Hello and welcome! It might be difficult to put into words what you’re looking for in therapy- that is a valid starting place, and one I’m personally familiar with. Maybe you feel like you’re meeting external expectations and are ‘getting things done’, but masking an internal experience that’s more complex, leaving you feeling exhausted, unseen, and stuck. Perhaps you struggle with serving the needs of others first and use unhelpful habits to cope with emotions and get through day-to-day. Things don’t have to reach a boiling point before you seek support or prioritize your well-being.

We all need somebody! Doing life comes with celebrating joys, navigating challenges, embracing changes and through all these milestones and phases, we all need someone. Regardless of the phase you are in life: adapting to life after a medical or mental health diagnosis, navigating new relationships, embracing the pain that comes with grieving, exploring your faith and spirituality, setting those boundaries everyone keeps preaching about and so much more, therapy can offer the space to process your thoughts, explore your feelings and gain the insight you need in living the life you desire and deserve. Let's work together

In life and love, I believe we do the best that we can. I also believe in our capacity to learn and grow, heal and change - a worthwhile process I am active to encourage. We all have experiences or relationships that are complex and add stress to our lives. We do not all choose to explore or understand our experiences and relationships and the impact they have, instead often living with a level of stress that is simply physically and emotionally unsustainable. Times of transition or change bring additional stress and can activate our deepest vulnerabilities.

I would love to work alongside a client who has experienced or is experiencing some struggles and now feels ready to create something different for themselves. Whether that be through acceptance, change, or simply creating a deeper understanding, a client who is open to exploring what their personal healing journey means to them would be a great fit for the therapeutic approaches I find most enjoyable and effective.

As humans, at some point we are going to experience pain and suffering. Fortunately, whether you struggle individually with anxiety and depression, or perhaps your relationship is in constant turmoil for any number of reasons, therapy can be healing and transformative. Service providers, such as nurses, teachers, 1st responders, child welfare and mental health workers are all highly susceptible to secondary trauma, compassion fatigue, and burnout. Caring for people contending with serious illness, pain, trauma, and loss can affect one's own health, career, and relationships.

One of the hardest things to say/admit is 'I/we need help'. It takes courage, openness, trust and self-awareness, which can be difficult to foster on our own. Whether you need tools for symptom management (anxiety, depression, nervous system dysregulation, people pleasing behaviours, trauma responses, addictions, relational distress) or you want to deep dive into past experiences for better understanding and meaning, we can work towards developing a treatment plan that helps you create the life you want going forward. Develop the "life hacks" you need to bounce back from challenges with grace and grit!

I have always believed that people are the experts in their own lives and have always been interested in listening to others' stories of their lives. Therapy can help us learn to connect with ourselves as well as with others and find meaning, joy and acceptance in our lives. Therapy can help us shine light into the dark corners of ourselves; to explore thoughts and feelings that we may have not noticed or have perhaps avoided in the past.

People come to therapy when they are ready for life to feel different. From my own lived experiences, I understand that the idea of seeking support can be intimidating. It takes courage to reach out, and the act of arriving here on this page is a bold first step. I also know that in time we can heal, and learn to include our painful experiences as one part of our life’s journey. My approach to counselling is client-centered, which means that while the therapeutic process is collaborative, ultimately you are in control of what is and is not discussed in your sessions.

Sometimes we need to learn new skills to help us cope. Sometimes we need help figuring out how what has happened to us affects how we think, feel and behave. Sometimes we need help to heal from things we have done, or things that were done to us. You’re here because you think it might be time to talk to someone, too.

Is everyone in the Psychology Today Therapy Directory a licensed therapist?
Most Counsellors and Psychotherapists listed in the directory are certified by one of the main professional associations, mainly the Canadian Counselling and Psychotherapy Association (CCPA), and will have a Certified Canadian Counsellor (CCC) designation with their name. Social Workers listed in the directory must be registered members of the college specific to their province. To be listed in the directory, Psychologists must be registered with the psychological college specific to their province or territory.
Providers whose professional membership or primary credential has been verified by Psychology Today are signified by a “Verified” symbol. Given the considerable variation in professional regulation and prerequisites across Canadian provinces, some providers may possess significant professional qualifications without necessarily holding professional memberships or being obliged to acquire them. As a result, they may be selectively included without the "Verified" seal.

What’s the difference between a psychologist, a therapist, and a counsellor?
Psychologists, counsellors, psychotherapists and social workers can all provide counselling or talking therapy and have credentials and supervised, practical experience that enable them to do so in Canada.
Psychologists have a master's and/or doctoral degree and have passed both written and oral exams. Psychologists are able to complete mental health assessments and provide diagnostic information to clients as well as provide counselling therapy or psychotherapy. Counsellors and psychotherapists are expected to have a master's or doctoral degree in counselling psychology, social work, or a related mental health discipline and certification by a professional association, such as the Canadian Counselling and Psychotherapy Association. Registered Social Workers possess a Bachelor's or Master's degree in Social Work and where possible must be licensed or certified by the provincial government and/or regulatory college.

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.
How much does therapy cost?
The cost of therapy depends on a number of variables, including location and the therapist’s experience and training. On average, the cost of a therapy session in Canada could be between $100 and $200. If you have insurance, the expense of mental health care is typically lower, but it varies based on your insurance plan details and whether you choose an in-network or out-of-network mental healthcare provider.
What are more affordable or low cost therapy solutions?
Many therapists offer sliding scale payments, usually on a limited number of slots, which consists in an agreement between the therapist and a client to pay a reduced rate. Therapists who provide such arrangements often consider the client's income or ability to pay, but the extent of the discount is ultimately at the therapist's discretion. Furthermore, while group therapy may have different goals and benefits compared to individual therapy, it can be a more affordable solution to address certain types of issues.
If you are struggling to access therapy due to budget constraints, you could also consider public funded mental health services. Some types of outpatient mental health services are covered by Medicare, provided these are performed by a licensed mental health professional in the provinces or territory you reside in and who accepts the assignment.

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.
Is online therapy a good option?
Therapy conducted online can be just as effective as in-person therapy, as long as there is a strong alliance between the client and the therapist. To find a therapist who provides telehealth services to clients in your area, click “Online Therapy” on the directory homepage and search by your city or town or your postal code.
Are therapy sessions confidential?
Professionals licensed by regulatory colleges and those certified by associations such as the Canadian Counselling and Psychotherapy Association are obligated to uphold client confidentiality unless there is a legal reason that requires them to disclose information. Confidentiality is a crucial part of the therapeutic relationship and only under specific circumstances, such as when there is the potential or known harm to the client or others, or a court order, will a therapist be obligated to break the agreement. These exceptions to the confidentiality agreement are usually discussed during the initial consultation.
