Well, that’s a wrap on this school year! I’m so grateful for my time teaching in the Child and Youth Care and Social Service Worker programs.

Teaching will always hold a special place in my heart. Being able to bring my academic, professional, and personal experiences into the classroom has been incredibly motivating and fun.

As I close this chapter (for now), I can't help but reflect on how appreciative I am for the opportunities that have come from lots of hard work and having the confidence to take chances.

Grateful for what’s been, and excited for what’s ahead.

Is your child struggling with school drop-offs, bedtime, missing someone special, parental separation, or loss? 💛✨

The Invisible String by Patrice Karst gently supports secure attachment by reminding children they’re always connected to the ones they love. It strengthens your relationship through shared language and offers a calming tool for regulating big feelings during moments of separation.

A simple story that builds security, connection, and comfort - no matter the distance.

❗So grateful for all the messages and interest I've received since starting in private practice in June - thank you 🤍

I am currently at full capacity and not accepting new individual clients. I will be sure to share an update here when that changes.

In the meantime, some of my wonderful colleagues do have availability, and I’m always happy to help connect you.

🌟 What does group counselling for kids and teens look like?

All group counselling programs are unique. I recently announced three different groups for children and teens! Each of the groups I am running will follow a general format to help participants feel safe and supported.

All groups will co-create group norms and expectations, giving participants a sense of ownership and belonging.

Each session includes:

1️⃣ Relationship Building and Check-Ins
2️⃣ Psychoeducation – learning new concepts and skills
3️⃣ Application – practicing skills in a fun, interactive way
4️⃣ Closing – reflecting on the session, connecting with peers, and grounding before leaving

Interested in learning which group might be the right fit? Reach out for details!

🌟 Group counselling helps kids and teens grow, connect, and thrive!

From learning with and from their peers, to realizing they’re not alone, group sessions give young people a safe space to express their feelings, practice coping skills, build confidence, and try out new strategies.

Support, connection, and growth - all in a welcoming group setting.
