The Heart Behind My Practice
Life gets messy, it’s inevitable — especially in the years between adolescence and adulthood. These are crucial years filled with really big feelings, majors decisions, and absolutely zero instructions on how to do any of it. Teens and young adults are trying to grow, cope, communicate, and figure out who they are… while parents are trying to support them, understand them, and not panic in the process.
I’ve seen how overwhelming this season can feel for everyone involved. I’ve also seen the relief that comes when someone finally says, “Oh, this actually makes sense,” or “It’s nice to know I’m not alone.” That moment — the exhale, the clarity, the softening — is why I do what I do.
I’m passionate about creating a space where people can talk honestly about what’s going on beneath the surface. A space where you can show up exactly as you are: confused, stressed, hopeful, exhausted, curious, or all of the above. I do this work because I genuinely believe that when people feel understood, supported, and given the right tools, they can move through even the most challenging chapters.
And I do it because growth doesn’t have to feel lonely or impossible. With the right mix of empathy, honesty, and a little humour, change is not only possible — it’s achievable, doable, and often surprisingly empowering.
I offer therapy for teens, young adults, and their parents, with a focus on self-esteem, identity, and relationship challenges. My work is grounded in psychodynamic and relational therapy, which helps uncover patterns from past and present relationships that affect how you see yourself and connect with others. Therapy with me is warm, collaborative, and conversational — a space where you can feel truly heard, gain clarity, and build confidence in yourself and your relationships.

Therapy for Teens
Adolescence can be a confusing and emotionally intense time. Many teens I work with are struggling with confidence, friendships, family relationships, identity, or feeling misunderstood.
Therapy for Young Adults
Young adulthood often comes with big questions about who you are, what you want, and where you’re going. Many young adults come to therapy feeling stuck, unsure of themselves, or repeating the same relationship patterns.
Parent Coaching
Parenting teens and young adults can feel confusing, emotional, and sometimes overwhelming — especially when your child is struggling and you’re not sure how to help.
