Life can feel overwhelming when you're managing big emotions, a chronic illness like Type 1 Diabetes, or the whirlwind that comes with cancer—whether it’s yours or someone you love’s. Maybe your child is stuck in anxiety loops, dealing with OCD, burnout, or navigating grief or self-esteem challenges. Maybe you're a teen or young adult trying to balance “normal life” while your world feels anything but normal. If things feel heavy or out of control, you’re in the right place.
I help kids, teens, young adults, and families find relief from the chaos—whether it’s health-related or emotional. As a therapist specializing in chronic illness, Type 1 Diabetes, cancer support, anxiety, OCD, and life transitions, I provide a space to feel understood, work through the hard stuff, and rediscover what feels good again.
Therapy doesn’t have to be stiff or intimidating—it can be real, warm, and have humour incorporated. Let’s figure out what’s going on and find a better way forward together. Email me to book a free consultation and see if we’re a good fit.

In your first couple sessions, we'll explore what brought you to therapy and then decide the most appropriate ways to help you make progress and which style might work best for you. For instance, with CBT we'll look at how your thoughts affect your emotions and experiences. During treatment, we'd help you learn how to push back against those thoughts to change your feelings for the better.
