Taking the time to seek help for yourself, your family or your kid/teen is a courageous and vulnerable first step.

Rooted in positive psychology and mindfulness approaches, my counselling sessions integrate several evidence-based therapies including CBT, DBT, EFFT and somatic processing. I practice virtually only and welcome individuals of all backgrounds.

I believe that you should do you. I also think that you should do the least anxious, least depressed, least traumatized and least isolated version of you that you can do. Reaching out for counselling can be really nerve-racking. It is also hard to admit that there is something in your life that might not be working quite right. My hopes are that you can make the changes that you want to make, and I'm hoping that I can support you to do it.

We all experience challenges to attain certain milestones. This part of the human experience teaches adaptive skills on our learning trajectories. We get stuck when complex issues, like trauma, marginalization, mental health and addiction get in the way of our potential. Relationship is the antidote to suffering and it enables skills development to realize our potentials and confront challenges. I foster a trusting therapeutic relationship for a safe and supportive exploratory process into your thoughts, feelings, history, and experiences to identify obstacles and develop tools to reach the milestones of a fulfilling life.

Teen Counsellors
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.
