Mainspring Counselling utilizes a holistic approach to wellness. I work closely with individuals and families to increase self- awareness and achieve self-motivation. Through the use of various psycho-therapeutic modalities, I support our clients to recognize and trust their inner voice and leverage their experiences and strengths to create wellness and healing. My aim is to create a welcoming and relatable environment through the acknowledgement of systemic barriers such as racism, classism etc. and a clear anti-oppressive mandate.

You may be wanting to heal wounds and grow past trauma, grief, or major life changes. Or, perhaps you are looking to navigate relationships in healthier ways. You may be looking to better understand yourself. Most of all, you want someone to understand you.

Have you been considering attending counselling? Maybe you have been feeling stressed or overworked, experiencing relational problems, or just cannot seem to find the time or motivation to get what you need to get done in a day? This can be frustrating and tiresome for a person; however, these problems are not as uncommon as one might think. Many people will try different approaches to tackle these problems on their own and see very little to no progress. This can be disheartening and lead one to feeling stuck in their current situation.

I help people get Unstuck from the internal and external struggles that keep us from living fully, now. We humans suffer, not only because of the inevitable pain that life presents, but because of the difficult emotions, thoughts, memories, urges and sensations we experience in response to the pain. We humans are also incredibly adaptive, with the ability to demonstrate tremendous courage, compassion and resiliency that allows us to overcome and grow from adversity and difficult personal histories. My approach is client-centered, collaborative, solution-focused, and grounded in evidence-based science.

We all have our own unique challenges and experiences, and sometimes we may find that we could use some additional support to help navigate a path forward. These challenges may result in experiences such as low mood, overthinking, trouble sleeping or difficulty managing our emotions. Alternatively, these experiences may be contributing to the challenges we are facing, preventing us from living the way we want to. Whatever your experience or challenge is, if you are unhappy or uncomfortable, we can work through it together to find out what may work in your unique circumstances.

When struggling, you may notice that you go into autopilot. You might feel disconnected from the people you love or even scarier with how you respond to the world around you. These circling thoughts become increasingly more difficult to overtake & in the moment, feel impossible to stop. This leads to a lack of purpose & zest for life. You end up living inauthentically to who you are & who you want to be. You may not even recognize yourself. You may feel disconnected from your body or begin to notice stress-related muscle tension, flare-ups, or headaches. “What the mind suppresses, the body expresses.”

I am passionate about helping people get to the root of their problems. Sometimes the "root" of the issue manifests itself in painful ways such as anxiety, depression, eating issues, or even just difficulty getting through day to day life. I seek to help my clients gain awareness and acceptance of their emotions and needs and empower them to make new choices that cultivate the life they want. I help clients navigate the difficulty that major life transitions present such as, loss, illness, divorce, family changes and career issues. Where it is relevant, I help explore how those emotions relate to past patterns and experiences.

When we are being heard, listened to and understood it becomes easier to reconnect with what is important. Often our next steps become clearer. We can see what keeps us stuck, untangle the values that guide our choices and move towards healing and growth. I am offering individual psychotherapy to adults across Ontario. My approach is compassionate, client-centered, strength-based and resilience oriented.

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.
