I offer help to clients who feel trapped by their thoughts, their past, or the weight of their own emotions. They might be struggling with anxiety that loops endlessly, the heavy fog of depression, or the pain of a relationship that isn’t working. They've tried to “think their way out” but feel stuck. They don’t just want to be “fixed”; they want to understand themselves. Their goal is to find a sense of peace and reclaim the joy and freedom they know is possible. They are ready to learn that they are not their thoughts, and that within them lies the capacity to choose a different path.

Everyone has their own unique and complex story and experiences, struggles, fears and painful feelings. These emotional experiences and inner needs are affected by your personal background, life experiences, and various interpersonal traumas. These need to be listened to and understood. Psychotherapy is a very safe and powerful space. It is also a collaborative process between you and me. It can help you better understand your own set of needs, build a more flexible psychological strength to accept yourself, and discover your inner strength to bring about change for yourself.

Do you feel disconnected from yourself, your relationships, or a sense of purpose? I find that when we feel disconnected, problems like anxiety, depression, procrastination, burnout, or compulsive behaviours often follow.

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 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.
