I know that it takes a lot of courage to reach out for help at times when we feel distressed, overwhelmed, vulnerable, confused, wrought with sadness, shame, hurt, guilt, intense worry... Some of us have been told or made feel that we do not deserve better, or that we are not good enough, or smart enough, or thin enough, or strong enough, or funny enough... Sometimes we seek refuge in food, alcohol, drugs, sex, or self-harm to cope with the belief that we can never feel differently about ourselves or the world.

You work with teenagers?!? is something I hear a lot. Do you remember the agony of being a teen? Feeling like you should have more choices than you do, and being almost as terrified of being called out as you were of being ignored? For the youth of today it's only gotten harder. Hi, my name is Brianna and I am a clinical counsellor specializing in youth ages 13 to 26, as well as parent-youth relationships. If you are a young person struggling with relationships, anxiety, depression, gender identity, or anything else, I'd like to listen. If you are a parent seeking to understand and communicate better with your child, I can help.

Clients who enter into therapy with me will find themselves entering into a warm and safe environment where they feel respected, valued and heard. Asking for help isn't easy. I always admire the courage it takes for a person or couple to decide to enter into the counselling process. People often feel vulnerable and anxious when they come to counselling for the first time and my goal is to help you feel safe and cared for, and to know that you're not alone. My belief about the therapy process is that in order to heal and grow, we need to "feel felt" - to feel genuine concern and understanding in a non-judgemental environment.

I do not believe that there is a single approach to counselling. I like to collaborate with clients to create a personalized treatment plan and "toolkit" of coping mechanisms. My goal as a therapist is to lead with compassion and genuineness; I believe in teamwork where clients guide me through their life experiences and I offer gentle and honest feedback, explaining the rationale behind suggested interventions. I feel that this balance of warmth, direction, and authenticity contributes to a strong working relationship.
