"Play is often talked about as if it were a relief from serious learning. But for children, play is serious learning. Play is really the work of childhood." – Fred Rogers
I hold a Master of Arts in Counselling Psychology, specializing in children and youth, and am a certified AutPlay Therapy Provider and ADHD-Certified Clinical Services Provider (ADHD-CCSP). My practice is grounded in neurodiversity-affirming, strengths-based, and trauma-informed approaches. With specialized training in infant mental health and parent-child interaction, I focus on supporting young children and their families through challenges like anxiety, emotional regulation, trauma and strengthening parent-child relationships.

My professional experience spans a variety of roles and settings, including working as an educational assistant with the Vancouver School Board, supporting neurodiverse children in after-school programs, and providing in-home support to families with preschoolers.
I strive to create a safe, inclusive, and supportive space where children and families feel seen, heard, and valued. My client-centred approach integrates evidence-based practices like Narrative Therapy and Child-Centred Play Therapy. Grounded in anti-racist and intersectional frameworks, I tailor my sessions to honour each family’s unique strengths and lived experiences.
Together, we’ll nurture resilience, foster meaningful connections, and support your child’s growth.

About Favour
I have a special interest in supporting actors and families in the film industry and am trained in on-set mental health coordination. I’m also committed to providing culturally sensitive, strengths-based care, especially for Black children, children of colour, and Black transracial adoptees.
Outside of counselling, I love performing arts, singing to musicals, exploring Victoria’s beauty, trying to learn Spanish, and dreaming about the day I finally get a puppy!
