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. 

When I'm not supporting clients, I am also a public speaker and group training facilitator. I have travelled across Canada to delivering engaging, practical training for helpers, healers, and parents that are both engaging and fun, while being informed by the latest mental health research and my clinical expertise. 

My training opportunities are designed to build confidence, connection, and practical skills in your work and daily life with children, and can be delivered both on-site and virtually.
