Therapy for Teens & Tweens

Let’s be real—being a teen is a wild ride.
Your brain is growing, your body’s changing, your relationships are shifting, and the world can feel like… a lot. Add to that the pressure to figure out who you are, who you want to be, and how to deal with stress, identity, school, family, and the state of literally everything? Yeah, no wonder things can feel overwhelming.

 

Whether you're feeling anxious, sad, shut down, fired up, or just so done, you don’t have to go through it alone.

 

A Safe Space to Be You (All of You)

This is a space where you get to:

  • Say what you really feel (no judgment here).

  • Talk about things that might feel awkward or confusing—like identity, body changes, friendships, big feelings, or family stuff.

  • Ask questions, feel your feelings, and grow into your weird, brilliant, one-of-a-kind self.

 

You don’t need to have it all figured out. In fact, this is the time of life where no one really does—and that’s okay.

 

Gender-Diverse, Neurodiverse, and Proudly Anti-Oppressive

I work with teens of all genders, sexualities, and neurotypes. Whether you're questioning your identity, exploring your pronouns, or just want someone who won't make assumptions—you're safe here.

​

This space is queer-affirming, trans-celebrating, and radically inclusive.
I bring an anti-oppressive lens to everything I do. That means we talk openly about the systems that affect your life—racism, ableism, gender norms, colonialism, fatphobia—and how they show up in your world, your body, and your emotions.

 

You are not the problem. Sometimes the world is just messed up—and therapy can be a space to find your power, your truth, and your voice inside of it all. We’ll go at your pace. Some days we might talk, and some days we might draw, move, journal, make music, or embrace silence. You get to be you here—however that looks.

 

What We Might Work On Together

Every teen is different, but here are a few things we might explore:

  • Stress, anxiety, or panic

  • Depression, numbness, or feeling stuck

  • Gender identity & sexual orientation

  • Friendship drama or social anxiety

  • ADHD, executive functioning, or school overwhelm

  • Family conflict or feeling misunderstood at home

  • Big life changes (like divorce, grief, or moving)

  • Body image, self-esteem, and self-compassion

  • Finding your voice + learning how to set boundaries

​

Real Talk

You don’t have to act like you’re fine when you’re not.
You don’t have to pretend to be someone else to be accepted.
You don’t have to explain why things feel hard.

I get it. And I’m here to listen, support, and walk with you while you figure it all out—one messy, beautiful step at a time.

 

Ready When You Are

If you're a teen reading this and thinking “wait… this sounds like it might actually not suck?”—awesome. I’d love to meet you.

 

If you're a parent or caregiver hoping to support a teen through a tricky chapter—I’ve got you, too. Let’s work together to create a space where your teen feels respected, safe, and truly seen. Come as you are. No pressure, no judgment, just support.

​

Let’s build something real together.

I live and practice on the traditional territory of many nations, including the Mississaugas of the Credit, the Anishinaabeg, the Chippewa, the Haudenosaunee, and the Wendat peoples, in what is traditionally called Tkaronto, covered by Treaty 13 with the Mississaugas of the Credit.

 

This land has long been a place of meeting and care for many Indigenous communities.I acknowledge the ongoing presence and stewardship of Indigenous peoples, and the lasting impacts of colonization and systemic violence.

 

As a settler and uninvited guest, I commit to learning, unlearning, and working in solidarity toward justice, healing, and land back. I offer gratitude to the First Peoples for their teachings, and strive to honour their wisdom.​​
