HEALING & GROWTH THROUGH PLAY
Play Therapy and Parent Support in St. Thomas, ON
Evidence-based child therapy that meets kids in their play and helps parents feel informed, supported, and less alone.
Because parenting isn’t meant to be done alone
When your child is struggling, it can leave the whole family feeling overwhelmed. But I want you to know that you don’t have to figure it out on your own.
My approach to child counselling combines play therapy and parent support to help children work through big feelings in ways that feel natural to them, while parents get steady reassurance and practical guidance. Early on, families often feel less stress and more connection. With continued support, that foundation leads to stronger relationships, resilient kids, and a more hopeful path forward.
