Do you ever feel too overwhelmed to deal with your problems while managing the day to day? Perhaps you've been feeling depressed, stressed or anxious for a long time. Or you find yourself exhausted while trying to navigate grief or trauma. Anytime your quality of life isn't where you want it to be, counselling can help. You may be reluctant to try psychotherapy or have tried but did not find a good fit. I am a firm believer that successful therapy is a collaborative relationship between the therapist and client. This relationship needs to be based in authenticity and hope - with the goals of leading effective change.

Change, whether chosen or imposed, can be one of the most challenging of life's gifts. Working as a Therapist in the addiction and mental health field for more than 25 years has allowed me the privilege of working with individuals who, like me, face some difficulties that are seemingly too complex to work out on their own. Finding the right person to explore such sensitive and personal issues is no easy feat which is why providing an authentic and judgement-free space is at the heart of my therapy practice. I am currently accepting new clients for both in-person and online therapy!

Life can be unpredictable. We can lose balance / feel hurt / confused / misunderstood. Our “people” aren’t always there when we reach out. Additionally, some of us seek “connection” to de-stress & some want to “be alone.” These differences can lead to feeling abandoned or overwhelmed. Therapy offers tools to foster connection, resilience & self-awareness. Therapy helps get clear & gain intimacy with ourself & others. Our problems aren’t always solved just by talking. Is it your 1st time in therapy? You can still feel safe & productive. Check out my articles published in Psychology Today & call for a no obligation consult.

Hi, I’m Becca. If you’re here, you might feel like you’re stuck in the mud of life— caught between feeling like you’re “too much” or “not enough”. Whether you’re struggling in your relationships, navigating life transitions, facing loss, or working through big feelings like fear, anger, and shame, I’m here to meet you where you are. That’s where I come in. For me, being a therapist means sitting in the mud with you, wading into the messiness together, and working with you toward a place where you can begin to listen to and trust yourself.

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.
