I really love to laugh and have fun; I believe that laughing until your belly hurts can be the best antidote to almost anything, especially hard things. Witnessing people in their most difficult, vulnerable and triumphant moments has helped me to connect to my own vulnerabilities so that I can help you build your courage and bravery to do the work of therapy. I am proud of the work that I do and proud that most clients tell me I am unlike other therapists; they describe me as a real person that cares a lot about the people I work with. Check out essentialpsychologicalservices.com for more information about me and how I can help.

I draw from modalities such as EMDR,
Trauma Focused
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Dialectical Behavioural Therapy, Solution Focused Therapy and Attachment based models.
Bravery is described as “courageous behaviour or character” and I truly believe that identifying a need for change and seeking out the support to do so is an act of bravery. As a therapist, I strive to develop genuine and non-judgemental therapeutic relationships. I practice from a holistic perspective using evidence-based approaches to provide my clients with the tools necessary to create meaningful change, improved emotional health and resiliency.

I am a Clinical Psychologist with over 10 years of experience in the public health system. Clients often come to me for help with depression, anxiety, relationship problems, or life transitions. Over time, we may explore deeper underlying issues, such as emotion suppression, relationship patterns, low self-esteem, or “unfinished business” from the past. I also have a great deal of experience with trauma-focused therapy- many of my clients struggle with PTSD. My goal is to help my clients develop better self-awareness, understand their difficulties, recognize their strengths, and learn ways to live more effective, meaningful lives.

For every person that reaches out when they need help there is someone who will try and work things out themselves because that's what they've always done. They're usually the ones that everyone else goes to for advice or support. Some people don't feel counselling or therapy is for them. And that's perfectly ok. Maybe it's just not their "thing" or a previous experience with therapy simply wasn’t what they’d hoped for.

I offer counselling to introverted teens and adults. For many of my clients, they struggle with high anxiety, perfectionism, overworking on school/work projects, and struggle socially. And for those that are more sensitive, they can be overcome with strong emotions of sadness and overwhelm. A common struggle is that they want better relationships but often feel awkward or out of place when with others. The consequence is that they withdraw from others.

Therapy may feel daunting and challenging step. I value and respect those who are willing to take the risk of seeking help. With this in mind, my role is to help clients understand the root cause of what has been challenging them. My approach uses a trauma-informed, client-centered approach; it is important for me to create a place where clients feel they are safe and free from judgment.

If you are reading this, you may be curious if therapy would be helpful for you. Maybe you’re feeling overwhelmed, disconnected, or just not yourself. Therapy can help when struggling with these and other mental health challenges that may be significantly impacting your relationships with yourselves and others

It is important as women and mothers we take the steps to care for ourselves, as we are being pulled in many directions throughout the day. As a parent, I was young, unprepared, and unsupported in challenges that I faced. This has led to my interest in supporting women and parents in their journey. I strive to empower all women to recognize the expectations that society places are not all attainable. You cannot be all of the things, all of the time, and it is okay to slow down and take care of you. I also specialize in working with teens and young adults who are struggling with pieces in life and transitioning to adulthood.

In our practice, we support people in reducing or eliminating their chronic pain utilizing Pain Reprocessing Therapy (PRT) and other mind-body approaches. Neuroplastic pain (also called TMS or Mind-Body Syndrome) is a common form of chronic pain that is not fully structurally caused, but occurs in the brain due to learned neural pathways and your emotional state. Neuroplastic pain can present as back pain, neck pain, pelvic pain, fibromyalgia, headaches, or migraines. People often worry their pain is all in their heads, but fMRI studies have found that neuroplastic pain is real and occurs in the brain.

Is online therapy a good option?

What’s the difference between a psychologist, a therapist, and a counselor?
Therapists, psychologists, and counselors are all licensed mental health professionals. In Canada, psychologists have earned a doctoral degree. The terms “therapist” and “counselor” are used somewhat interchangeably, but generally therapists offer longer-term, mental health care, while counselors offer shorter-term care that may focus on one domain, such as marriage, career, or academic challenges.
What type of therapist is right for me?
Clients should consider factors such as insurance coverage and their primary reason(s) for seeking therapy to determine the type of professional best suited to their needs. Someone struggling with mental health challenges such as depression or anxiety, for example, may wish to seek out a clinical psychologist, psychologist or therapist, while someone navigating career obstacles or marital upheaval may benefit from seeing a counselor who can offer short-term, targeted support.
Is everyone in the Psychology Today Therapy Directory a licensed therapist?
The Psychology Today directory lists providers who offer legitimate mental health services to the public, including psychologists, psychiatrists, social workers, and counselors. Many have been licensed by the country or province where they practice; providers whose license or primary credential has been verified by Psychology Today are signified by a “Verified” symbol. Some clinicians or organizations provide services for which their state or country does not offer licenses, such as pastoral counseling. They may be selectively included without the “Verified” seal.
What type of therapy is right for me?
The type of therapy best suited to a particular individual depends on several factors, including their primary reason for seeking therapy, their preferred timeline (some therapy types last for a set number of sessions, while others are open-ended), and their personality and preferences—some may prefer a more structured approach. For many individuals, multiple types of therapy could provide a good fit.
Is online therapy cheaper than in-person therapy?
Many therapists charge the same amount for online therapy as they do for in-person therapy—though clients may still find this cost-effective if it cuts down on their transportation costs. Health insurance plans often offer equivalent coverage for online and in-person therapy; indeed, in many places, they are legally required to do so. Text-based or on-demand therapy apps may be cheaper than traditional one-on-one psychotherapy; however, the practice may be less effective and is not likely to be covered by insurance.
How much does therapy cost?
Some forms of mental health treatment (for example, seeing a psychiatrist, or seeing a psychologist in a government-funded hospital) are free under provincial health plans. Canadians who seek private counseling can typically expect to pay an average of $150 per session, although the actual price generally ranges between $100 and $3200 per session, depending on their location and the type of provider they select. Workplace benefits or private insurance plans often provide an annual counselling allowance, and some therapists offer sliding scale fees to clients who cannot pay full price.
