Child & Youth Therapy

Is your child or youth struggling with self-esteem issues?
Struggling with thoughts or feelings regarding sexual orientation or gender identity?
Sadness or worries?

Therapy can help with such problems. As a former Early Childhood Educator in my younger days and now, as a Registered Social Worker and Therapist I have worked in child and adolescent mental health both with youth who have sexually offended, with children under the age of 12 years exhibiting concerning sexual behaviour and with both children and youth who have experienced intra-familial sexual abuse. I also work with children and youth and their caregivers who have experienced internet child exploitation. Other areas of concern I have worked with both children and youth on are:

  • Experiences of homophobia or transphobia
  • Gender dysphoria
  • Low self-esteem
  • Self-harming behaviour
  • Suicidal ideation
  • Bullying
  • Depression
  • Anxiety
  • Trauma
  • Interpersonal problems
