Life can sometimes feel overwhelming, whether you're facing challenges in your relationships, family life, career, or health. Maybe you’re in the middle of a major life transition, dealing with loss, or questioning your next steps. You might feel a desire for change but aren’t sure what direction to take, or perhaps you’ve been pushing through life’s never ending demands and feel disconnected or exhausted. Wherever you are, I’m here to support you.
As a registered psychotherapist, I work with individuals who want to explore deeper patterns affecting their well-being in a down-to-earth and practical way. Together, we’ll uncover what’s holding you back—whether it’s anxiety, relationship struggles, or simply feeling stuck. I provide a safe and compassionate space where you can gain insight into your emotions, make sense of your story, and start making changes.
I work collaboratively with my clients and I believe that meaningful change happens within the trust and transparency of a strong therapeutic relationship. I’ll be walking beside you, offering guidance and practical tools to help you break through barriers and achieve your goals. Whether we’re diving deep into difficult conversations or sharing lighter moments of reflection, therapy with me is about creating a space where all parts of you are welcome. Life can be daunting but therapy doesn't have to be.
I look forward to working together and being part of your journey.
Hey there!
I am here to help you make meaningful changes in your life. I believe that therapy works through a transparent and trusting therapeutic alliance between the client and therapist.
You are the expert on your life and I will be your guide and create a space where you can explore emotions, get to the root of your patterns, and make sense of what’s holding you back—whether it’s anxiety, relationship challenges, or feeling stuck in your own story. Our relationship will build over time, and within that close, alliance, I will be your fellow traveler, walking alongside you with a practical approach, a touch of humor when we need it, and the power of meaningful conversations.
Therapy doesn’t have to be a daunting experience. Our human experiences are multifaceted, and in therapy, we’ll embrace moments of humor when they arise and celebrate milestones as they come.
As a Registered Psychotherapist in Ontario, my regulatory body, the College of Registered Psychotherapists of Ontario (CRPO), does not permit the use of client testimonials. This regulation is in place to prevent bias and ensure that clients choose a therapist based on personal consultation and connection, rather than outside influence.
I understand that it can be difficult to get a sense of what a therapist is like unless you’ve been referred by someone you trust. While I adhere to CRPO's guidelines regarding testimonials, I am happy to share some insights and feedback that clients have graciously given me during our work together, and share them with their permission.
BEFORE YOU BEGIN Online Therapy
Finding the right online psychotherapist starts with asking yourself the right questions, here are a few to consider:
Why do I want to start therapy now?
Did something trigger this feeling?
Is it something new or was it hidden and has recently come to the surface?
What outcome do I hope for by working with my licensed online therapist?
What am I prepared to do to reach my goal?
What qualities, besides those that make me feel safe, seen and heard am I looking for in my online therapist?
Taking some time to reflect on these questions can help bring clarity as you prepare for our free 30-minute phone consultation. I’m looking forward to connecting with you!
What is psychotherapy?
Psychotherapy is a safe, supportive space where you can explore your thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. It’s a chance to better understand yourself, gain insight into how your experiences shape your life, and discover new ways to approach challenges. Whether you're dealing with stress, anxiety, relationship issues, or simply wanting to feel more grounded, therapy can help.
Instead of giving advice, my role as your therapist is to guide you in finding your own answers and creating the changes you want to see in your life. I’ll work with you to explore your strengths, build coping skills, and develop a clearer understanding of your goals.
If you're ready to take the first step towards positive change, I'm here to support you on your journey. Together, we can create a path that’s right for you.

What is your practicing approach?
I use an integrative approach to therapy, blending several modalities to fit each client's unique needs. While my style is down-to-earth and approachable, it’s also rooted in formal training and years of experience. I focus on creating a comfortable, non-judgmental space where we can work together to explore your challenges and strengths.
Whether we’re using cognitive techniques, mindfulness, somatic work, or other therapeutic methods, my goal is to support you in finding practical, meaningful solutions that resonate with your life. My approach balances professional expertise with a genuine, human connection, helping you feel understood and empowered to make lasting changes.
How long does therapy take?
The duration of therapy varies for each person, as everyone’s journey is unique. There is no “quick fix” in psychotherapy. Together, we will work at a pace that feels right for you, focusing on your individual needs and goals. At the end of each session, we will check in to reflect on your progress and decide on the best course of action moving forward.
What will my first session be like?
During your first session, we’ll take some time to go over a few intake questions. This helps me get to know you and understand where you’re starting from on your journey. It’s a simple and straightforward process, designed to make you feel comfortable.
We’ll also talk about your goals for therapy and, together, we’ll agree on a plan of care that’s tailored to your specific needs. I’ll be happy to answer any questions you have, and the focus is on creating a safe and open space for you right from the start..
What platform do you use for sessions?
I work exclusively online, using a secure platform that ensures your privacy and confidentiality. The platform I use is fully PHIPA compliant and stores all personal data on private Canadian servers, so you can be confident that your information is safe. Sessions take place from the comfort of your home, office, or any private space where you feel at ease. There's no need to download any software—each session will include a simple link that grants access to the secure, confidential client portal.
How do I start therapy with you?
To get started, I offer a free 30-minute phone consultation where we can explore your needs and see if we’re a good fit to work together. This call isn’t therapy—it’s an informal conversation where you can feel at ease, and you’ll have a chance to get to know me a little better.
If we both feel comfortable moving forward, we’ll agree on a date for your intake session and begin working towards your goals.
You can reach me here to set up the call.
What if I need to cancel a session?
Life happens, and I understand that unexpected situations can arise. If you need to cancel a session, I ask for notice whenever possible so I can offer flexibility and fill the time with another client.
If I need to cancel a session for any reason, you’ll receive a free session as a thank you for your understanding.
In cases of emergencies or illness, no cancellation fee will apply for either of us.
What is my investment for each session?
Psychotherapy sessions are 60 minutes long and are $160 per session.
I offer a full hour to ensure we have enough time to dive into meaningful work and hold a check-in at the end of each session to make sure your needs are met.
Payment is accepted via e-transfer. Following each session, I will provide you with a receipt that you can use for insurance reimbursement or as a medical expense when filing with the CRA at the end of the year.
Will my benefits cover your fee?
I am a Registered Psychotherapist with the College of Registered Psychotherapists of Ontario (CRPO). My registration number is 009017.
Most private healthcare plans do cover Registered Psychotherapists. CRA also accepts registered psychotherapy receipts as part of medical expense claims at the end of each tax year.
