Are you struggling with feelings of guilt and shame due to trauma? My speciality is to examine and work through those feelings to decrease and eliminate those feelings to increase your self-confidence. Many people feel "stuck" due to past trauma and my goal is to change that so that you are flourishing. I am a Registered Psychotherapist who serves all of Canada (except Quebec). I work with individuals who are experiencing anxiety, depression, trauma, adults and children diagnosed with ADHD. Understanding the barriers in a person’s life, and previous trauma, can help identify present day triggers and daily struggles.

It can be very difficult to find a therapist who you might feel can be helpful to you. I like to think of therapy as first and most importantly a relationship. Some might have a sense that things are not as they might hope. We live in a time of loneliness, confusion, separation, conflict and it seems our cultural framework that is meant to hold all of this together is failing. At the heart of what is missing for so many is a place of love and belonging. Or perhaps you’ve lost sight of a sense of meaning in your life? Maybe you’ve received recently some deeply troubling news about your own health or the recent loss of a loved one?

Hi! I am a counsellor with a deep passion + appreciation for all things body. I enjoy supporting clients in developing and cultivating a more meaningful and peaceful relationship with their own body experience, whatever it may be. My areas of focus include body image, body dysmorphia, body trust, body liberation, body acceptance, body neutrality, eating disorders/disordered eating, shame, grief, sexuality, gender, self actualization, identity, depression, anxiety, and anything else that the body experiences and holds. My work is rooted in self-compassion; that is the foundation upon which all good and sustainable things are built.

Are you struggling in this crazy world? Do you feel anxious, sad, frustrated, angry, overwhelmed, and/or tired of it all?

Are you constantly embroiled in conflict with others?

As a Social Worker Psychotherapist I work relationally with individuals, and those in partnership with others (including couples and poly dynamics). I am drawn to themes of: shame, sexuality, neurodiversities, grief, and impediments to connection; both to oneself and others. I am queer/bisexual and genderfluid, but you don't have to be, and a person who lives with a long-term invisible chronic illness. I am based in NL but got my start as a therapist Ontario and am registered to provide therapy in 3 provinces (including Nova Scotia). My work is informed by my experiences of working in community mental health and harm reduction.

As a counselor, I envision my ideal client as someone who is courageous and motivated to seek help. They may be facing various challenges such as anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, PTSD, addictions, or conflicts. They may have reached a point where they realize that they can no longer navigate these difficulties on their own and are ready to embark on a journey of self-discovery and healing. My ideal client recognizes their need for support and is open to exploring their emotions, thoughts, and behaviors in a safe and non-judgmental space. They are willing to engage in the therapeutic process and actively participate.

Asking for help can be one of the hardest things to do - I’m glad you are making that first step! My therapy room is a safe and accepting space where there is no agenda to change or "cure" you. It is to see you, as you are. My goal is that you feel seen and understood. Many clients come to me describing themselves as depressed, overwhelmed, stressed, stuck or anxious. Most are surprised that I don't try to ’get rid' of these symptoms, but that every part is welcome and has an important story to share. Through mindfulness we bring awareness to these feelings, to understand and embrace them to enable healing at a deeper level.

A little about me: I have a Masters Degree in Social Work and 22 years experience offering therapy to adults, adolescents, and couples/relationships. (trad or non-trad). Reaching out to a therapist is difficult and can create feelings of anxiety, shame or fear of being misunderstood or judged. I believe that therapy should be a non-judgemental, collaborative experience, where you can comfortably uncover and confront the obstacles preventing you from living the life you deserve. My goal is to provide a compassionate, trauma-informed, queer positive, gender affirming space that is inclusive to all. (Accepting clients from NL &NS)

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.
