While youth mental health is where I've spent many professional years, my true special interest is neurodiversity—ASD, AuDHD and ADHD.
My gift and desire to help others use creative expression is what has me leaping out of bed each day. I want to help others use creative expression to explore what's going on for them, helping them delve into their inner worlds. I grew up in an intensely creative and neurodiverse family, highly attuned to the beauty of nature, music, art and words. I've always loved the opportunities these forms of expression provide to express myself, and to feel deeply—beyond words.

We may be functional and live through life stage transitions. Sometimes we struggle with emotional or psychological residues of underlying past trauma, anxiety or depression. We all seek a safe and empathetic space to explore emotions and experiences, aiming to achieve mental well-being and emotional resilience. We want to manage overall impact of stress, anxiety, depression or trauma and seek inner peace, improve relationships, and build a fulfilling life. We often wish to overcome individual challenges so that we develop capacity for growth and positive change. Everyone deserves a chance to heal, be happy, and find inner peace.

There is nothing more important than your mental health. No matter what may have happened in your past, or what may be causing your current distress, it does not have to be your story. If you are feeling stuck in your past, or find yourself repeating destructive patterns of behaviour, or if you have tried therapy in the past and it hasn't helped, there are powerful therapies and strategies that can relieve your current distress and support your longer term coping. It is my aim that you leave each session feeling lighter, better able to manage your emotions, feel more positive more often, and feel more in control of your life.

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.
