    Individual Counselling for Teens

    Being a teenager today can feel overwhelming. Between school pressures, friendships, family expectations, and social media, many teens experience anxiety, overthinking, and emotions that feel “too big” to handle alone.

    I support teens with:

    Anxiety and stress management
    Overthinking and perfectionism
    Self-esteem and confidence
    Navigating friendships, relationships, and family challenges
    Coping with overwhelming or confusing emotions

    In our sessions, we primarily use Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), a proven approach that helps teens understand how their thoughts, feelings, and actions are connected. Together, we’ll build practical skills to manage anxious thoughts, calm the nervous system, and feel more confident navigating daily life. My approach is warm, validating, and collaborative. Teens leave our sessions not only feeling understood, but also equipped with tools they can use right away.

    Individual Counselling for Young Adults

    Young adulthood often comes with uncertainty and change. You may be managing school, work, relationships, or big decisions about the future — all while feeling pressure to “have it all figured out.” This can lead to anxiety, self-doubt, or feeling overwhelmed.

    I work with young adults who want to:

    Manage anxiety, worry, stress, overwhelm, and overthinking
    Build self-confidence and resilience
    Improve relationships
    Navigate life transitions (school, career, independence)
    Find clarity in their goals and direction

    In our sessions, we’ll use Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and other evidence-based tools to explore unhelpful thought patterns, manage anxious feelings, and develop strategies for moving forward with more confidence and calm. My goal is to create a supportive space where you can explore challenges without judgment, and leave each session with practical strategies to create meaningful change in your everyday life.

    Parent/Caregiver Support and Coaching

    When a child or teen is struggling with their mental health, parents often feel helpless or unsure how to support them. The truth is: you don’t have to do this alone — and you play an essential role in your child’s healing. I offer parent and caregiver coaching based on Emotion-Focused Family Therapy (EFFT), a therapeutic approach rooted in a deep and unwavering belief in the healing power of families.

    Together, we’ll focus on:

    Learning how to respond to your child’s big emotions (like worry, hopelessness, or anger) in ways that foster connection and healing.

    Building practical skills for addressing unhelpful behaviours while maintaining empathy and understanding.

    Strengthening your relationship with your child through emotional support and connection.

    Caring for yourself as you care for your child, so you feel supported and show up with calm, confidence and compassion.

    My goal is that you will leave sessions with practical strategies you can begin using right away, and with greater confidence and hope in your ability to support your child.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • I provide online counselling for teens, young adults, and parents across British Columbia.

  • I primarily use Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) with teens and young adults, helping them notice unhelpful thought patterns and develop practical coping strategies. For parents and caregivers, I use Emotion-Focused Family Therapy (EFFT), a research-based approach that strengthens family relationships and empowers parents to support their child’s emotional growth. I also incorporate trauma-informed practices, Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT) skills, and emotion-focused techniques when needed. We’ll decide together what approach best fits your needs.

  • Yes, all sessions are offered virtually by secure video. This makes therapy accessible from the comfort of your home, anywhere in BC.

  • Each session is a supportive, non-judgmental space. We’ll work together to explore your challenges, validate your experiences, and build practical tools for managing anxiety, emotions, relationships, and daily stressors. You will leave sessions feeling heard, understood, and equipped with practical strategies.

  • Yes, I offer a free 15-minute consultation so we can connect, discuss your goals, and see if my approach feels like a good fit.

  • The length of counselling really depends on your unique needs and goals. Many people start to notice positive changes within the first few sessions—whether that’s feeling calmer, having new tools, or gaining a clearer perspective on challenges. Some clients come for short-term support around a specific concern, while others find ongoing counselling helpful for continued growth and support. Together, we’ll decide on a plan that feels right for you.

  • Yes! I offer both individual counselling for teens/young adults and parent coaching/support for caregivers who want tools and strategies to support their child.

  • Yes! I offer a free 2-hour virtual workshop called “Emotion Coaching: Emotional Support Skills for Parents.” Parents and caregivers will learn how to support their child’s mental health, respond to strong emotions, and strengthen their relationship with practical, actionable skills. Please visit the Parent Workshop page to sign up!

  • Yes. What you share in counselling is kept private and confidential. As a Registered Clinical Counsellor in British Columbia, I follow strict professional and ethical guidelines to protect your privacy. The only exceptions are rare situations where safety is a concern (such as risk of harm to yourself or others), and I would always discuss these limits with you. Many young people and parents find relief in knowing therapy is a safe space where they can be open and honest without fear of judgment.

  • Individual 50-minute sessions are $175. Parent/caregiver support and coaching 50-minute sessions are $190.

  • Many extended health plans include coverage for counselling services provided by Registered Clinical Counsellors. Please inquire with your extended health provider about your options for coverage. I do not provide direct billing to insurance providers.

  • If, for any reason, you need to cancel a session, please use the online booking tool to cancel or reschedule the appointment at least 24 hours in advance.  Session times are set aside for you and it is often challenging to fill an opening on short notice, therefore cancellations with less than 24 hours notice or no shows will result in full session fees being charged.

  • You can start by booking a first session using the online booking tool, or by booking a free 15-minute consultation. After that, we’ll schedule regular 50-minute online sessions designed to provide compassionate support and practical tools for lasting change.
