About Aimee

I have been dedicated to supporting children, teens and families since 2008. I have had the privilege to journey alongside families in hospital, community mental health, and school settings. Most recently, I provided therapy for children and youth at one of Waterloo Region's largest Trauma Treatment programs. 

I believe that families are the experts of their own experience, and that children and youth have innate wisdom about their own thoughts and feelings. My goal is to create a supportive space for this wisdom to come forward, fostering healing and resilience that extends beyond the therapy space.  

My individual work with children and youth is also complimented by evidence-based parent consultation; to equip caregivers with tools to better understand their child's behaviour, strengthen family bonds, and co-create solutions to problems.
