I provide both short and long-term therapy services to anyone looking to process a vast array of psychological and personal issues. Often, we experience difficulties in our lives but are not entirely sure why. Consequently, we end up feeling alone and confused as we confront the same inner and outer conflicts time-and-time again. Understanding the reasons for our psychological struggles can be the first step in resolving these distresses. Grounded in Insight Therapy, which seeks to discover the roots of emotional suffering, I can help you recognize how events in your past are negatively influencing your current thoughts, emotions and behaviours.

We’re human. And as humans, there will be times where we need the presence of a kind, compassionate, and non-judgemental other to walk alongside us through our struggles, circumstances, and suffering. That’s what my practice is all about: using the gift of the therapeutic relationship to create space for us to explore and experience our emotions in a way that helps us feel empowered to re-write the problem-saturated stories we tell about ourselves into stories that are life-giving, true, and sacred. When it comes to your frustrations, fears, struggles, suffering, and existential questioning, you don't need to walk alone.

Reaching for help is a brave step. Whatever has brought you to this point, has likely taken a toll. Life stresses build up. Unresolved conflicts and traumas keep showing up and cause recurring issues. You notice patterns: the same argument, or same worry, the same relationship dynamics. Previous efforts to fix the problem have only brought temporary relief. You are tired of feeling this way, of fighting, of feeling alone... You want someone to help you get to the root of the issue and bring some lasting change and resolution. It's my honor to walk alongside you.

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.
