I specialize in recovery, rehabilitation and the change process. Just the word change can evoke anxiety and terror or usher in a new beginning. Change may be happening to us, or we may have to make changes for our own benefit. You know what to do, but getting started and sticking to it is hard. You may also need help with coping with the changes that have happened to you. I work with substance use, mental health, physical health and life issues. We look at how to change or cope in a way that is sustainable and sets you up for success long term. Not ready to do anything yet? Working through thinking about change can be helpful too.

My passion is to walk with people on their journey towards a life that is rich and meaningful. While we can't change painful experiences from the past, we can work together towards better understanding and resolution of them in the present. By applying complementary therapy approaches and techniques, we will explore and challenge long-standing behaviour patterns and/or negative perceptions which may be problamatic. Whether you are looking for extra support or guidance through a particular challenge or you're just ready to move in a new direction, I will work with you towards achieving your goals.

Although it can be very unnerving to make that first step, reaching out can lead to change to create the life you want. Are you overcome with worry about many things? Are you afraid of making a mistake or feeling embarrassed when you are in social situations? Do you have intrusive thoughts that lead to rituals that get in your way. Have you had panic or do you fear the physical and emotional sensations of anxiety itself? Has trauma resulted in a cycle of fear, shame, intrusive memories and avoidance? Even if it feels impossible right now, you can make changes that will give you some freedom from these debilitating issues.

Is online therapy a good option?

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, 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.
