I value anti-oppressive, person-centered approaches to therapy & believe the relationship is at the core of your process. I currently support folks 16 years old & above. With sharing the therapeutic space, I aim to provide space to be wholeheartedly yourself. I take a strengths-based, collaborative approach in working toward your therapeutic goals. I recognize the gaps in mental health care that 2SLGBTQ+ folks face (regardless of folks whom are out to everyone, out to some, not out at all, don’t want to come out, questioning etc.) and aim to ensure folks are able to unapologetically be themselves.

What makes you happy? Are you able to achieve the goals you set and have your needs met? Are you able to feel seen and enjoy fulfilling relationships? Or do you feel 'different' from others and want to find your place or reclaim your voice and uniqueness? If this is you, then I can help. Together, we can create opportunities for growth and forward movement from those blocks or patterns of 'stuckness' that hold you back from experiencing a stronger sense of self and confidence.

Many of my clients come to therapy because they feel discouraged that the people around them appear to not understand the personal challenges they're facing in their lives. In attempting to talk about simple daily struggles, friends, family and co-workers often give advice or put a positive spin on what's hard. This can leave us feeling inadequate that we seem to be baffled by things that others appear to have figured out. As humans we need understanding and acceptance in order that we can continue to grow: and this is support you can find in good therapy.

The clients that I work with experience various forms of anxiety (i.e. generalized, social, performance, health); panic attacks; self-esteem and self-confidence issues; that negatively impact their school, work, family, relationships, and life in general. Their goals is to better understand and manage emotions, adjust their mindsets (adjust perspectives, change their inner-critic into inner-support), increase their self-esteem and self-confidence, so they can better navigate through life challenges. They regain control over their lives, thus, living in accordance with their own design, continuing to grow and evolve as human beings.

Everyone experiences life challenges. Navigating these challenges can be overwhelming, frustrating, and lonely. Are you exhausted of speaking to people who just don’t seem to understand or might even judge you? Taking the first step to seeking therapy can be terrifying and difficult. We can work together to help you understand what you’re feeling, and ways to manage what life throws your way. I believe feeling safe, understood and supported within a therapeutic space is important. I believe everyone has a unique set of strengths to overcome life challenges.

Are you unhappy with your relationship? Maybe you've been feeling unsupported or disconnected from your partner, or like they no longer listen to you? Does it feel like you've been having the same argument for weeks or months, struggling to communicate and stewing in frustrations rather than having productive conversations? If you're dealing with conflict, communication, or intimacy issues, you're not alone. If you want to learn how to reduce the arguments, repair past hurts, and have more fun together again, I can teach you practical strategies to help make your relationship feel like a partnership again.

Through years of life transitions—moving countries, different jobs—I have discovered first-hand how essential selfcare is. As your therapist, I offer a space where you can explore what selfcare means for you as you move through the challenges of life transitions, relationships, work related stress, social anxiety or existential crises. I believe our brains and body store a lot of information and wisdom and we are consciously or subconsciously making decisions which help us move through the world.

Emphatic listening to help you delve deeply into your thoughts, feelings, and emotions. Overcome emotional suffering through self exploration and towards inner harmony.

Yet, the search for meaning and transcendence in such suffering allows the patient to attain a harmonious, wholesome existence. The psychoanalytical approach will allow you to discover the origins and meaning of suffering in order to build, re-establish, and reinforce the balance of being-in-the-world.

Do you wish things were different? I work with diverse clients facing life's transitions and challenges. My theoretical framework is relational, using both talk therapy and/or creative/expressive arts modalities. Following your lead, I listen/witness and attune carefully in order to attend to your specific need. We start with where you are most comfortable, which means that talking, imagery, dreamwork and silence are all welcome. Although I work flexibly between short term talk therapy (psychodynamic psychotherapy) and expressive/creative arts, we safely build our relationship, while co-creating in our therapeutic studio space.

Sometimes we have a profound sense that the way we have been moving through our lives doesn't fit anymore. This realization can be coupled with anxiety, depression, aggression, sleeplessness, repetitive actions or thoughts, and feelings of isolation or fragmentation. It is hard to find yourself in this place, and even harder to know where to turn. Realizing something isn't quite right is the first step----talking to someone is the next. I offer a 'no fee' 1 hour Introductory Session so that you can see if I am the right therapist for you. I work with Individuals and Couples age 18 and up.

I like to help clients gain new perspectives, gently challenge and encourage change and growth. I work with individuals and couples as well as parents to help them better understand themselves and their relationships with others in their lives. Exploring issues of failure, loss, fear, shame, anxiety and depression can be scary, but with the help of a psychotherapist it can be less intimidating and ultimately liberating. Working collaboratively with my clients in an empathic, non-judgmental and safe space, I am passionate about helping them improve their relationships, deal with difficult personal issues and life transitions.

Feeling stuck? Overwhelmed? Anxious? Experiencing relationship hurdles? Grieving a loss or simply want someone to talk to? Whatever it may be, together we can work on positive change. We can uncover the patterns of thoughts and behaviour that may holding you back. We can replace despair with hope, self-doubt with self-esteem, and sadness with joy. Simply put, we can discover your better self. You may not have a specific “problem” necessarily in mind; you don’t need to be given a reason to begin the work.

To navigate between locations within the same country, enter a new city or postcode into the search bar.

Learn more about how to find a therapist.

Is online therapy a good option?

Therapy conducted online or over the phone 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 postcode.

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 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 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.
