Online Counselling for Ontario

Are you struggling with depression, anxiety, relationship problems, low self-esteem, anger, or feeling overwhelmed with life's challenges? I provide a non-judgemental, supportive environment where clients can feel safe exploring their most difficult issues and gain some clarity on directions for change. I have successfully helped numerous clients enhance self-awareness, discover their inherent strengths, and boost resilience to meet the complex demands of modern-day life.

The clients I serve in my practice are women, people of colour, indigenous communities and lgbt2sq identified people. You’ve been in therapy before and although you’ve seen results you aren’t yet at the place you want to be. Feelings of stress, anxiety, stuckness and depression are familiar to you. You’ve been going in circles in your relationships and your career and now you’re ready to dig deeper. Your core beliefs keep pulling you back into old patterns like people pleasing, controlling behaviours, co-dependency, and difficulty prioritizing yourself and identifying your needs.

Welcome, you have taken a great step in being on this site. I am here to help and support you where ever you may be in your journey of healing, coping, or discovery. The relationship between client and therapist is an important one. Our rapport will contribute to successful therapy and to that end, I offer a safe and non-judgemental experience. I believe in the power of hope, coffee and the resiliency of people. I would be honoured to work with you and offer a free phone consultation if you would like to see if I am a good fit for you.

* ACCEPTING NEW CLIENTS IN PERSON MINIMAL WAITLIST IN PICKERING ON* Childhood and Adolescence can be difficult even without a pandemic, and long wait lists have left our children and youth in need. I specialize in all aspects of childhood, tween and adolescence: the good, the bad and the UGLY! I provide support with the goal of strengthening everyone within the family unit, for optimal functioning. I believe in flexibility, creativity and have the understanding that the youth and their families are the experts. I also support adults with the same understanding of the importance of flexibility and openness.

Hi there! Are you struggling with a breakup, loneliness, romantic relationship and friendship challenges, maternal mental health, ADHD, social anxiety, and just burnt out? Then I would be honoured to work with you! While we work together, you can expect a warm and safe place to identify and explore all of your doubts, confusion, curiosities and triggers. Relationships can be our haven from these traumas, but they can also sometimes be the cause of our distress. Relational-based therapy or couples counselling can be a brilliant place to slow down so and examine our patterns of thinking, feeling, and behaving in the present moment.

You're here because you're consumed by racing thoughts, self-doubt, stress, and worry. You find yourself overthinking everything and end up feeling exhausted, on edge, and bad about yourself. You're unsure why this is happening and want answers. If this sounds like you, I commend you for being here. It is absolutely exhausting and debilitating feeling this way, and seeking help isn't easy. The good news? You’re not alone and there are tools backed by research that you can learn to help you understand what is happening and why, to process it all, and to manage these feelings so that you can regain a sense of control and fulfillment.

Accepting new virtual clients. Do you ever think, “how did I get here?”. From navigating relationships, work, parenting, and day-to-day stress, managing adult life can feel overwhelming. Often the stories we tell ourselves about who we are and how we 'should' act keep us stuck in unhelpful patterns. But you don’t have to stay ‘stuck’. Let’s work together to understand your own blueprint that got you to where you are —and find a new way forward. I bring my experience as a working mom to my practice, encouraging you to show up as you are. Together we can help you take steps towards a life that feels authentic and fulfilling to you.

I’m a registered social worker with OCSWSSW and ACSW. I have worked with several private mental health clinics throughout my career. I have extensive training and experience in behaviour management and I specialize in trauma, depression, and anxiety. I currently practice and provide therapy to adults, adolescents, and the LGBTQ community.

Anxiety, burnout, stress, family, trauma, life transitions, or multiracial/racial-related matters (to name a few) … if you need help with any of these, you've come to the right place. I have extensive training (see my profile) to help you find solutions or provide a listening ear. I've worked with people from diverse backgrounds and ages and what’s most important to know is that at the heart of healing… is connection. Whether it's connecting with loved ones or seeking guidance from a counselor, creating a safe space is key to inspiring change. Let me support you in making positive changes and living your best life. Let's do this!

Are you struggling with overwhelming anxiety or panic and nothing seems to work to get rid of it? Do you feel limited in your relationships or work and you suspect anxiety is the cause? Is your frustration growing as anxiety continues to block you from creating the life you truly desire? I understand that anxiety and panic attacks can feel like annoying house guests who eat everything in your fridge and never, ever leave.

The rough bits of life were never meant to be faced alone. You don’t need to go through life transitions & challenges, depression, anxiety, stress, fear or trauma by yourself. Chances are, you already recognize that avoiding your feelings, isolating yourself and/or placing your needs last has not been helpful. Maybe you feel stuck, unsure of how to process & proceed. This is where I come in. By offering you a non-judgemental, empathetic, warm and affirming space, I help you raise your self-awareness, uncover your strengths, sit with your big feelings, and create strategies to live the life you value & deserve.

Do you feel stuck? Relationship problems, lack of confidence, anxiety--these are just some of the reasons that people feel unhappy. LIFE IS TOO SHORT TO STRUGGLE ALONE. I have many years of experience in the mental health field and I enjoy helping my clients to identify and work through their blocks to leading a happy and emotionally healthy life. I am down to earth, easy to talk to and I have a good sense of humour. I am open-minded and motivated to listen to your needs and and help you to formulate a plan for moving forward.

Struggling with anxiety, anger, trauma, or relationship issues? When we work together, we're not going to slap on bandaid solutions; we will look at the root causes of your struggles and find a way to work through them so that you can have lasting, positive change in your life. I like to explore, challenge, and empower you to lean into the difficult stuff that we usually run away from using a gentle yet firm approach. My goal is to help you be able to accept those uncomfortable thoughts and feelings without being overwhelmed by them, and to connect you with a sense of confidence, clarity, and courage to live the way you want to.

Thank you for visiting my profile. I am a Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying) and work with men, women and couples of various ages dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, grief and relationship issues. I enjoy collaborating with my clients to deal with many of these life challenges.

Are you feeling disconnected to yourself, loved ones, or society? Do you question whether you are a good father, son, or partner? Do you feel angry, stuck, overwhelmed, powerless, guilty, or "not normal". Many men struggle with their mental health without seeking help or reaching out for support. Often, this struggle may lead to addiction, anxiety, depression, shame, guilt, suicidal ideation, poor relationships, grief, low self-esteem, or low self-worth. First Step Men's Therapy offers a safe, warm, and inviting space for men to heal, learn, and grow. Book a free consultation today at firststepmenstherapy.com!

Anxiety has you exhausted as you are reminded each moment of everyday about how strongly your life has changed. Being consumed by anxiety, leaves you feeling overwhelmed with life. Fearful and on edge for when the next change will arrive in your life requiring you to adjust again. The stress feels fierce as it has impacted your daily life. It leads you to ruminate about what has happened, as you wish it was different. You're left feeling "stuck". Trapped in your thoughts, and feeling unsure how to overhaul your life. Just desiring a sense of peace in your mind is a starting point for you to seek change through therapy.

What if you could talk to your partner without it becoming an escalated argument every single time? How would you feel to have just one day, without feeling stressed, sad or anxious? How would you feel if you were able to have a healthy routine? How would you feel if you managed your anger effectively? Imagine if you were able to talk to someone without any judgement? How you feel to live without guilt? Good, right? I can help you with that. I give clients the space to talk about their feelings and thoughts to help them manage their emotions effectively and live fuller lives.
