HEALING & GROWTH THROUGH PLAY
Child Play Therapy and Parent Support in St. Thomas, Ontario
Evidence-based 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.
Through play therapy and parent support, I 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.

The Courageous Counselling Blog
Parenting can feel overwhelming, especially when you’re not sure what your child needs or how to help. That’s why I share articles on play, parenting, and children’s mental health — to offer encouragement, practical tools, and a glimpse of my approach before you ever step into a session. Think of it as a resource you can return to whenever you need fresh perspective or a reminder that change is possible.
