I work with adolescents and young adults experiencing emotional dysregulation, behavioural challenges, or safety concerns. Many are navigating mood instability, impulsivity, identity confusion, or relationship conflict. They often feel overwhelmed, stuck, or ashamed, and want to feel understood without judgment, gain more control over their emotions, and build lives that feel meaningful. I also support parents to strengthen their skills and confidence in these often exhausting and isolating experiences.
I have 15 years’ experience supporting adolescents and young adults with a wide range of mental health needs. I bring deep empathy and compassion, while collaboratively challenging clients to move toward the changes they hope to make. I focus on their unique qualities and strengths, using evidence-based approaches like DBT, in trauma informed ways.
I understand how hard it can be to live in a world of confusion and distress —whether you're a young person feeling overwhelmed or a parent unsure of what to do next. I offer a calm, respectful space where we can explore what’s going on without judgement.

I work with young people experiencing distress and risk/safety concerns. I use practical DBT strategies combined with a person-centred approach. I bring empathy, compassion and validation combined with more structured DBT skill teaching as needed to help people navigate complex issues. I also offer support to parents who are often exhausted with the relentless nature of the worry for their teens.
