REGISTERED PSYCHOTHERAPIST

I aim to strike a balance between finding effective strategies for symptom relief in the short term while working towards a greater understanding of self in the long term. In my experience, the more I follow my curiosity about my client’s lives, the more we can uncover together. I have always considered it an honour that others would choose to share aspects of themselves with me and would be happy to have the chance to collaborate with you.

REGISTERED PSYCHOTHERAPIST

I work with clients aged 13 to 30 with presenting concerns related to anxiety, body image, eating disorders, perfectionism, self-esteem, and societal pressures. I utilize a person-centred and strength-based approach to help clients implement change and gain confidence. I draw primarily from Narrative Therapy while integrating aspects of Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT), Emotion-Focused Therapy, Feminist Therapy, and Internal Family Systems. But what do all these modalities and presenting concerns mean…?

For Parents and Caregivers

It’s common for teens to feel unsure about starting therapy; many worry about being judged or getting in trouble. Our clinicians work collaboratively with teens so they feel heard, respected, and in control of their own therapy process.

For Teens Visiting This Page

If you’re feeling stressed, anxious, sad, or just “not like yourself,” talking to someone who isn’t a parent, teacher, or friend can really help. Teen therapists are trained to listen without judging you, help you figure out what you want, and give you tools to feel more in control.

You can let a parent or caregiver start the process, or you can reach out to us directly if that feels easier.
