Grief, anxiety, depression, loneliness, hurt. You have tried to put it behind you, sometimes it’s in the middle of the night, sometimes in the middle of the day when you least expect it. You feel like you should be coping, yet guilt and self-doubt creep in and it seems like nobody really understands what you’re going through.

I work with people carrying these invisible wounds, the ones that don’t always show on the outside but weigh heavily inside. Together, we move towards making sense of what’s happened, find ways to calm your nervous system, and rebuild trust in yourself and in your relationships.

My background as lead therapist in a rehabilitation treatment centre, and now in private practice, has given me deep experience in trauma and mental health. I’ve supported individuals and couples through trauma, addiction, PTSD, depression, and relationship struggles. What I’ve learned is that every story is unique, which is why my approach is always tailored to you, meeting you where you are, at your pace.

Our work together focuses on helping you develop healthier coping strategies, build resilience, and create lasting change. Most of all, it’s about finding your own way back to feeling grounded, connected, and more like yourself again.

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.
