Clients who want to gain control over disempowering moments and memories in a safe environment will feel at home in my office.

You're good at holding it all together, showing up, and keeping going. But privately, you're exhausted, quietly falling apart in ways you haven't told anyone. Maybe you've been through a life change, a loss, the transition into motherhood, or a chapter that took more out of you than expected. You feel overwhelmed, disconnected, like you don't recognise yourself anymore. You're tired of pretending you're fine. You might have thoughts that you're afraid make you a bad person. Knowing something and actually shifting it are two different things.

You may feel like you've done everything you're supposed to do; read the books, learned the coping skills, understood your patterns, yet still find yourself caught in anxiety, trauma, addiction, or relationship difficulties. The question that interests me most isn't "What's wrong with you?" but "What happened, and how is it still shaping your life today?" Together, we'll make sense of those patterns, understand where they came from, and work toward resolving them at their roots so that meaningful, lasting change becomes possible.

Healing is a return to wholeness, which requires us to pause, reflect and go inward. When we take a step back and observe ourselves - our thinking, our emotions, our everyday behaviours - we put ourselves in a position of power. We become self-aware, which gives us the opportunity to reorganize, reframe and choose different responses to life. Whether you simply need someone to talk to - to better explore and unpack your current or past circumstances - or whether you are actively wanting to change patterns that may be limiting you in your life, my approach can be of great value to you.

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.
