Hi there! Anxiety and overwhelm are increasingly common for teens and young adults—and it makes sense. Many are navigating academic pressure, the transition to post-secondary education, relationships, the impact of technology, high expectations, and learning how to set healthy boundaries. I specialize in providing counselling for teens and young adults experiencing anxiety, stress, and emotional overwhelm. I offer a supportive, non-judgmental space where clients feel heard and understood while learning practical tools to build confidence, manage anxiety, and navigate daily life with greater ease.
I work collaboratively with clients, drawing on evidence-based approaches such as CBT, DBT, and EMDR. My focus is on understanding what matters most to you, so we can create practical, personalized strategies that support your goals, reduce anxiety, and help you feel more grounded, confident, and connected in your day-to-day life.
Finding the right counsellor can be a process, and it’s normal to feel unsure or a little uncomfortable. With this in mind, I offer a free, no-obligation phone consultation where you can ask questions, get a sense of my approach, and see if working together feels like a good fit.
