I am able to connect compassionately with people from a wide variety of cultures, religious backgrounds, and occupations. My clients report feeling safe to share their thoughts, experiences, however traumatic, and to express and transform intense emotions. I assist people to be their own authority by observing the conditioning that led to emotional suffering, relationship difficulties, self doubt and other challenges. Couples become allies in healing, personal growth, parenting lovingly, and advancing their careers and/or creative expression. Optimal health coaching, physical and emotional is a current passion. My clients want joy.

I absolutely love doing this work. As a mother, sister, wife and daughter, I work from a wellness-based perspective and believe that creating a sense of empowerment is one of the ultimate goals for therapy. I incorporate a Psychodynamic approach, utilizing IFS and EMDR into my work. I believe that we can all benefit from learning how to hold space, forgive, and love ourselves. In my counselling practice, I strive to be empathetic, open-minded, observant, kind, curious, and non-judgmental. My strength lies in my authenticity, fun approach, and respect for each and every client that I work with.

Sometimes we feel lost without a sense of who we are and where we are going, we feel stuck and pulled in different directions; on one hand we may feel moments of presence and clarity about what we want or who we are, and on the other hand we feel a mixture of afraid, critical, moody, distrusting, disconnected, confused, lacking confidence, and reacting on autopilot. When you get to know your inner world and have a better relationship with it, you will feel a greater sense of peace, confidence, and capability to handle the pitfalls of life, make decisions, and connect with others.

Welcome! I believe we all yearn for a deeper connection to ourself and to those around us, but we may find ourselves repeating unhelpful patterns, sacrificing our needs, and communicating in ways that do not support us or our relationships. I often work with individuals or couples who may be experiencing anxiety, depression, grief, perceptions of low self-worth and powerlessness, feelings of abandonment, shame, and other forms of wounding related to difficult upbringings or life experiences.

Life can be immensely challenging, and asking for help can be a battle in and of itself. Hurt afflicts us all, and many of us build barriers to protect ourselves against it. There may come a time, however, when these barriers are so strong that we become isolated even from the beautiful things. Numbness, anger, anxiety, and depression are ways that our bodies communicate with us, carrying the message that it is time to speak to the parts of ourselves we locked away.

Not good enough. Not lovable enough. Helpless. Hopeless. Do you feel bullied by thoughts like these day in and day out? The sad fact is negative thoughts can stay with you long after abuse and neglect have passed. And they can be even more powerful when they gang up on you with your body, so you feel depressed and anxious. This can leave you struggling with an altered sense of yourself and the world.

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.
