Most people just want to be happy. While that can certainly be achieved through counselling, I believe happiness is an emotion, like others, that comes and goes. Instead I work with you to create more peace, joy and fulfilment in your life. These are deeper long-lasting goals that are the foundation of life satisfaction. Over and above the specific concern you wish to work on, I aim to help you connect with who you really are as a person and facilitate the path to who you would like to be.

Welcome. I'm really glad you're here.
I aim to offer therapy as a space that feels calm, thoughtful, and genuinely human. I’m a warm and curious therapist by nature, and many people I work with are used to coping well on the outside while carrying a lot internally - anxiety, self-doubt, emotional overwhelm, or a sense of feeling disconnected from themselves or others. Therapy can be a place to slow things down, reflect, and begin to understand what’s really going on beneath the surface.

I instinctively formulate psychodynamically. However, I am a firm believer of meeting my clients where they are and together framing treatment within a modality that fits the presenting problem and the client’s therapeutic goals. I believe that one size does not fit all! This belief aligns with my integrative training which allows for the viewing of individuals as complex and dynamic beings, who at times struggle with interpersonal challenges rooted in multifaceted systems.

I am a registered social worker with a passion to leave people better than I found them. The first thing I often tell new clients is this: at some point, my hope is that you won’t need to see me anymore. That might sound like a strange thing for a therapist to say, but for me, that is the heart of the work.
My role is not to keep you dependent on therapy, but to facilitate a process where you feel heard, understood and accepted — while also helping you reconnect with yourself, understand what is happening beneath the surface, and build the practical skills to move forward with more confidence.

FAQ - Teenage and Adolescent Therapists
When does a teenager need to see a therapist?
Exploration and existential struggle is a normal part of adolescence, but if your teenager’s emotions or behaviours change so as to disrupt their ability to function academically or socially, you may want to consult a therapist. For example, if a teen’s grades in school drop suddenly or if they begin isolating from their friends and only spending time online, a parent may want to consider therapy.
What can an adolescent therapist help with?
Adolescence is a tumultuous time, and a therapist can help with the challenges that arise, whether they relate to emotions, academics, disruptive behaviours, self-esteem, friendships, family dynamics, sexual or gender identity, or alcohol and drug use. A therapist can help teenagers unpack their emotions, understand their experiences, and develop coping skills.
What therapy types are suitable for teenagers?
Teenagers may especially benefit from cognitive behavioural therapy (which identifies unhealthy thought patterns to change emotions and behaviours), dialectical behaviour therapy (DBT), which teaches emotion regulation and distress tolerance, acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), which teaches emotional acceptance and psychological flexibility, and interpersonal therapy, which targets interpersonal difficulties. Additionally, adolescent problems may involve family members; family therapy to improve family dynamics and communication is helpful in those cases.
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.
