Virtual Individual Therapy
I’m committed to offering compassionate, judgment-free counselling on a wide variety of problems, including:
Life transitions
Life transitions encompass significant life changes that can trigger a mix of emotions, from excitement to anxiety. These changes, whether anticipated or unexpected, can impact your emotions, thoughts, and behaviors. Examples include breakup recovery, separation, divorce, retirement, or moving to a new country. While “life transitions” is not a clinical diagnosis itself, troubles adapting to change can lead to diagnosable mental health conditions, such as adjustment disorder, depression, or anxiety. Seeking support from a trained therapist can make a huge difference and help you to thrive in your new circumstances. I offer personalized counselling using a blend of intuitive insight and proven techniques. Whether you’re looking to manage anxiety, depression, or stress during these transitions or seeking personal growth, my individual therapy sessions are designed to meet your specific needs.

I take the time to understand you, your values, experiences, and aspirations.
Teen Therapy
In the often turbulent world of adolescence, I’m here to be that trusted person teens can turn to when they feel misunderstood. My aim is to establish trust, create a safe space, and help teens navigate life’s challenges. Together, we work towards their goal of becoming self-reliant, resourceful, and content adults.
Teen-Centered Approach: I begin with a session involving parents, but then I prioritize empowering teens to lead their therapeutic journey. We believe in their abilities and give them space to explore their thoughts and feelings.
Supporting Healthy Boundaries: Teens naturally establish boundaries with their parents during this phase of development. Having a strong therapeutic bond ensures they have a safe, supportive adult to assist in this process.
Flexible Duration of Therapy: The length of therapy varies for each teen. I recommend starting with weekly sessions for at least eight weeks, then adjusting based on their unique needs and goals.
Evidence-Based, Ethical, and Safe Care: I provide evidence-based, ethical, and safe interventions to support your teen’s well-being. I’m committed to their emotional and psychological health every step of the way.
Anxiety, Depression, Shame, and Self-Worth Struggles
Navigate anxiety, depression, shame, and self-worth challenges with compassionate support. Together, we’ll work on evidence-based strategies to restore balance, confidence, and emotional well-being.
Stress/PTSD
Stress can take a toll on your mental and physical health. I provide practical methods to manage and reduce stress, enhancing your overall well-being. Learn how to regain control and live a more balanced life.
Trauma
Trauma can leave lasting scars, but healing is possible. I offer a safe space to process and overcome the impact of traumatic experiences. Let’s work together to reclaim your strength and resilience.
Affirming Therapy – Identity Support
Navigating issues related to sexual orientation and gender identity can be challenging. I provide affirming and understanding support to help you explore and embrace your authentic self. Your journey is valid, and I’m here to assist you every step of the way.
