I work with individuals and couples, and am a sex therapy-informed counselor, meaning I am comfortable working with issues that are often difficult to discuss. My goal is to help people find their meaning and joy in life, addressing areas of difficulty that include anxiety, depression, trauma, relationships, divorce, and grief. I love working with couples to help them reconnect, better communicate and work towards mutual life goals. As a mother to two tween daughters, I am interested in helping families find the balance to help foster their children’s academic success along with their social and emotional well-being.

I can help you if you are seeking relief from symptoms which may include anxiety, depression, and/or negative thinking. I believe people want to flourish and realize their full potential. Many clients strongly suspect their mental state is something that can be improved through therapy, but actually seeking it out can be difficult for a number of reasons. I wholeheartedly agree that the main goal of therapy is to identify obstacles a person may have towards flourishing and then finding ways to eliminate those obstacles (which often appear in the form of false beliefs, or fear stemming from family of origin and life experiences)

I work with individuals and couples who feel out of sync and stuck in their current patterns. This is usually a consequence of multiple layers built up over time, and I work with clients to tease apart and understand the various processes contributing to the current disarray. Gaining this awareness is the first step to slowing down the cycles and creating space for change.

I work with individuals from diverse backgrounds and mental health issues, including depression, anxiety, ADHD, relationship conflicts, low self-esteem and trauma. I believe that everyone struggles in their own way, and there is no clear standard for when it’s acceptable to voice that struggle. Each challenge is significant in its own right and deserves empathy and support. Too often, we dismiss our own difficulties, which leaves them unresolved and unhealed. It’s okay to struggle, to feel lost, or be exhausted by life and what it throws at us. We all deserve to be heard, supported, and heal.

Have you ever felt that whatever lousy habit you try to break, you keep on relapsing? Do you tend to sabotage work opportunities and relationships? Are relationships a source of distress for you? Do you sometimes feel your body is startled without any apparent reason? Given the situation, have you heard from other people that you are overreacting? (and, of course, this made you even more reactive). Are you far too familiar with feelings of anxiety and recurrent low mood? Or, in other moments, are you shutting off and experiencing a sense of numbness, detachment, or not even being fully present in your body? Trauma therapy can help!

My clients are professionals and couples navigating stress, trauma, or major life transitions—career changes, grief, infidelity challenges. They feel stuck, anxious, and disconnected, craving clarity and emotional safety. Their goal is to restore balance, rebuild trust, and move forward with confidence. They want relief from overwhelm and a renewed sense of purpose because life feels too heavy to carry alone.

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.
