We can talk either in person at my Acton location, or virtually from the comfort of your own home.
If you’re exhausted by constant pressure, perfectionism, or old wounds that still show up in new ways, you’re not alone—and you don’t have to carry it alone. I will work with you to address some of the complex stressors and emotions that can take a toll on daily life. My approach is warm, inviting and collaborative. I create a space where you can slow down, speak freely, and begin to untangle what’s weighing on you. Together, we’ll work toward understanding the patterns that no longer serve you and develop tools to help you feel your best.

I offer therapy in-person in Georgetown and online across Ontario in the evenings and Sundays.
Accepting new clients - Are you disconnected from your partner? Are you always arguing about the same thing, but never feeling repaired? Maybe the resentment feels too heavy, or you're overwhelmed and exhausted by stress and the pressure to keep everything together. Many of my clients feel anxious and uncertain about repairing strained relationships, navigating life transitions, and managing stress. When these issues go unaddressed, they can lead to more disconnection, conflict, and exhaustion. Therapy can help by providing a space to explore your experiences while developing practical tools that support change.

FAQ - About In Person Therapy
What are the benefits of in-person therapy?
In-person therapy offers several benefits that some people find highly valuable for their mental health treatment. Being present in the same room as your therapist can create a stronger sense of connection and allow for more nuanced communication through body language. Some people may also find it easier to focus in therapy when they are in a dedicated space and away from potential distractions related to home or work; attending an in-person session provides a clear boundary between therapy time and the rest of your life. For certain therapeutic approaches, such as Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing (EMDR), exposure therapy, or somatic therapy, being in person may be particularly important, as these therapies benefit from the therapist being able to observe and respond to a client’s physical cues effectively. Additionally, some individuals simply feel more comfortable discussing sensitive or painful topics when they are face-to-face with their therapist rather than on a screen.

When should I choose in-person therapy over online therapy?
In-person therapy may be a better choice when you need a structured therapeutic environment separate from your daily life, when you find it difficult to focus or feel comfortable in an online setting, or when privacy at home is a concern. It may also be more appropriate if you are dealing with severe mental health symptoms that require close monitoring or if your therapy involves approaches that rely heavily on observing physical cues. On the other hand, if convenience, scheduling flexibility, or access to specialists outside your immediate area are priorities, online therapy may be a better fit. Many therapists offer both options, so you can also discuss with a provider which format might work best for your specific situation.

How do I find an in-person therapist?
You can use Psychology Today's therapist directory to find an in-person therapist in your area. You can search by location, insurance accepted, specialty areas, therapeutic approaches, and other criteria to narrow down providers who meet your needs. Each therapist profile includes information about their credentials, areas of expertise, and whether they offer in-person sessions. Once you have identified potential therapists, you can contact them directly through the directory to schedule an initial consultation and determine whether they are a good fit before committing to ongoing treatment. When reaching out, it can be helpful to confirm their availability for in-person appointments, their office location, and whether they accept your insurance.
