People and their healing journeys have fascinated me for as long as I can remember. I come from a family of supporters so a mental health therapist was a great fit for me. I have always had a genuine curiosity and passion for watching people heal. I always wanted to know the magic trick, and I found out that it's embedded in human nervous system and body. I specialize in helping individuals who have experienced attachment injury, disruption, or trauma across the lifespan. These wounds can manifest as emotional scars, communication challenges, or unresolved hurts, often within the complex dynamics of the family system.

Feeling anxious or depressed can get in the way of your work and personal life. You might have difficulty sleeping, trouble concentrating, low motivation, and suicidal thoughts. You might find yourself crying often, feeling on edge and easily frustrated. You may prefer to be alone and find it exhausting to respond to friends or family. It can feel like a chore to get up in the morning, and life can feel like more than you can manage. Daily tasks can become overwhelming to tackle, and you may feel shame and guilt about it all. Instead, imagine feeling confident, happy, and enjoying life. The right therapy can lead to these goals.

I believe every client has the wisdom and resilience they need to live meaningful and fulfilled lives. I work with adults and couples to explore and understand the beliefs that guide them in their relationships and behaviour. I see my role as a supportive scaffold which stands to enable my clients to embrace the vulnerability needed to heal. Each client's journey is informed by their mind and body; I incorporate information from these as we navigate the therapy process. In therapy I focus on issues of existence, including growth towards self-awareness and self-acceptance, and meaningful behavioural change.

My primary clinical focus is posttraumatic stress. I have approximately 15 years experience providing evidence-based cognitive-behavioural treatments (e.g., PE, CPT) to Veterans, serving members of the Canadian Armed Forces, police, firefighters, EMS professionals, and others struggling to cope with traumatic events like assaults or accidents. I also work extensively with Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder and a range of anxiety problems such as panic, generalized anxiety & worry, social anxiety, and specific phobias. Other problems I treat include insomnia, depression, and body-focussed repetitive behaviours (e.g., trichotillomania).

I help people find healthier ways of coping with life’s stress, change bad habits, and recover from life’s challenges. We'll explore, with curiosity, what purpose your habits might serve or used to serve. Then, from a place of understanding, we can discuss how to meet those same needs in ways that are better for you and your lifestyle now. I gained this experience working for 10-years with people in recovery from trauma, addiction, and mental illness and I believe that change is possible for anyone. But it's not easy to do on your own; I'm here to help.

Is everyone in the Psychology Today Therapy Directory a licensed therapist?
Most Counsellors and Psychotherapists listed in the directory are certified by one of the main professional associations, mainly the Canadian Counselling and Psychotherapy Association (CCPA), and will have a Certified Canadian Counsellor (CCC) designation with their name. Social Workers listed in the directory must be registered members of the college specific to their province. To be listed in the directory, Psychologists must be registered with the psychological college specific to their province or territory.
Providers whose professional membership or primary credential has been verified by Psychology Today are signified by a “Verified” symbol. Given the considerable variation in professional regulation and prerequisites across Canadian provinces, some providers may possess significant professional qualifications without necessarily holding professional memberships or being obliged to acquire them. As a result, they may be selectively included without the "Verified" seal.

What’s the difference between a psychologist, a therapist, and a counsellor?
Psychologists, counsellors, psychotherapists and social workers can all provide counselling or talking therapy and have credentials and supervised, practical experience that enable them to do so in Canada.
Psychologists have a master's and/or doctoral degree and have passed both written and oral exams. Psychologists are able to complete mental health assessments and provide diagnostic information to clients as well as provide counselling therapy or psychotherapy. Counsellors and psychotherapists are expected to have a master's or doctoral degree in counselling psychology, social work, or a related mental health discipline and certification by a professional association, such as the Canadian Counselling and Psychotherapy Association. Registered Social Workers possess a Bachelor's or Master's degree in Social Work and where possible must be licensed or certified by the provincial government and/or regulatory college.

Registered Social Workers possess a Bachelor's or Master's degree in Social Work and where possible must be licensed or certified by the provincial government and/or regulatory college.
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.
How much does therapy cost?
The cost of therapy depends on a number of variables, including location and the therapist’s experience and training. On average, the cost of a therapy session in Canada could be between $100 and $200. If you have insurance, the expense of mental health care is typically lower, but it varies based on your insurance plan details and whether you choose an in-network or out-of-network mental healthcare provider.
What are more affordable or low cost therapy solutions?
Many therapists offer sliding scale payments, usually on a limited number of slots, which consists in an agreement between the therapist and a client to pay a reduced rate. Therapists who provide such arrangements often consider the client's income or ability to pay, but the extent of the discount is ultimately at the therapist's discretion. Furthermore, while group therapy may have different goals and benefits compared to individual therapy, it can be a more affordable solution to address certain types of issues.
If you are struggling to access therapy due to budget constraints, you could also consider public funded mental health services. Some types of outpatient mental health services are covered by Medicare, provided these are performed by a licensed mental health professional in the provinces or territory you reside in and who accepts the assignment.

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.
Is online therapy a good option?
Therapy conducted online 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 postal code.
Are therapy sessions confidential?
Professionals licensed by regulatory colleges and those certified by associations such as the Canadian Counselling and Psychotherapy Association are obligated to uphold client confidentiality unless there is a legal reason that requires them to disclose information. Confidentiality is a crucial part of the therapeutic relationship and only under specific circumstances, such as when there is the potential or known harm to the client or others, or a court order, will a therapist be obligated to break the agreement. These exceptions to the confidentiality agreement are usually discussed during the initial consultation.
