Children & Teens

I hold a Master’s degree (M.Sc) with a focus on child and adolescent mental health. I've received specialized training in Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) for children and teens from esteemed institutions such as the Royal Ottawa Mental Health Centre, Massachusetts Hospital, and Pathways Additionally, I utilize play techniques and strategies to enrich the therapeutic process. My training has provided me with insights into using games and therapeutic activities that promote optimal development, helping children and teens to self-regulate, problem-solve, and emotional stability and motivation. My education in child and youth work empowers me to foster resilience in the individuals I support.

Research shows that early intervention for mental health issues helps children and adolescents achieve their full potential, leading to happy and well-adjusted adulthood.
