How I help teens
I specialize in adolescent therapy, using evidence-based approaches like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Internal Family Systems (IFS), and mindfulness techniques. These methods help teens manage stress, navigate relationships, and develop healthy coping skills. My goal is to meet your teen where they are, offering guidance and support as they work through their challenges. Teens often find it easy to connect with me because I provide a non-judgmental, understanding space where they feel heard and valued.
Common issues teens face
Every teen is different, but some common struggles I help with include:
Anxiety and depression
Low self-esteem and self-worth
Academic stress and school pressures
Social anxiety and peer relationships
Family conflict and communication breakdowns
Trauma and PTSD
Self-harm and suicidal thoughts
Identity, self-discovery, and self-acceptance
Why early support matters
I believe in the power of early intervention. Addressing emotional struggles now can prevent deeper issues from taking hold in adulthood. Therapy gives teens the tools to regulate their emotions, express themselves in healthy ways, and develop problem-solving skills that will serve them for a lifetime.
Why work with me?
As a psychotherapist specializing in mindfulness, Internal Family Systems (IFS), and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), I take a holistic and compassionate approach to healing. I tailor each session to meet your unique needs, helping you reconnect with yourself and navigate life’s challenges with greater ease.

ife can be challenging, and sometimes we all need a little extra support. As a psychotherapist, I offer a safe, non-judgmental space where you can explore what’s going on in your life, understand yourself more deeply, and start creating meaningful change.
Whether you're feeling overwhelmed, anxious, stuck, or navigating a big life transition, I’m here to help you work through it — at your pace. Together, we’ll look at the patterns, emotions, and thoughts that might be holding you back and build tools to help you feel more grounded, clear, and confident.
You don’t have to wait for a crisis to start therapy. Many of my clients come in simply wanting to feel better, grow personally, or improve their relationships.
-
Yes! I offer online therapy through a secure, confidential video platform. It’s a convenient option that lets you connect from the comfort of your own space — whether at home, at work, or on the go.
Online sessions are available to clients physically located in Ontario, where I am registered and licensed to practice.
If you live in another province or territory in Canada, I may be able to work with you if you’re located in an area where psychotherapy is not currently regulated. These include:
British Columbia, Alberta, Saskatchewan, Manitoba, Newfoundland and Labrador, Yukon, Northwest Territories, and Nunavut.
If you're unsure whether you're eligible for therapy with me based on your location, feel free to reach out — I'm happy to help you check!

Most individual therapy sessions are 50 minutes long, giving us focused time to explore what’s going on and work on your goals at a steady, comfortable pace.
The initial session is a 90-minute intake, which gives us extra time to get to know each other, go over your history, and start building a plan that’s right for you.
That said, sometimes sessions naturally run a bit over — especially if something important is coming up or we’re in the middle of a meaningful breakthrough. I try to leave space for that when possible, so we’re not cutting something valuable short.
-
Yes — many extended health benefits plans in Canada cover sessions with a Registered Psychotherapist (RP), and I’m also covered under plans that include services provided by a Psychologist.
Coverage can vary depending on your specific plan, so it’s a good idea to check directly with your insurance provider. You can ask if your plan covers:
A Registered Psychotherapist in Ontario
Services billed under a supervising Psychologist
I’ll provide detailed receipts after each session that you can use to submit for reimbursement if your plan includes either.
If you're not sure what to ask, I’m happy to help guide you through checking your benefits.
-
The first session is a 90-minute intake, where we’ll take time to get to know each other, talk about what brought you to therapy, and explore what you'd like to get out of our work together.
I’ll ask some questions about your background, current concerns, and any past experiences with therapy or mental health — but there’s no pressure to share anything you’re not ready for. This session is really about setting the foundation and making sure you feel safe, heard, and supported.
We’ll also begin to identify your goals for therapy — whether that’s improving your mood, navigating a life change, understanding yourself more deeply, or something else entirely. These goals will help guide our work and give us a sense of direction.
By the end of the session, we’ll talk about next steps and shape a plan that feels right for you.
