The personal and familial challenges I encountered ignited within me a deep deep passion for supporting individuals, particularly pre-teens, teens, and young adults, through life’s transitions and challenges.

With a Master’s in Social Work, and over 8 years of direct clinical experience, I am an individual therapist, completing consultations, comprehensive assessments and therapy with pre-teens, teens, and adults, struggling with anxiety, depression, academic
performance/attendance, anger, interpersonal trauma, grief, addiction, relationship issues and parental separation/divorce.

I understand that navigating life’s complexities can be overwhelming, especially for young individuals facing transitions or dealing with mental health concerns. That’s why I am committed to providing a safe, non-
judgmental space where clients can explore their thoughts, feelings, and experiences openly. Together, we will work towards fostering resilience, building coping skills, and empowering you to lead a fulfilling and meaningful life.

Therapy for teens and young adults can have a lasting effect on how they view the world, offer comfort in a time of emotional and physical challenges, and give them a space to say the things that are making them feel hurt, disconnected, and alone in the world.

As a Registered Social Worker, my areas of focus include:
Teen Therapy | Self-Esteem Issues | Anxiety Issues for Teens and Adults | Childhood Trauma | School Stressors | General Relationship Issues.

If you’re ready to get started, I always offer a 20-minute consult to see if we are a good fit. I’d love to help you, or a member of your family get the help they need to live better.

Dogs, dancing, travelling, and spending time with my family and friends are all staples in my life. I resonate with the quote, “The only way to do great work is to love what you do.” – Steve Jobs
