My priority is to provide a safe, warm and non-judgemental healing space that allows exploration beneath symptoms to discover your authentic self. My work is trauma-informed and attachment-based. I have a passion for understanding the brain science of thoughts, feelings & behaviours. I love supporting my clients in having "aha moments" as they discover connections between their early childhood experiences and the brains instinctive response to protect, and then use this understanding to uncover how it impacts their present day struggles.

There is a lot going on in our lives. Between work and school, family and friends, it can be difficult to balance everything. With mental health and substance use issues affecting our lives, it can be difficult to find any balance at all. Maybe you have goals, but you are not sure how to achieve them. Perhaps you want to maintain and improve your relationships with family, friends, and intimate partners. Or maybe you are anxious or depressed and you want to learn how to cope with or overcome these issues.

Perhaps it started with one or two jarring and disturbing thoughts or images or an unshakable feeling that something wasn't right. Desperate to get rid of this unsettling experience, you performed a behaviour or mental act that you just felt compelled to complete, and at first, it seemed to help. Now you are caught in a vicious cycle where you feel the overwhelming urge to engage in certain thoughts or behaviours over and over in search of relief. You're stuck, and you desperately want to get out. If you can relate, you are not alone. Obsessive-compulsive disorder is an experience that affects 1-2% of the population.

Life is not bringing the joy you anticipated: You anticipated life with a baby to be easier and more fulfilling. You are disconnected, on edge, teary or angry without knowing why. Relationships are triggering your past or you feel you must not be like your parents, but how? Maybe you are having flashbacks, intrusive thoughts, nightmares or your relationship patterns stop you from feeling safe, present or able to calm your anxious body. You just can't cope anymore, or want someone to support you in a way that does not feel like extra work. You need space to process this new life and the life that came before.

Welcome! As a therapist, I have the privilege of accompanying clients along their uniquely personal therapy journeys. My passion lies in providing a safe and judgement-free space for traditional counselling, and trauma processing via EMDR, IFS and DBR. The origin of unprocessed trauma isn't always immediately clear, yet it changes how we view ourselves and the world around us. It can keep us in old conditioning and unhelpful patterns of thinking, feeling, and behaving while also limiting our ability to truly experience and embrace the present moment...where clarity, joy, and love of new experiences and relationships happen.

For some people, counselling can be a scary thing - sitting across from a stranger, not knowing what to expect, and not entirely sure if they want to share their story. I get it. That was my experience when I first saw a counsellor years ago. But what I quickly learned is that counselling is simply a conversation between two people who are mutually devoted to achieving a common goal. And as a counsellor, it is my desire to give you a safe place to have that conversation, to hear your thoughts and emotions, to understand your story, and then to journey with you toward a place of mental, emotional and spiritual wellness.

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.
