Adolescence is a transitional period where teens navigate biological and cognitive changes, independence and relationships with peers, parents and other authority figures. This can lead to behavioural issues, mood changes and cognitive challenges that cause anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, PTSD, ADHD, ASD and more. We'll explore the experiences, patterns and relationships that either cause, maintain or worsen these patterns and collaboratively identify appropriate strategies to alleviate or eliminate these difficulties.

When a person realizes that self awareness is the only long term solution, they will seek only to understand themselves. No longer do they seek to blame the outside world for their thoughts or feelings. My ideal client is one who seeks to do the work to evolve . Together we start the journey to locate the "inner" barriers that may be holding you back. We do the work to gain control of your thoughts and feelings that are keeping you feeling "stuck". Lasting relief comes from learning techniques which are less about problem-solving and more about letting-go of old beliefs and habits. Know thyself and the whole world changes!

Family-of-origin issues may cause adults to experience anxiety, depression, or other mood or personality disorders. Individuals who grow up with difficult family relationships may find dating, working relationships, friendships and even relationships with themselves to be difficult. Lack of safety may result in infidelity, mistrust, validation seeking, lack of boundaries, conflict (causing or avoidance), anger, eating disorders or addiction. These challenges can be passed down for generations. Therapy can help resolve these issues by providing space to process, gain insight and learn new patterns.
