Enough tension and exhaustion. You are ready to move through the stuck pattens holding you back from connection. It's common to feel anxious and uncertain in your relationships, in romance, friendship, and work. It is possible excitement and creativity can flow in your partnerships, opening space to express your needs. You drop the mask, you connect to pleasure, and you are more free to choose what roles you want to play in your life. Creative arts therapy offers playful ways to communicate with others and with yourself so you can feel supported and relaxed in your relationships.

Reaching out for help can be hard. It is understandable to want support when dealing with difficult experiences. Deepening our understanding of ourselves and what we have been through can help identify inner wounds and create opportunities for healing, growth and connection with self and others.

Fun fact: A new way people "start" therapy in 2026 isn’t by calling a therapist.
It’s by typing into AI things like: “why do I feel like this,” “how do I stop overthinking,” “I just binged and feel like a failure,” or “why do I feel like I need a drink.”
People aren’t looking for a specific type of therapy—they’re looking for relief. Because no one likes to suffer.
And yet, suffering can become familiar. Predictable. Even… strangely comfortable.
Your brain is wired to prefer what’s known—even if it hurts—over what’s unfamiliar. It’s trying to protect you. So we start to confuse painful with safety.

The teen and young adult years can be tumultuous and fraught with challenges. Many young people experience difficulties during this time which can result in emotional, behavioral, social, academic and/or family issues. Therapy provides an opportunity to stop, reflect, and talk about issues confidentially and openly. I work individually with teens aged 14 and older, as well as adults, in an environment of compassion, non-judgement and respect. Clients and I work collaboratively to explore concerns, examine different perspectives, and work through challenges and obstacles to change, in order to make healthy choices.

Is your child struggling with anger, anxiety, opposition, or withdrawal, and you feel helpless or alone? My work places you, the parent, at the heart of change. We begin with parental guidance: decoding your child's behaviour as emotions and nervous-system responses, without judgment. When helpful, the work extends to your child through play. My approach is non-pathologizing; rather than diagnosing, we build understanding together. Many parents come to feel clearer and more connected.

Many of the people I work with feel emotionally numb, disconnected, or not fully present in their lives. You might feel cut off from your emotions, your body, or even your sense of self—going through the motions but not quite in your life.
This emotional numbness or disconnection is often linked to dissociation, which can be an adaptive response to overwhelm. While it can help you cope in the moment, over time it can leave you feeling distant, stuck, or unsure how to reconnect.

I offer sessions online or in-person in a space with soft seating, floor seating options, plants, fish, and tools to get creative with.
Human’s have an innate need to be seen, held, and accepted for their reality. Through relationship we offer mirrors to each other, and these mirrors help us build a strong sense of self and grow from our life experiences. Without these mirrors individuals can start to feel invisible. Therapy can help people reflect on many elements of their lives including daily struggles, past or current traumas, systemic violences, spiritual and existential unknowns, neurodivergence, illness, and disability to name a few. In Drama therapy we use talking as well as creativity to help you feel seen and also allow you to play with your reflection.

Life doesn't always unfold the way we expect. You may be struggling in your relationship, preparing for marriage, healing from a painful experience, or navigating a major life transition that has left you feeling uncertain or overwhelmed. Many of my clients come to therapy feeling stuck, disconnected, or exhausted from carrying the weight of stress, trauma, or difficult relationship patterns on their own. Together, we'll create a supportive space to better understand what's happening, strengthen your relationships, and help you move forward with greater confidence, clarity, and resilience.

FAQs - About Teletherapy
Is online therapy as effective as in-person?
Numerous studies suggest that online therapy can be as effective as in-person therapy. However, further research is needed to determine if online therapy provides the same benefits across all client populations. Individuals with severe mental illnesses, such as schizophrenia or bipolar disorder, or those who may benefit from in-person check-ins, like those with eating disorders, may not experience the same level of benefit from online therapy. Nonetheless, the success of online therapy, much like in-person therapy, often hinges on the quality of the therapeutic relationship between the therapist and the client rather than the specific modality of therapy used.
What are the advantages and disadvantages of therapy conducted online?
One of the main advantages of online therapy is its convenience for both clients and therapists. It also allows clients who require specialised therapy to access a wider range of professionals than they could with only in-person sessions. Additionally, online therapy may be a more affordable option in some cases and often offers the same insurance benefits as in-person therapy. However, online therapy may not be suitable for everyone, especially those who value face-to-face interaction with a therapist. Therapists may find it more challenging to assess clients accurately in an online setting due to reduced nonverbal cues on camera. There is also the increased risk that disruptions caused by external factors, such as technology malfunctions, can hinder the therapy session. For these reasons, many therapists offer a "hybrid" therapeutic approach, alternating between seeing clients in-person and online.
Is online therapy suitable for children and adolescents?
Just like with adults, the accessibility and convenience of online therapy can greatly benefit children and adolescents. In fact, children and adolescents may be more accustomed to navigating online platforms than older adults, making online sessions feel more natural for them. Teens might also be interested in using additional online tools, such as therapist-recommended apps, as an adjunct to online therapy sessions. Apps for developing CBT skills, practicing mindfulness exercises, or tracking thoughts and moods can be helpful for teens receiving therapy. However, it's important to note that not all therapeutic modalities are well-suited to online therapy, especially those used with younger children. For example, play therapy, which helps younger children express their emotions, often requires in-person sessions to be fully effective.
Can I receive prescriptions and medication management with online therapy?
The ability for psychiatrists to prescribe medications through online therapy varies based on the medication and the states where the medical professional and client are located. While many prescribing regulations were relaxed during the COVID-19 pandemic, some states still enforce rules, especially concerning controlled substances, which may mandate an in-person visit before prescribing. Generally, however, medical professionals can prescribe non-controlled substances through online therapy sessions just as they do during in-person sessions.
