As a therapist, I specialise in supporting young people and families who are affected by symptoms of Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD) and related disorders. Young people with OCD may be troubled by intrusive worries or images and engage in repetitive or ritualised behaviours to try and relieve their anxiety. Over time, these challenges can begin to impact their schooling, their social relationships and their daily functioning. I am passionate about supporting young people to take meaningful steps towards a life without OCD, using CBT with a focus on exposure and response prevention (ERP).

Do you find yourself struggling at times? Perhaps going through a challenging life adjustment, relationship difficulties, trying to make sense of your emotions and experiences or feeling overwhelmed? Counselling can help you, offering a warm and non-judgemental place for you to talk in confidence about yourself, in a way that we don't usually get to do. Whether you are feeling lonely, anxious, angry, fearful, sad, in a low mood or grieving, or just have a sense that things aren't right but not sure where to turn, consider coming to therapy and focusing on yourself, your goals and exploring changes you'd like to make to your life.

What’s the difference between a psychologist, a therapist, and a counsellor?
Therapists, psychologists, and counsellors are all licensed mental health professionals. In many countries, psychologists have earned a doctoral degree. The terms “therapist” and “counsellor” are used somewhat interchangeably, but generally therapists offer longer-term, mental health care, while counsellors 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 counsellor 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 where they practice; providers whose license or primary credential has been 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 counselling. 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.
