Inside Out Therapy

Nadia is warm and compassionate, and takes pride in being able to make even the most nervous little ones—and their parents—feel comfort and safety during the therapeutic process. She knows how intimidating it can be to get started and is deeply grateful you are considering including her in your family’s wellness journey. Nadia honours the vulnerability it takes to seek support and wants to reassure parents that their proactive steps in planning for their child’s care are meaningful expressions of love, insight, and commitment.

Nadia specializes in working with children ages 3 to 12 using play-based techniques. She holds an undergraduate degree in Psychology, a Master of Social Work, and a Certificate in Child-Centred Play Therapy. She has also completed intensive training in Filial Therapy and Parent Support, and integrates these approaches to support both children and their caregivers.

Nadia takes a whole-family approach to care. She works from a child-centred play therapy (CCPT) perspective, creating a safe and accepting space where children can express themselves freely through play—a process shown to promote resilience, healing, and emotional growth. Recognizing the central role of parents in a child’s wellbeing, Nadia actively invites parent involvement in the therapy process and offers parent coaching as a key component of her work. Whether through parent consultations, skill-building sessions, or Filial Therapy, she helps caregivers feel more confident, connected, and equipped to support their children at home.

With over 15 years of experience supporting children, youth, and young adults, Nadia brings a wealth of insight and dedication to her work. Before entering private practice, she held roles at agencies such as KidsAbility, Conestoga College, The Canadian Hearing Society, Lutherwood, and more.
