My practice stands out with a genuine passion for teen development, blending empathetic listening with evidence-based techniques.
Adolescence is a time of emotional growth and self-discovery, where teens grapple with identity formation, relationships, and managing overwhelming emotions like insecurity, anxiety, and impulsivity. My approach is anchored in fostering a strong therapeutic alliance with each client, creating a space where they feel heard, understood, and supported. By addressing issues early on and providing guidance through this critical period of development, I aim to equip teens with the tools they need to thrive socially, academically, and emotionally.

While in my care, you feel warmth and connection. I have come to believe that the childhood and adolescent years in a person’s life go a long way to defining who they are and what they go on to do in their future. I am constantly learning about myself and seeking growth in my personal and professional life, which fuels my drive to help children and families in distress. My absolute love and adoration for children plays a big part in my decisions. I have a genuine passion for seeing the happiness within people and I believe that those who are genuinely happy with who they go on to spread authentic happiness to others.

Is your teen struggling with stress, anxiety and other emotions that are impacting their well-being, relationships and academic goals? Do you and your teen feel overwhelmed and frustrated just trying to get through the day? The post Covid landscape has lead to teens and young adults struggling more then ever with stress and anxiety, low motivation, and disconnection; making it difficult for teens to enjoy life and overwhelming for those who love and care for them. I believe there is a path forward.

Then we move onto to the issues that the eating disorder has created in the family, and the issues of dealing with a growing and healthy adolescent.
As a Registered Psychologist, I work from a positive place, seeing disordered behaviours as ways of coping that create problems as well as solves them. I work collaboratively with my clients to identify their goals and desires. We may use a motivational approach at first, if appropriate. Then we may focus on barriers to recovery, dysfunctional thinking, practical strategies for change, and past painful experiences or trauma, if relevant, using relationship-based, cognitive behaviour therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, and emotion focused approaches. At the end of our session, I write my notes in the form of a letter to share.

If you're looking for a therapist who can help you, your child, or teen find their voice and build resilience, I invite you to reach out to me.
I have a passion for helping children, teens, and young adults navigate life's challenges. My approach is rooted in psychoanalytic theory, which allows me to delve deep into the unconscious mind to uncover the root causes of emotional distress. However, I also believe that creativity can be a powerful tool in therapy, which is why I incorporate art, play, and other expressive techniques into my work. Additionally, I draw on a range of other therapeutic modalities, including cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) and mindfulness, to meet the unique needs of each client.

Teen Counsellors
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.
