Supporting the One You Love

Where do I turn?

Are you worried about a young person in your life and wondering how to reach them,
understand them or help them through what they’re experiencing?

Parenting and supporting preteens, teenagers and young adults today can feel like
navigating a tsunami of expectations, pressures and information. Social media, online
relationships, constant comparison, friendship dynamics and the ripple effects of what
happens online can follow young people long after they’ve put their phones down.

Add school pressures, anxiety, big emotions, changing relationships, ADHD and the
challenges of figuring out who they are, and it can feel overwhelming for young people
and the people who love them.

How do I connect?

Perhaps you’ve noticed changes in their mood, confidence, friendships or behaviour.
Maybe you’ve tried different ways to help, but you’re not sure what’s working anymore.
You might have questions, worries or simply a feeling that something isn’t quite right.
I want you to know that there is a place for you, too.

Strenth-Based Approach

I’m passionate about supporting young people and the families who love them. My
approach is collaborative, curious, compassionate and strengths-based. I believe
connection comes before change, and that young people need to feel seen, heard and
understood rather than feeling they need to be fixed.

Safe Place

I also believe parents, grandparents and caregivers deserve a safe, supportive space to
share their worries, questions and vulnerabilities without judgment. We can explore
what’s happening, better understand your young person’s needs and consider ways to
strengthen your relationship and connection.

Develop skills and tools to navigate life's challenges

When working with young people, I bring curiosity, creativity and a little fun into the
therapeutic process, creating opportunities for them to feel comfortable being
themselves, discover their strengths and develop tools to navigate life’s challenges.
You don’t have to have all the answers. Sometimes the first step is simply having
someone listen, understand and help you find a way forward.
