Anxiety and teenagers
Therapy for teens in Calgary

My process is simple yet effective. It all starts with building relationship.

It can be difficult for children to open up about their lives. I will walk alongside you and your child, at a pace that you set, to ensure comfortability and success. I can’t promise it will be easy but I know it will be worth it. By providing you with meaningful tools, strategies and feedback, your goals can be met and we will have a little fun and share some laughs along the way.

If you are an adult seeking support separate from a child or teen, I’m here to help.

Beyond my specialty with children and adolescents, I also love working with adults. Together we will work in a safe and empathic environment to establish goals and bring clarity during times of transition or change. Please click below to set up a consultation call or a session.

How We Heal

I practice from a strengths-based, trauma-informed lens. I also draw from a cognitive-behavioural framework and often help children and parents find solutions to difficult behaviours and life challenges.

So what does this mean for you and your family?

  • Founded on the belief that each person, no matter their challenges or experiences, has unique strengths that can support them throughout their life. In therapy we work together to uncover those strengths, while also acknowledging events that may have had significant influence on current behaviours to reframe the way you view yourself and shift the focus back to what you do well.

  • Focusses on the here-and-now and the problems that come up in day-to-day life. CBT helps individuals to examine how you make sense of what is happening around you and how these perceptions affect the way you feel. During therapy we will work collaboratively to learn to identify, challenge, and change the thoughts, attitudes, and beliefs that can be related to emotional and behavioural reactions that are causing difficulty.

  • A short-term, goal-focused, evidence-based therapeutic approach, which helps clients change by constructing solutions rather than focusing on problems. It is a positive emotion eliciting, future-oriented vehicle allowing for formulating, achieving, and sustaining desired change.
