I founded Prioritize Wellness with a clear vision: to create a therapy clinic designed specifically for children, teens, young adults, and families. I wanted the space itself to feel different from what people might picture when they think of a traditional mental health setting.

 

Our newly renovated clinic was intentionally designed to feel warm, modern, comfortable, and welcoming — a space where young people can settle in and feel at ease from the moment they walk through the door. From our child-friendly therapy spaces and play-based resources to rooms designed with teens and young adults in mind, every detail was chosen to make coming to therapy feel a little less clinical and a lot more comfortable.

 

As Founder and Clinical Director, my role now extends beyond my own clinical work. I oversee the practice and work closely with our team to maintain a high standard of care while ensuring that families are thoughtfully matched with a therapist who fits their needs, goals, and personality.

 

In my own practice, I primarily work with pre-teens, teens, and young adults, while involving parents and families when appropriate. I recognize that meaningful change for a young person often means understanding and supporting the bigger picture around them. Above all, I want clients to feel like they can show up as themselves. Therapy can involve difficult conversations and meaningful challenges, but it can also include humour, connection, and moments clients genuinely look forward to. My goal is to create a space where clients feel understood, appropriately challenged, and supported as they work toward meaningful and lasting change.
