Welcome and thank you for checking out my profile. Individuals are moved to pursue therapy for a variety of reasons.

I work with teens and young adults to navigate the ups & downs that come with life, including issues related to ADHD, anxiety, family conflict, depression, big emotions, impulse control, and others (e.g. substance use, school avoidance, risk-taking behaviours, self-harm). My style of therapy supports gentle curiousity about the roots of an emotion and/or behaviour, building internal resources, and increasing resiliency. After all, life isn’t always easy and I want young people to trust that they have the understanding, capabilities, and skills to get through (and even thrive!), especially when things get rough.

It takes courage to be vulnerable and it can be uncomfortable to discuss your difficulties with a therapist.

My approach is trauma-informed, which means I will work with you to understand the roots of your difficulties, challenges, and struggles for you to be able to design and create a better future for yourself, and your family.
