About me
I am a Registered Social Worker and Psychotherapist, offering virtual therapy in Ontario, Alberta, and British Columbia.
​
I work with individuals who experience anxiety, perfectionism, and self-doubt—often feeling weighed down by shame or guilt. You might find it difficult to recognize or trust your emotions, second-guessing your needs or feeling disconnected from yourself. If you often feel pressure to meet expectations—whether in relationships, work, or daily life—therapy can offer a space to slow down, reflect, and explore what truly feels right for you.
Many of my clients experience challenges in social relationships—often feeling a deep sensitivity to what’s happening around them, yet unsure where they fit or how to connect in ways that feel true to them. Others feel deeply affected by past messages about which emotions were "acceptable" and which should be hidden, making it difficult to trust their own emotional experiences. Together, we can explore these patterns, helping you build a more compassionate relationship with yourself and your emotions.
​
In our sessions, I aim to help you:
✔ Recognize and build on your strengths
✔ Develop a deeper understanding of your emotions
✔ Explore past coping patterns with curiosity and care
✔ Find ways of moving through the world that align with your needs
Through curiosity and compassion, therapy can help you deepen your self-understanding and create space for new ways of relating to yourself and others.

Psychotherapy is covered by many insurance plans. Please check with your insurance provider to see if coverage is provided to social workers. You will receive a receipt after each payment that you can send to your insurance company for reimbursement or use for tax purposes.
-
Are you covered by insurance?Insurance providers may cover psychotherapy fees either fully or partially, depending on the specifics of your extended health insurance plan. To determine your coverage, it’s helpful to ask your insurer the following questions: Does my plan include mental health benefits? How much is covered for psychotherapy services provided by a Registered Social Worker (RSW)? I provide receipts after each session, which you can submit to your insurance provider for reimbursement.
-
How do I get started?Getting started is simple. Reach out to schedule a free 20-minute consultation via phone or video call. This initial consultation gives us the opportunity to connect and allows you to share what brings you to therapy. It’s also a chance for me to answer any questions you have to ensure you feel comfortable and confident in finding the right therapist. Whether you're seeking support for anxiety, depression, perfectionism, or emotional well-being, this consultation can help us determine how best to move forward.

What kind of therapy do you offer?I provide individual psychotherapy for adults, drawing from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Psychodynamic Therapy, and Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT). My approach is rooted in the warmth and support of Person-Centered Therapy, creating a space where you can explore your thoughts, emotions, and patterns of relating at your own pace. Many of my clients feel overwhelmed by their emotions or struggle to connect with them, often second-guessing their needs or reactions. You may have received messages about which emotions are ‘acceptable’ and which should be hidden, making it difficult to trust your own inner experiences. In therapy, we’ll work together to untangle these patterns, helping you develop a more affirming and intuitive relationship with your emotions—where feelings serve as meaningful signals rather than sources of distress or confusion. I also work with individuals who find social interactions complex or draining, whether due to differences in emotional processing, communication styles, or sensitivity to their environment. My approach is flexible and responsive, helping clients better understand their experiences and develop strategies that align with their needs, values, and way of engaging with the world.
-
What is virtual psychotherapy?Virtual psychotherapy is the process of delivering therapy sessions online through secure video conferencing. I use NousTalk, a PHIPA-compliant platform with encrypted connections to ensure privacy and confidentiality. This virtual approach allows clients to receive professional therapy from the comfort of their own homes, making it more convenient and accessible for individuals in Ontario, Alberta, and British Columbia. Whether you're managing anxiety, depression, perfectionism, or other challenges, virtual therapy offers a flexible and secure way to work towards mental wellness.
-
What is your availability?I am typically available for sessions from Tuesday to Friday, between 8:00 AM and 5:00 PM EST/EDT. I offer daytime appointments to support those who prefer sessions during working hours or quieter moments of the day.
