As we move through life, we inevitably run into issues that are difficult to navigate, such as trouble with a boss, spouse / partner, or a struggle with anxiety, depression, or stress. We try our best to solve these issues ourselves. Sometimes, no matter what we try, we can feel as if we are 'banging our head against a wall'. These times can be frustrating, tiring, and scary. At these moments, a helping hand and another perspective may be welcome. I have provided this support to individuals, couples and families since 2000. I would be honoured to partner with you.

Many of the people I work with are thoughtful, motivated, and deeply committed to doing things differently than how they were raised. They genuinely want to show up calmly and consistently for their those they love — but they still find themselves getting triggered, overwhelmed, or stuck in patterns they don’t like. I work with people who want to understand their patterns, emotional wounds, and nervous system responses that are driving their reactions.
When we slow down and explore what’s happening underneath the surface, parenting becomes less about trying harder and more about responding from a grounded, regulated place.

When life feels overwhelming, it can be hard to know where to start or how to keep going. I work with individuals who feel emotionally overloaded, stuck in familiar patterns, or weighed down by thoughts and experiences that are hard to sort through alone. Many people come to therapy wanting relief from overwhelm, while also hoping to better understand themselves, heal old patterns, or stay focused on growth and change.

FAQ - Teenage and Adolescent Therapists
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.
