I am currently accepting new clients! - Are you a preteen, teen or young adult that feels as if life is kicking your butt? You don't know how to feel with the stress and anxiety of everyday life? Or, you don't know how to make the right plans to set you up for the rest of your life? Going through life is tough, and sometimes no-one else understands, or will not give the time of day to listen. This may lead to depression, barriers in your everyday life, and just an overall overwhelming sense of being. All of these challenges are difficult, but very real. Your feelings, thoughts, and behaviours are all valid!

If you're feeling disconnected, distracted, and detached from your life, it may be time to look at why. Why can't I connect, why am I not able to just "get over" my past, or why does it all feel so meaningless? Maybe there are other questions, like “what am I doing with my life” or “who do I want to be?”. It’s okay to take time that's just for you, to look at your life and see both the big picture and explore the often overlooked details. With the right support, you can feel more present, connected, and in control of your life.

I would be most helpful to clients who may be struggling at school (K-university), have ADHD or symptoms of inattention/hyperactivity/impulsivity, deal with emotional and behavioural disturbance, suicidal thoughts, or self-harm, have social interaction difficulties, deal with low self-esteem, have chronic illnesses or pains (this only for up to 18 years old), or struggle with adjustment to a new situation, whether it is a regular stage of life (e.g., moving out of house to a university, parenthood) or tragic life changes (e.g., grief, loss of loved ones). Consultation with schools is my specialty as well.

Welcome, I hope to be a support for the start of your journey! I understand the courage needed to seek help and empathize with those looking for someone to help their loved ones through a difficult time. The experiences people face today can be challenging and sometimes difficult to understand. With many life transitions, experiences, emotions, and feelings, we may be left confused, anxious or lose a sense of who we are. Finding a therapist who can help support you through these times can spark rediscovery in your strength and resilience and allow for a remarkable start to our journey together.

We can all go through challenges in life that leave us feeling confused, hurt, or unsure of how to move forward. When we work to discover and heal from old ways of thinking and feeling, in both mind and body, we can free ourselves from the unhelpful ties to the past and focus on a future that is of our creation. While providing a safe and compassionate space, my approach is creative, open, and flexible. I understand that just as painful experiences are unique for each person, so is their healing process.
