Clarity. Confidence. Connection — Together.

​Healthy Routes integrates counselling with coaching

for teens, young adults, and parents navigating anxiety,

ADHD, addiction, stress and overwhelm.

 

Support isn’t just talked about -it’s practiced.​

"Healthy Routes helped us be able to talk to our daughter again without intense fighting and screaming. It's like we have a whole new relationship"

Healthy Routes: 

The Missing Gap Families Need

Support is often spread across systems, with counselling, coaching, and school support sitting in separate lanes.

 

This is the missing link!

One place that connects talk, emotions, and skill-building, so support translates into real-life change. A clear, supportive place for teens, young adults, and parents to find clarity, practical tools, and direction.

"Personalized. Practical. Proven."

My work is built around your family, not a formula.

 

I take a holistic approach —listening carefully, supporting and counselling through what’s hard, and teaching skills you can practice between sessions. 

 

Together, we spot the patterns, clear what’s in the way, and build a plan that fits real life.

Clear tools. Steady support. Progress you can feel.

About the Author

Struggle is part of life. What changes everything is having the right support and tools to move through it. My work is shaped by lived experience and a deep belief that people can grow when they’re met with understanding, practical strategies, and steady encouragement.

 

I wrote Not Today, Frank! to share real-world guidance that helps people feel more grounded day to day. In my work, I support teens, young adults, and families in building lasting confidence, emotional strength, and healthier ways forward. If this feels like the right fit, you’re in the right place.

This book is exactly where to start when you’re searching for ways to better support your teen and young adult.

About the e-book / paperback

Growing up is harder than it looks.
Big emotions. Self-doubt. Pressure to have it all figured out without clear steps to get there.


Not Today, Frank offers practical tools and simple steps you can actually use, plus QR codes that link to short videos from me to help you put it into practice. It supports teens, young adults, and parents in understanding emotions, handling tough thoughts, and rebuilding confidence when life feels off.


If you’re looking for a practical starting point for yourself or someone you care about, this is the book for you!
