cancer
and dealing with dying. As a therapist,
cancer
patient, and the mother of six children, my life experience and training has taught me the value of working with each person as a unique, dynamic individual. I have personal experience raising children to adulthood, navigating the challenges and rewards of being in long-term relationships, and dealing with loss, illness and death.

I specialize in working with people coping with anxiety, depression,
cancer
, ADHD and coping with grief and loss, of all kinds.
You're feeling anxious, hurt or overwhelmed. You want to build a life where you are not just surviving and going through the motions, but it feels like that is out of reach. You want the anxiety to stop, or at least to find ways for it to have less power over your life. You are facing new changes or losses in your life and you're wondering where to go from here and how to work through the pain. You need someone to listen and to help you in finding ways to help yourself, to heal, to learn strategies to cope with the emotions that are flooding you. You are ready to make changes to help you live the life YOU want to live. I get it.

My areas of specialization are relationship issues, grief & bereavement, palliative care, HIV/AIDS/
Cancer
, coming out, internalized homophobia, transgender issues, addiction recovery, and codependency.
The counselling process is similar to carefully peeling back the layers of an onion. You need to feel safe and in control as the layers of your story are revealed. Together, we uncover deeper parts of the self that may be hidden from conscious thought ... old scripts and tapes that are still playing today and causing you pain and anxiety. You can change your life by bringing these old patterns and voices into the light of day for examination. My work is to support, guide, and challenge you so you can empower yourself to deal with past issues and present concerns.

One of the key ingredients in successful therapy is the quality of the relationship between a client and their therapist. This is why it is important for me to develop trust and cooperation with clients to support them in their difficulties and help them meet their psychological needs. Fostering a collaborative alliance and being open to every individual context allow me to support adults and couples in developing coping strategies, processing painful emotions related to present or past events, rebuilding trust and closeness, and developing self-compassion.

I have a deep interest in helping people open to explore their core selves, and increase their self-awareness, focus, attention, and concentration. Although I have a special interest in working with elite athletes, and physicians, I believe that a strengths-based approach rooted in the priniciples of high-performance are applicable to all of us. Whether one is working in a demanding profession, pursuing academics or specialized training, there is limitless potential in all to self-examine, focus on what is truly important, and live meaningful lives guided by our personal ethics.

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.
