Meet Claire

Hello! My name is Claire, and I am a Registered Social Worker with a strong passion for supporting children, youth, and families. I specialize in working with children ages 3 and up, and I strive to create a safe, supportive space where individuals feel heard, understood, and empowered.

My practice focuses on helping children and youth navigate a range of challenges, including emotional dysregulation, anxiety, depression, behavioural concerns, and other mental health difficulties. I also have extensive experience supporting individuals in the autism community, people with physical and developmental disabilities, and those living with chronic pain and chronic illness.

​

I take a collaborative, person-centred approach to therapy, grounded in compassion, curiosity, and respect. I work closely with children and their caregivers to identify goals, build coping strategies, and strengthen emotional resilience. My work is rooted in a holistic and strength-based framework, and I draw on a range of therapeutic approaches tailored to each individual’s needs—such as play-based therapy, cognitive-behavioural techniques, dialectical behaviour therapy, and mindfulness-based strategies.

​

I hold a Bachelor of Social Work from King’s University College (2017) and completed my Master of Social Work at the University of Waterloo in 2023.

​

If you’re looking for support for your child, I’m here to offer a warm, collaborative space where they can explore their emotions, develop healthy coping strategies, and build confidence as they grow.
