Your life reality does not match the vision you had and now you are feeling down, somewhat anxious, and maybe unsettled. You may be feeling like you want to make a move towards accomplishing your goals but you reel stuck. Your might be in conflict with family, friends, and co-workers but you are certainly in conflict with yourself. Your inner critic (the voice we all have in our heads) has an overpowering voice which is resulting in you not making a move and simply put - not feeling happy. You want more but you're not sure how to get it and you want to feel that core happiness you've heard others talk about.

I am a registered psychotherapist with over 35 years of experience, providing psychotherapy in university, hospital, and hospice settings, and currently working in private practice. My areas of specialization include Contemplative psychotherapy, loss, aging, and supervision of qualifying psychotherapists. My clients are often interested in exploring the big questions about life, such as: How do I cope with and make sense of loss, illness, or change? How do I live with purpose and commitment? Am I being true to my values? What would I do if I wasn't fearful? What is Love? and, How do I let go?

There’s a lot that holds us back from trying therapy. We may think we need a serious problem to see a therapist. But therapy is for everyone. Because, as humans, we experience sadness, stress, anxiety, and emotional dysregulation. The only qualification to go to therapy is to be human. You may ask, why not talk to a friend? Because friends aren’t properly trained to listen. As you attend therapy, patterns and insights begin to emerge, old wounds open up, and traumas are acknowledged. Going to therapy is a sign of sanity, a commitment to your mental health and a better future.

Do you experience chronic pain? Have you been diagnosed with a chronic illness? Chronic pain / illness can impact so many areas of your life - your ability to work, maintain your home or garden, and participate in activities with your family and friends. Living with chronic pain / illness can be exhausting, overwhelming and so very frustrating. Many people who experience daily pain begin to struggle with stress, anxiety and /or depression, which increases their pain and makes it even harder to cope. Worried that group therapy "isn't for you"? I invite you to give us a chance to show you how enjoyable and helpful it can be.

Life can be hard, and at times we can feel overwhelmed. Sometimes, our circumstances change when we separate or divorce, lose a loved one, change careers, have to deal with complex family dynamics, experience health challenges, or encounter other events that make it difficult to manage our feelings and behaviours, or sustain relationships with those closest to us.

We practice from an Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) standpoint. We're less interested in labels or in figuring out what’s “broken”, preferring to work with you to find ways to shift processes to help you with your goals. We have experience in providing both brief and longer-term treatment that is evidence-based (i.e., shown to work). We try to help you within your timeframe. We see the psychologist and client both as “real people”, having “real” conversations, about “real life”, to make real changes that are really important to you.

I believe that everyone is doing their best at any given moment and that everyone has the ability to heal. Many people I work with are tired of old patterns of behaviours, thoughts and beliefs interfering in their lives. They hold a curiosity about wanting to learn more about their emotions, relationships with others and their inner world. With compassion, I support individuals to engage in exploring how such patterns, thoughts and beliefs are held within the body, impacting their relationship with themselves and others.

Is online therapy as effective as in-person?
Numerous studies suggest that online therapy can be as effective as in-person therapy. However, further research is needed to determine if online therapy provides the same benefits across all client populations. Individuals with severe mental illnesses, such as schizophrenia or bipolar disorder, or those who may benefit from in-person check-ins, like those with eating disorders, may not experience the same level of benefit from online therapy. Nonetheless, the success of online therapy, much like in-person therapy, often hinges on the quality of the therapeutic relationship between the therapist and the client rather than the specific modality of therapy used.
What are the advantages and disadvantages of therapy conducted online?
One of the main advantages of online therapy is its convenience for both clients and therapists. It also allows clients who require specialised therapy to access a wider range of professionals than they could with only in-person sessions. Additionally, online therapy may be a more affordable option in some cases and often offers the same insurance benefits as in-person therapy. However, online therapy may not be suitable for everyone, especially those who value face-to-face interaction with a therapist. Therapists may find it more challenging to assess clients accurately in an online setting due to reduced nonverbal cues on camera. There is also the increased risk that disruptions caused by external factors, such as technology malfunctions, can hinder the therapy session. For these reasons, many therapists offer a "hybrid" therapeutic approach, alternating between seeing clients in-person and online.
Is online therapy suitable for children and adolescents?
Just like with adults, the accessibility and convenience of online therapy can greatly benefit children and adolescents. In fact, children and adolescents may be more accustomed to navigating online platforms than older adults, making online sessions feel more natural for them. Teens might also be interested in using additional online tools, such as therapist-recommended apps, as an adjunct to online therapy sessions. Apps for developing CBT skills, practicing mindfulness exercises, or tracking thoughts and moods can be helpful for teens receiving therapy. However, it's important to note that not all therapeutic modalities are well-suited to online therapy, especially those used with younger children. For example, play therapy, which helps younger children express their emotions, often requires in-person sessions to be fully effective.
Can I receive prescriptions and medication management with online therapy?
The ability for psychiatrists to prescribe medications through online therapy varies based on the medication and the states where the medical professional and client are located. While many prescribing regulations were relaxed during the COVID-19 pandemic, some states still enforce rules, especially concerning controlled substances, which may mandate an in-person visit before prescribing. Generally, however, medical professionals can prescribe non-controlled substances through online therapy sessions just as they do during in-person sessions.
