Rooted Intention Parenting & Mentorship - Website
I am a Child and Youth Counsellor with 10+ years of experience in children's mental health, school settings as well as inpatient hospital settings. I have worked with children, youth and their families in many capacities over the last decade. My private practice is rooted in empowering parents and caregivers to align with their parenting goals, strengthen their family relationships, step into their worth and create positive change. My focus is on helping you connect with your child or teen, build confidence and step into your full parenting potential.
Alongside my work with parents and caregivers, I’ve always been passionate about supporting teens and youth as they navigate the challenges of growing up. Teenage and early adulthood are full of new experiences, decisions, and changes - and it’s easy to feel uncertain or overwhelmed along the way.
My approach is to create a safe, welcoming space where young people can explore these challenges, build self-esteem, confidence, and a positive body image, and develop practical skills to step into life’s unknowns with resilience.
Areas of Focus:
Parent & Caregiver Support – Mentorship, coaching, and guidance for parents navigating the challenges of raising children and teens. I bring a trauma-informed approach and practical strategies to help parents feel confident, supported, and aligned with their parenting goals.
Teen & Youth Support - Creating a safe, welcoming space where teens and youth can explore challenges, build skills, and develop confidence, self-esteem, and resilience.
ADHD Support – Drawing from my own lived experience with ADHD, I help teens build practical strategies, confidence, and self-awareness to navigate life’s challenges. I also support parents who are “deep in the trenches” of ADHD and parenthood, helping them feel understood, empowered, and equipped.
Trauma-Informed Approaches – I’m trained in DDP (Dyadic Developmental Psychotherapy), Sanctuary, and Creating Presence, providing supports rooted in understanding, safety, and connection.
Reflective & Collaborative Dialogue – Creating a space where teens and parents can explore ideas and challenges together while feeling heard.
Empowerment-Focused Mentorship – Helping clients (youth or parents) discover their own solutions, strengths, and confidence in decision-making.
Mindfulness & Self-Regulation Tools – Simple, practical exercises to support focus, calm, and emotional awareness.
Narrative & Story-Based Approaches – Using discussion, journaling, or creative expression to help youth process experiences and build identity.
