Life can feel overwhelming sometimes. It may be that you are experiencing anxiety, stress, depression, grief, interpersonal issues or burnout that is beginning to take over your day-to-day functioning. You might notice persistent worry, trouble concentrating, mood swings, difficulty switching off, sleep disruption, physical tension, or feeling like you’re constantly behind or emotionally stretched. I offer a calm, supportive space where we can make sense of what’s going on beneath the surface and work toward specific goals and practical, sustainable change.

I have experience working with adults and teenagers navigating relationship challenges, life transitions, anxiety, depression, and neurodivergent related issues such as burnout and the pressure to mask.
In sessions I foster a judgement free, supportive environment where you can feel safe to explore the full range of your thoughts and emotions. Together we will unearth and explore your unconscious thought patterns and beliefs, and the life experiences that have shaped them, curiously examining whether they are serving and supporting you or holding you back.

People come to see me because they feel stuck in their lives. They might feel disconnected socially, like they lack true meaning in their life, unfulfilled in work or struggling with their romantic relationships. Often they come because they feel they are not good enough in some fundamental way. These are universal issues we all face and therapy is a brave step towards bringing compassionate healing to the subtle conscious and unconscious parts of self that create the patterns of thoughts, feelings and behaviour that keep us stuck in seemingly never ending cycles.

FAQ - Teenage and Adolescent Therapists
What does therapy for teenagers look like?
When a therapist works with a teenager, the pair will talk about what the teen is struggling with and explore solutions, which may involve interpersonal skills, coping strategies, medication, or lifestyle changes related to sleep, diet, and exercise. Different therapists employ different modalities, but most involve a combination of conversation and skill building.

How long does therapy for teenagers generally take to work?
There’s variability in teenagers’ experiences and challenges; some may begin to improve from therapy within a few weeks while others may take several months or longer. Teens can discuss their progress with their therapist periodically to assess how they’re improving and any changes to the treatment plan that could potentially accelerate that progress.

How do you encourage a teenager to go to therapy?
It’s helpful to express your concern and love while framing therapy as an opportunity to explore a tool that could help improve their life; just like they practice baseball or dance, now they can practice their emotional skills. Give your teen control over the process where you can—maybe by weighing in on choice of therapist and signaling that therapy involves confidentiality, so a parent need not know all that is discussed in sessions.

How do you prepare teens for therapy?
You can prepare your teenager for therapy by describing what the process will look like and setting expectations for timeline, if requested. You can explain that the first session may begin with an assessment phase, that they can describe their experiences but that the therapist will ask questions too, and that it may take time to feel comfortable opening up. Ask how they’re feeling about the process and answer any questions calmly and supportively.
