Is Your Child Struggling to Navigate Life's Challenges?

Between school stress, social pressures, and figuring out who they are, being young today isn’t easy. Youth counselling offers a safe, judgment-free space where kids & teens can explore their emotions, build coping skills, and grow into their best selves.

Frequently Asked

Many teens initially resist counselling because they expect judgment or lectures. I focus on creating a safe, non-judgmental space where teens feel heard and empowered. My approach is collaborative, not directive, which helps even reluctant teens feel comfortable opening up.
 

While I prioritize your confidentiality, I believe parents play a crucial role in the healing of their children/teens. We’ll discuss how you can best support your teen, and I may suggest family sessions when appropriate. I’ll also provide guidance on communication strategies.

Standard sessions are 50 minutes, though I also offer extended 90-minute sessions if you feel you’d benefit from more time. Most clients begin with weekly or biweekly sessions, but frequency can be adjusted based on your needs and comfort.

My approach is integrative and client-centered, drawing primarily from evidence-based practices like Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), and trauma-informed care. I tailor our work to meet your unique goals, personality, and pace.

Progress looks different for everyone, but common signs include improved mood, better communication at home, increased self-awareness, and developing healthy coping strategies. We’ll regularly check in about goals and progress together.

I support individuals navigating a wide range of challenges, with a focus on:

  • Trauma

  • Depression and anxiety

  • Relationship challenges

  • Life transitions

  • Grief and loss

  • Self-esteem

  • Boundaries

  • Sports performance and mental resilience

Yes, with important exceptions. I maintain strict confidentiality unless there are concerns about your teen’s safety or the safety of others. I’ll always discuss these boundaries clearly with both you and your teen from the start.

Yes! I offer both in-person and secure virtual sessions to support flexibility and accessibility. Whether you prefer to meet from the comfort of your home or face-to-face, we can find what works best for you.
 

From Those I’ve Worked With...

Working with you has been a grounding and empowering experience. Your professionalism, empathy, and insight created a space where I feel I can open up, reflect, and move forward with some more clarity after each visit. You have a unique ability to listen deeply and guide with compassion—something I genuinely value and appreciate.

C.G.

I’ve found our work together to be both supportive and transformative. Your ability to hold space with genuine care and non-judgment has allowed me to open up in ways I didn’t expect. I always leave with a bit more clarity, feeling heard and understood in a way that really matters.

A.D.

Meeting with you has been incredibly reassuring and eye-opening. You bring a calm, thoughtful presence that makes it easy to share and explore what I’m going through. Each session leaves me feeling more centered and aware, and I truly appreciate the gentle guidance and depth you bring to our conversations.
