Your road to recovery starts here

Life can be very difficult – managing work and life, building meaningful relationships, negotiating family dynamics, raising children, losing loved ones and/or going through traumatic, or other painful experiences, we often end up feeling overwhelmed, burdened, scared, worried, anxious, numb, or depressed, losing our sense of being a masterpiece and a work in progress simultaneously.


The Healing Process

Get to Know Me Better

Services

Difficulties such as addiction, depression, anxiety, trauma, eating disorders and stress, take some time to understand and unpack properly which will affect the time frame of therapy. My methods and practices, however, commonly take between six and eight weeks per patient.

Gathering as much knowledge as possible is key to developing my strategies as effectively as possible. I create a clear path of healing in a nurturing environment to help each individual patient.

Individual Therapy

I offer one-on-one therapy sessions as well as couples therapy to help you through your difficulties.

All sessions are treated with the individual attention in order to make your recovery process as smooth as possible.

Play Therapy

I have a hands-on approach with Parent(s) / Guardian(s) and encourage their involvement in the therapeutic process as it is key to addressing behavioural and emotional concerns and / or difficulties.

It has been said that parents are the “architect” or the “conductor” of a child’s development and I will be there to guide them through this journey.

Workshops

Workshops focus on an organisation’s inherent needs such as:

  • Teacher Training and Development for coping with school challenges and stressors
  • Causes of challenging behaviours
  • Strategies of managing ‘challenging behaviour’
  • How children with ‘challenging behaviour’ may present – identification of the ‘root cause’
  • Difficult conversations, feedback with parents / staff
  • Staff (teacher or corporate) Decompression Sessions / Team Building Sessions
  • Bullying and implementing protocols and policies
  • Identified social concerns
  • Sexual education

A needs analysis (in person or online) to be obtained.
