Psychotherapy is a form of support that is based on "talking work" The goal is to reduce distress by discussing and exposing our feelings and thoughts in a safe environment. Ultimately changing attitudes, behaviours and habits that prevent us from living our full potential. Our psyche can heal, just as our body does but we need to empty the bottomless bag of emotions piled high with feelings of depression, anxiety, anger and shame. Reaching out for support at first can feel scary, especially if shame leaves you feeling unworthy.

So you FEEL that there is something wrong but you can't put your finger on it. When you try to talk about it you feel that nobody is HEARING you? I will HEAR you. Why? Because I believe Narrative (Talk) Therapy is one of the best therapies to examine the unknown of what deep inside continues to bother us. While I can and have offered a range of therapeutic treatments, my preferred modalities are Narrative Therapy and Solutions Focused Therapy. I am based in downtown Toronto and am an Associate at Karen T. Kemp Psychology & Associates in Aurora, Ontario. However, I also work online throughout the GTA/Ontario.

New service: DBT Skills Group. I am a registered psychotherapist with experience working in a variety of settings in the United States and Canada. Since beginning to practice in early 2014, I have supported hundreds of clients in making important life changes including increasing self-esteem, improving control over emotions and moods, and gaining a better understanding of themselves.

While life is full of challenges, seeking support can help us make sense of what is going on around and within us. It takes bravery to recognize when that support is needed. I am passionate about coming alongside couples and individuals experiencing relational distress and are seeking to create stronger bonds with self and others. When we experience disconnection from ourselves or those we love, our whole world can feel like it is falling apart. By working together, we will create new patterns of connecting to change the current patterns that are keeping you disconnected.

When you read the following out loud do they resonate with you? Do you often sabotage your own best intentions for yourself. Have you, or someone you love(d), experienced a life altering medical event and need to make sense of it all. Do you have trouble saying "no" to everyone but yourself? Are you thinking about transitioning your life in another direction? Do unrealistic expectations of yourself and others cause you constant pain?

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, 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 state where they practice; providers whose license or primary credential has been 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 $300 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.
