I currently own a virtual practice where I offer social-emotional assessment, individual therapy, and parent consultation to families across Ontario.
My approach is evidence-based, while also building on each client’s unique strengths and needs. I focus on creating a strong therapeutic bond and an environment where children and parents feel comfortable and at ease. My goal is to provide clients with tools for their "toolbox" to help them move forward in their lives and navigate bumps along the way.

Accepting clients via video for psychotherapy, group counselling, educational counselling.
Does your child need support navigating challenges like ADHD, behavioural concerns, hyperactivity, motivation, decision-making, focus, aggression, shyness, or other social-emotional issues? At Positive Kids, we understand how difficult it can be to see your child struggle. That’s why we’ve created a nurturing space to help children and teens develop critical life skills, in the following areas: self-control, self-awareness, social awareness, relationship skills and responsible decision-making. These children ultimately become independent, confident, inquisitive, enthusiastic, responsible and compassionate adults in later years.

Perhaps for as long as you can remember, you’ve experienced emotions more intensely and deeply than other people. Maybe you feel the need for constant validation in your relationships, or every challenge you face feels like the end of the world, leading you to engage in behaviors destructive to yourself and your relationships. These patterns might leave you feeling ashamed, misunderstood, or even broken. It’s not just the emotional rollercoaster it the continuous turmoil, the fear of being left behind, never feeling good enough, and always feeling like a life worth living is out of reach.

As a clinical psychologist, I offer treatment for adults and couples. My typical client is a couple struggling with the lingering impact of trauma, conflict, and disconnection. They are usually seeking therapy to foster healing, growth, and a deeper understanding of themselves and their relationship. They are often looking to rebuild trust, overcome emotional barriers, and nurture healthier, more fulfilling relationships with themselves and others. Ultimately, couples want to feel more empowered to experience love in a way that feels safe, meaningful, and authentic. I am only accepting clients for -couples intensives- at this time.

Online Counsellors
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.
