Little Waves Therapy is a psychotherapy practice based in Thornhill, Ontario, with an informational website that presents services and supports appointment booking. Its primary function is to provide individualized therapy for children ages 7 and older, teens up to 18, and their parents or families. The practice supports young people with ADHD, anxiety, autism spectrum disorder Level 1, emotional regulation, self-esteem, social challenges, and school-related stress. Services include in-person individual therapy at 66 Centre St in Thornhill and secure online sessions for teens, parents, and families located anywhere in Ontario.

Her listed credentials include a Bachelor of Arts in the Faculty of Science, a Master of Arts in Counselling Psychology, certification as an Autism Spectrum Disorder Clinical Specialist, a CBT Foundational Certificate, a DBT Skills for Adolescents and Families Certificate, and an Introduction to Play Therapy Fundamentals Certificate. Therapy is described as collaborative and paced to each child or teen, using evidence-based approaches and practical skill building. Areas of focus include attention and impulse control, anxiety and avoidance, emotional awareness and coping, confidence and resilience, social skills and peer relationships, and academic pressure or test anxiety. Typical use involves a parent or teen contacting the practice to arrange a free 15-minute phone consultation, then scheduling therapy sessions if the fit is appropriate. New clients book the consultation through Jane App, and existing clients schedule follow-up appointments through Jane App or by email. In-person services serve families in Thornhill, Vaughan, Richmond Hill, and the surrounding York Region area, while virtual sessions are available across Ontario. The website functions as an informational and scheduling resource rather than a standalone software application.
