I believe that everyone has within themselves the power to change; to that end, I offer a warm, calm, non-judgemental environment in which you can explore the thoughts that trouble you. The therapeutic experience is yours, I will help you navigate your feelings and support you in understanding how this impacts your life.

​I work with a range of clients from young adults to senior citizens covering issues such as depression, anxiety, low self-esteem, bereavement and trauma. I also have a lived experience of neurodiversity and the challenges this can bring.

I have experience in helping clients with stress, anxiety, coping with grief, coping with loss, parenting issues, motivation, self esteem, & confidence. I also have experience working with depression. I believe that you are the expert of your story and that you have many strengths that will assist you in overcoming things that challenge you. It takes courage to seek out a more fulfilling and happier life and to take the first steps towards a change. I am here to support & empower you in that journey.

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.
