Therapists for Teens in L7T

I am shaped by the belief in the intrinsic strength each of us as humans possess. Perhaps you are feeling exhausted by your efforts to feel better and heal from anxiety, depression, body image/food concerns or an eating struggle and seek meaningful long-lasting change. Through a gentle down-to-earth approach, I guide you through a compassionate healing process deepening your relationship with your self and to life, cultivating inner freedom.

Hello and welcome! Being a parent can be frustrating, lonely, draining and confusing. At the same time, being a child/teen is also so confusing, stressful and overwhelming much of the time. While these relationships can be a source of pain, our connection to each other is also essential to our well-being. I work with children, teens and parents to help understand, work through and heal from pain and rebuild joy through connection. I will spend a lot of time really getting to know you and your family’s story. I aim to be compassionate and non-judgmental, understanding we all have a good reason for why we do the things we do.

Do you find yourself constantly worrying about everything? You’re an adult or teenager who is always feeling anxious even though you don’t have anything happening in your life that should make you worry, it is impacting your ability to focus and sleep, and you feel like nothing can help you relax. You may feel like you will never be able to calm your mind, but you’re ready to make a change and try something new. You’re ready to learn strategies to help you relax. You want to learn how to manage your anxiety so that you can start living your life to the fullest without worrying what that will bring. I want to help guide you there.

My practice has a comprehensive focus on mental heath, marriage couple and family therapy and family mediation. Having been trained in a hospital setting, I work effectively with depression, anxiety disorders, addictions and most mental health disorders. In addition, I have a comprehensive focus on marriage, couples and family therapy focusing on couples experiencing a high level of marital conflict, relationship breakdown or who want to improve the quality of their relationship. Restoring healthy relationships and supporting healthy family systems is one of my core passions! Do you feel you need this?

In my supervised private practice I provide mental health support to women as well as families. I utilize evidence-based interventions and strive to create a safe, non-judgemental, and trusting therapeutic relationship with my clients. As a young mother I can empathize with the challenges women and families go through. Parents only want what is best for their children and it can be really difficult when they are struggling. In my supervised private practice I work with women, children ages 6-10, and adolescents ages 11-17.

Because it's hard. Because it's heavy. Because it hurts. Because you've been struggling for a while, and it's time to reach out. You have good reasons for feeling this way. Let's discover those good reasons together, and find ways for you to live alongside anxiety and depression, stress and change, grief and loss, parenting challenges, and/or trauma. Along the way, we will learn about your perspectives and values. Some clients want to explore their pasts to help understand their present, while others want to focus on the current situation. Whatever the case, I will help you reconnect with the wisdom and strength you already possess.

IN-PERSON & VIRTUAL. It is inevitable that we will be faced with challenges & hardships throughout our lifetime. Whilst most of these challenges may be manageable, some can feel impossible to work through & overcome alone. Connecting with a therapist can be a valuable first step towards positive change, becoming the best version of yourself & getting the support you need. Although we may not always feel like it, we hold a lot of power in our ability to face & overcome problems. Therapy can help you find that power & strength and get you back into the driver seat of your life. There is no issue too big or small for therapy.

Motherhood is so often glamorized as the most beautiful, selfless, magical phase of life and although this can sometimes feel true, often the demands of being a new parent are far from it. The impact of prolonged sleep deprivation and prioritizing our baby's needs while dismissing our own can keep us stuck in the fight-flight response. When this goes unchecked, you may notice feelings of anxiety and depression, along with bursts of rage followed by shame and guilt. I support clients by helping them find ways to come out of the constant fight or flight response and to begin parenting from a place that is more integrated and grounded.

Life at times can be challenging and hard for every one of us. However, not everyone can navigate through life's difficulties without an extra hand. Do you feel stuck?

A trusting space where you can arrive as your whole self and be heard, accepted, and supported.

Hi there. Looking for the right fit for a therapist may feel a bit overwhelming. I invite you to take a moment to inhale deeply and slowly exhale, releasing tension as you do. Imagine... a space where you can go to share what needs to be heard. feel your way through complex emotions, process the blocks that hold you back and learn healthy ways of coping. Here, you will be supported as you lean into yourself. " Your task is not to seek for love, but merely to seek and find all the barriers within yourself that you have built against it." -Rumi

Are you ready to feel better? Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT) is a proven, effective treatment to help you work through life's challenges. If you are looking for relief from anxiety, depression, OCD, PTSD, insomnia, chronic pain, panic attacks, addictions, or other mental health concerns, CBT may be the right therapy for you. Using a variety of tools and strategies, CBT helps us to see how our thought patterns influence how we feel, and how we act in the world. Our thoughts, feelings, behaviours, and our body are so connected - each one re-inforces the other, making it very easy to get caught in a downward spiral.

At times, life can be difficult. We can be caught off guard when we are thrown that unexpected curveball. Many of us may feel stuck and think the rest of the world is passing us by. If you need to talk or get some things off your chest, I am here to listen and provide strategies that offer a sense of comfort and results. As a Psychotherapist and Social Worker, I currently provide psychotherapy to adolescents and adults while also offering highly supportive clinical supervision to graduate students and new practitioners.

Do you struggle with meeting yourself with the same compassion and kindness that you give so often to others? Perhaps you are finding it more challenging by the day to take a break and meet your own needs due to the demands of everyday life. Maybe you know you need to make a change, but the overwhelming feeling of not knowing where to start prevents you from taking that first step. I am here to help. I provide support to those who struggle with anxiety, stress, life-transitions, emotion regulation, parenting and relationship challenges. I am passionate about helping individuals learn how to prioritize their own needs.
