Have you felt like you're living in a world that wasn't designed for you? Wondering about autism, ADHD, or something else? Perhaps you're beginning to lean into a newly discovered queer identity? Or maybe you'd like support in resisting the normative pressures of a world that doesn't always welcome your beautifully complex and multi-faceted self. I offer a safe and non-judgmental space to explore the many layers of your experience, and re-author the narrative in ways that feel more aligned with who you are and how you prefer to be.

Many people living with complex trauma, anxiety, neurodivergence, and the impacts of LGBTQIA+ minority stress come to therapy believing there is something "wrong" with them. We can struggle for a lifetime in our attempts to "fix" ourselves and our lives. But what if the basic premise isn't true? My practice is grounded in the belief that you have responded to your life exactly as anyone else would, given what you've been through. In our work, I'll support you to understand this impact, identify the resources you already bring, develop new approaches if needed, and keep your life pointed in the direction of what truly matters to you.

If you've found yourself here, life has probably become harder than you expected. Perhaps anxiety has become exhausting, panic attacks seem to come out of nowhere, work feels overwhelming, or experiences from the past continue to affect your life. Whatever has brought you here, I'd like you to know one thing from the beginning: you are not crazy.
Many people come to counselling believing they're somehow broken because they can't simply "get over it." More often, their thoughts, emotions and reactions make sense when viewed in the context of what they've experienced.

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.
