Online Counselling for Ontario

As your therapist I believe you are the only expert about yourself and your life. I view therapy as a co-active partnership where the individual and the therapist work together towards the goals of the client. This does not mean that I cannot provide guidance and suggestions about what might be helpful. Therapy is ultimately about your individual needs and what you hope to achieve. I see my role as supporting you in exploring different ways of coping and achieving your potential.

I always approach my clients in with an anti-oppressive, trauma-informed, harm reduction framework. What does that mean? It means that I will always ask "what happened to you?" instead of asking "what's wrong with you?". It also means that I will always respect you as the expert in your own life. Finally, it means that I believe that everyone does their very best to survive and thrive each day–even on the days that we can't see any hope. I am here to be with you, even through the darkest of days, and help you find inspiration and hope within yourself.

When life doesn’t seem to be going according to plan we can be left feeling isolated, overwhelmed, and unsure of what step to take next. It is my belief however that we each have within us all we need to succeed and thrive in our lives, sometimes it just gets buried under all of our “stuff” and we could use a hand to rediscover it. I’m continually inspired by the strength, resilience, and creativity demonstrated in the life stories of the people I work with, and consider it a privilege to be invited to walk alongside them for a chapter or two. I respect the courage it takes to reach out for support, so welcome, I’m glad you're here!

***NOW ACCEPTING CLIENTS FOR IN-PERSON (SAUGA/VAUGHAN) AND PHONE/VIDEO*** Let’s be honest, life is hard, and in many ways, we juggle more today than we ever have! Life’s challenges can leave us feeling stressed, confused, demotivated, even helpless and hopeless. It can be a tough road to travel, but you don't have to walk it alone. As a therapist, I don’t think anyone should feel that way. I am committed to supporting my clients with guidance, care, and connected to the proper resources. With experience working with youth, students, adults, and parents, I enjoy collaborating with clients on a variety of challenges.

**See our website for other therapists accepting new clients** I am mental health therapist as well as a multi-faith spiritual and religious care provider (also known as a chaplain). My strength is working with anyone's faith and spirituality to help them with their mental health and spiritual journey. I work with all faiths and religious. In my practice, I see each client as a complex and unique person with stories, worldviews, and challenges. My goal is to aid you in accessing your inner resources such as the experiences you cultivate from your stories and the beliefs that find root in your worldviews to cope with challenges.

***ACCEPTING NEW CLIENTS: IN-PERSON & PHONE/VIDEO*** We believe that there is good in every person, and hope in every situation. We have helped individuals, couples, and families heal, grow, and connect. As relational therapists, we appreciate the impact that our relationships have on our well-being. We do not see clients as having something wrong with their minds that necessarily needs to be fixed. Rather, we see our clients as unique individuals, each with their own stories and perspectives, embedded in important relationships and contexts that impact them. We see strengths and we see hope, even when it feels like there is none.

Welcome! I specialize in working with Teens, Youth and Young Adults. Being in your teens and 20s can feel really overwhelming. There is so much to manage: college/university, friendships, dating, deciding on a career, moving out and figuring out who you are - all of this can make you feel pretty stressed and anxious. Most people need support during these years to manage all of these life changes and you don't need to do it alone. If you or your loved one is struggling with stress, anxiety, depression or low self-esteem, I can provide you with the support and tools to make it through this amazing yet challenging stage of life.

Your life experience is unique. That means that your stresses, problems and issues are individual. No matter how hard you have tried, it might feel like things aren’t getting any better leaving you feeling stuck. I recognize the courage it takes to reach out for help. In working with me, you will feel seen and heard as you embark on the path to healing.

Sleeping on the couch, fighting all weekend, feeling alone, angry, full of resentment and wondering if this is really all worth it. Sound a bit familiar? It's okay if it does! Couples counselling with me is geared towards exactly these issues. Plus cheating and affairs, blended family issues and everything else that comes with relationships. Never feeling heard, always being dismissed and small fights that lead to massive blowouts all suck. There has to be a better way! Assertive, interactive and structured sessions is the better way! It's the new way of doing relationship therapy.

***NOW ACCEPTING CLIENTS FOR PHONE/VIDEO*** It’s a privilege and honour to be doing this work, and to walk alongside clients on their respective healing journeys. I believe that everyone is the expert of their own lives and life experiences. By working collaboratively and through meaning-making, I aim to support clients in connecting with their needs, dreams, hopes, as well as to the answers I believe each person has inside them. My approach is trauma-informed, non-directive, strength-based, and client-centered. Healing, the discovery of possibilities, one’s resilience, and one's gifts can all be part of the therapy process.

While life is full of challenges, seeking support can help us make sense of what is going on around and within us. It takes bravery to recognize when that support is needed. I am passionate about coming alongside couples and individuals experiencing relational distress and are seeking to create stronger bonds with self and others. When we experience disconnection from ourselves or those we love, our whole world can feel like it is falling apart. By working together, we will create new patterns of connecting to change the current patterns that are keeping you disconnected.

I want to welcome you warmly to considering services of psychotherapy. When people are having a difficult time, or looking for ways to improve their lives, choosing a therapist can be a difficult process. My approach aims to identify, clarify and resolve issues in a supportive, collaborative, and caring way. During these very challenging times my clinic continues to provide support to clients via telephone and virtual video sessions. Any inquiry is welcomed. Service fees are 100% covered for eligible Veterans and Indigenous people across Canada.

Stories have always intrigued me because they helped me to understand how other people think and see the world. My interest in stories led me to social work: as I worked in the community, I learned the power of personal narratives to limit or expand the opportunities that my clients chose to pursue. I am particularly passionate about working with people experiencing life transitions. Transition periods can come at all stages of life. They can include a new diagnosis, the loss of employment, the death of a loved one, the end of a relationship, the start of a new career, recovery after illness, or a faith crisis.
