years as an elementary school teacher and Special Education Resource Teacher (SERT), supporting students with diverse learning needs and collaborating closely with families and school teams. This experience deeply informs her assessment work, ensuring that recommendations are practical, individualized, and meaningful within real-world school and home contexts. Given her extensive background in special education, Laura has a strong interest in supporting students with special needs in the classroom and a clear understanding of the demands and challenges educators face within classroom settings.

Laura’s knowledge of special education procedures is particularly beneficial in helping parents understand the steps that follow their child’s assessment. She is available for post-assessment IEP consultation and also offers IEP consultation as a standalone service for families seeking additional support.
