Are you finding everything too stressful right now? Have the last few years been just too much? Whether it is work, relationship, family, or just the stress of trying to make it through the week, I can help. No matter how good our friends or family are, it can be so helpful to have someone with an outside perspective to talk with and help sort through things. Our past does impact our present and understanding the ways we respond to the world can make it all so much easier. If you are looking for a therapist who will be supportive and non-judgemental while guiding you towards more self understanding and confidence, I can help.

No wait list - Virtual Only: I am not a generalist, I specifically work with Disordered Eating and Sport Performance Specifically in the domains of Anorexia, Orthorexia, Binge Eating, Bulimia, and youth athletes looking to take a leap to the next level. Navigating the relentless mental chatter surrounding food, self-image, or performance can be draining. While you may seem in control to the outside world, internally, you are struggling. Does your inner critic overshadow your every step? Using my personal and professional experience I work with the individual in totality to understand the problems and create viable solutions.

Everyone has unique challenges and needs; however, we all share the same need to feel heard, understood and supported. Simply put, when we are authentically seen and heard, the way in which we navigate our lives and its challenges improves. It is important to me that I meet all clients with genuine empathy, honesty, and acceptance. I enjoy working from a strengths-based, positive therapeutic approach, and I believe that as the client, you are the expert of your own experience. My aim is to offer non-judgmental and open-minded insight and assistance in exploring the varying concerns you may bring to counselling.

There are so many issues that men experience that many therapists do not pay attention to. I get it, it's not easy managing all your different roles. I assume, as a kid, you were taught that "men don't cry". Having no emotions, or "just deal with it" was encouraged by others. Now, as an adult, you may be accused of "being heartless" or "emotionless". Maybe you feel lost, angry, or confused. You've been through a lot, and there isn't a place for you to work to make sense of everything that is going on. You've tried so many strategies, but your attempts only leave you feeling like a failure

I believe that relationship and connection is the context for raising children. I am a facilitator of the Dr. Gordon Neufeld paradigm where I assist parents and professionals to make sense of children from the inside out. I practice from a developmental attachment framework that uses insight to inform interventions and practices. The realization of human potential is my focus.

You know well the feeling of being "stuck" - stuck in your life, career, relationship. The main problem is, the longer you put things off, the more you get that nagging feeling that you've got to do something. I've been there. The first important way to get yourself out of this space... is to imagine what it's like after you've gotten over the hump. You can imagine it now.

My passion is supporting teenagers facing challenges like anxiety, depression, trauma, low self-esteem, self-harm, grief, and unhealthy relationships. Despite these struggles, youth are resilient and seek therapy to learn skills for mood improvement and personal growth. Therapy is not an easy process and it works best when you are ready and open to work collaboratively to explore emotions, are eager to challenge negative patterns, and committed to developing resilience. Ultimately, we can work together to discover ways to live a more fulfilling life, through personal growth and transformation.

I understand your struggles. Do you find yourself lying awake at night, staring at the ceiling, unable to quiet your mind? Or perhaps you wake up feeling exhausted, despite spending hours in bed? Are you constantly feeling overwhelmed, on the verge of burnout, and struggling to keep up with the demands of your career and personal life? You have tried all the remedies, such as lavender oil, white noise, and relaxation, but nothing seems to be working. You want restful sleep because you understand the importance of sleep and well-being in leading a fulfilling life.

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.

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.
