Therapists for Teens in T8N

Taking NEW clients! You see your child or teen struggling with their emotions, worrying about small things, feeling sad and stressed out, or having lost confidence in themselves. You are stressed and overwhelmed with trying to figure out how to help them and are feeling lost. You worry about your child and wonder how you can help them. Imagine seeing your child or teen smiling, laughing and relaxed. Imagine them knowing how to manage their emotions and worries and having skills to problem solve with confidence. My goal is to support you and your child on the journey to living their best life and gaining these skills.

Throughout my 13 years working in the mental health field, I have learned that the process of therapy is as unique as the people who choose to take this brave journey into themselves. Challenges and difficulties are a reality of life, and therapy is geared toward supporting you as you address uncomfortable feelings or other Psychological needs as you move toward relief. As a non-judgemental member of your team, we will look at using the skills and strengths you already have to become more present and aware in your life. Because wellness is different for everyone, please know that no struggles are too small for therapy.

At times anxiety, depression and/or trauma may impede an individual's natural ability to cope.

For the past 10 years, I have specialized in supporting sexual and gender diverse children, youth, and families.

Feeling distant from your spouse? Fighting with your teen? Struggling with anger, anxiety, depression, or addiction? Experienced trauma?

Each of us is on a sacred journey of becoming – to know and understand ourselves and the stories we find ourselves in. There are seasons in every person's life when we are no longer able to make sense of our stories. We can lose touch with or feel stuck in our stories when we are wounded by painful experiences or past trauma, struggling with relationships, weighed down by grief and loss, or weary with lost purpose and meaning in our lives. What do you do when you find yourself "a stranger in your own story"?

20 years ago I began work in mental health as respite care. I later completed my professional goals of becoming a psychologist. Today my focus is Trauma and Addictions with youth and adults and experience with Veterans and First Responders. From the moment we are born we search for connection, love, and a sense of belonging. Growing up, in life this journey can be fraught with struggle, trauma, pain, and loss. But there is a silver lining. Amidst adversity we find courage and authenticity. We can find acceptance and the understanding of self compassion and empathy, that leads into true connection with ourselves and others.
