​individual Psychotherapy& counselling

I understand how challenging it can be to find the right therapist, and how much bravery it takes to ask for help.

I hope that this description will allow you to envision what it would be like to work together and encourage you to reach out.
what i can help you with
I am passionate about supporting adults (ages 18+)*  to address issues with anxiety, worry, low mood, stress, life transitions, grief/loss and interpersonal issues.

We are likely a good fit to work together if you…
  • often feel overwhelmed or down
  • find it hard to stop worrying or dwelling on the past
  • feel heartbroken by grief or loss
  • are having difficulties adjusting to a life change
  • are stuck in old habits
  • are very critical of yourself 
  • often compare yourself to others and how you think life should be
  • are having issues in relationships

*At this time I am not offering therapy for children, families or couples.
WHAT IT'S LIKE TO WORK WITH ME
  • I will always approach you with compassion and curiosity and strive to create a space where you will feel comfortable to be yourself.
  • Our sessions together will be a balance of exploration and action. This means, we will explore how your past has shaped you, how patterns in thinking and behaviour keep you stuck, and how your strengths keep you going. 
  • We will use self-discovery to motivate us towards making meaningful changes, by integrating new knowledge and skills into your daily life. 
  • We will talk about the hard stuff, but we will also laugh and celebrate your successes and use humour where appropriate. 
changes YOU MAY NOTICE AFTER WORKING WITH ME
There are no guaranteed outcomes in therapy, however, here are some common changes many clients notice after working with me:
  • Deeper self-awareness, and ability to recognize the patterns in thinking and behaviour that get you stuck
  • Greater understanding and appreciation of your past and how it shaped you to be the person you are today
  • Confidence in your ability to use a variety of strategies to manage difficult emotions, thoughts and situations more effectively
  • Making changes that are aligned with your values
  • Improved self-compassion and prioritization of your self-care
  • Sense of ease and fulfillment in your life and relationships
  • Motivation and commitment to continue along on your personal growth journey

​WELCOME TO THe ​VIRTUAL OFFICE
At this time, I am offering all of my services virtually. Virtual therapy ensures our work stays flexible and can adapt to your unique needs. 

Some of the benefits of virtual therapy are:
  • Time and Money: No need to commute to sessions or pay for transportation.
  • Comfort and Safety: You can attend therapy from a confidential space of your choosing.
  • Accessible and Secure: Use any device (phone, tablet, computer) to access 
    Owl Practice, a PIPEDA (federal) and PHIPA (provincial) compliant virtual platform specifically designed for therapists to connect with you for video sessions and protect your privacy.
  • Effective: ​Research has shown that participating in virtual therapy can be just as helpful as in-person sessions.
