Women fulfill multiple roles including being daughters, professionals, partners, and caretakers; they also face competing expectations for these roles. This leads them striving to be their best for others, often at the expense of being their best for themselves. This creates stress, frustration, anxiety, and depression. My goal is to help you navigate these challenges so that you can tune into yourself to gain clarity on your goals including decreasing worrisome thoughts, feeling more engaged in day-to-day activities, and improving your relationships.

If you’ve ever googled, “How do I deal with anxiety?” or “I love my new baby, so why am I sad?”—you’re not alone. Feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or out of balance isn’t a sign of weakness; it’s a sign you’re ready for change. Sometimes, we get tangled in old stories about who we think we should be, shaped by family, society, or past experiences. I’m here to help you untangle those knots and reconnect with who you really are. Together, we’ll explore how to meet yourself with curiosity and kindness, not judgment, and create space for growth, healing, and self-compassion.

We all face a variety of challenges in life – some may be addressed independently, often times a little support would go a long way. As a registered social worker with clinical experience in counselling, my practice aims to be both therapeutic and practical – I start where the client is. We will work collaboratively to explore your goals, strengths, challenges and the systems which are contributory.

Do negative thoughts, feelings, and constant worries about the future control your mind and well-being? I work with individuals to help them explore what areas of their life may feel stuck. Together we look at what might be getting in the way of moving forward and living a more fulfilling life. One of the greatest joys I experience in my work is to see clients regain a sense of control over their lives and feel more confident in their ability to deal with life’s challenges.

I currently offer in-person and online sessions on weekends from 10am-2pm.
Therapy can be a daunting experience, kind of like climbing a mountain—you have an upward destination, but may not know exactly how to reach it and it can feel intimidating. As the counsellor hiking alongside you, I am here to provide emotional support when your feet grow cold or tired. I may remind you that you have untapped, inner strengths that you have yet to be made aware of. I may even point out things you can’t see—like an avalanche about to happen or an alternate path you could take. But eventually, on your own, you get better at climbing, and better at appreciating the journey.

Is online therapy as effective as in-person?

Numerous studies suggest that online therapy can be as effective as in-person therapy. However, further research is needed to determine if online therapy provides the same benefits across all client populations. Individuals with severe mental illnesses, such as schizophrenia or bipolar disorder, or those who may benefit from in-person check-ins, like those with eating disorders, may not experience the same level of benefit from online therapy. Nonetheless, the success of online therapy, much like in-person therapy, often hinges on the quality of the therapeutic relationship between the therapist and the client rather than the specific modality of therapy used.

What are the advantages and disadvantages of therapy conducted online?

One of the main advantages of online therapy is its convenience for both clients and therapists. It also allows clients who require specialised therapy to access a wider range of professionals than they could with only in-person sessions. Additionally, online therapy may be a more affordable option in some cases and often offers the same insurance benefits as in-person therapy. However, online therapy may not be suitable for everyone, especially those who value face-to-face interaction with a therapist. Therapists may find it more challenging to assess clients accurately in an online setting due to reduced nonverbal cues on camera. There is also the increased risk that disruptions caused by external factors, such as technology malfunctions, can hinder the therapy session. For these reasons, many therapists offer a "hybrid" therapeutic approach, alternating between seeing clients in-person and online.

Is online therapy suitable for children and adolescents?

Just like with adults, the accessibility and convenience of online therapy can greatly benefit children and adolescents. In fact, children and adolescents may be more accustomed to navigating online platforms than older adults, making online sessions feel more natural for them. Teens might also be interested in using additional online tools, such as therapist-recommended apps, as an adjunct to online therapy sessions. Apps for developing CBT skills, practicing mindfulness exercises, or tracking thoughts and moods can be helpful for teens receiving therapy. However, it's important to note that not all therapeutic modalities are well-suited to online therapy, especially those used with younger children. For example, play therapy, which helps younger children express their emotions, often requires in-person sessions to be fully effective.

Can I receive prescriptions and medication management with online therapy?

The ability for psychiatrists to prescribe medications through online therapy varies based on the medication and the states where the medical professional and client are located. While many prescribing regulations were relaxed during the COVID-19 pandemic, some states still enforce rules, especially concerning controlled substances, which may mandate an in-person visit before prescribing. Generally, however, medical professionals can prescribe non-controlled substances through online therapy sessions just as they do during in-person sessions.
