What are you going through? Let’s work together in a safe, non-judgmental space to overcome challenges, meet your needs, and be the best version of yourself. I believe that people have an innate desired outcome for their lives and have the capacity to change their narratives.

I am a registered social worker with over 15 years of work experience. I have helped people who experience issues such as: depression, anxiety, addiction, abuse, trauma, anger, LGBTQ-related issues, relationship issues, grief, and family conflict. My journey into social work began at age 14, when I lost my father to cancer. Because there were few supports available at the time, I felt alone and stuck. This prompted me to dedicate my life to assisting others during difficult times, and help them realize they are not alone.

In life, there are moments when we feel stuck and unable to move forward, even when we are surrounded by the beauty of the world. Everyone deserves a safe space to explore vulnerabilities without judgment. As a therapist, I approach each session with warmth, empathy, compassion, and respect. Many people who experience feelings of sadness or anxiety try to avoid these emotions rather than expressing them, but I believe everyone has the capacity to grow and transform their behavior. My goal is to help clients recognize and build upon their strengths and resilience. Seeking guidance from a therapist is an important step towards healing

We all experience circumstances in our lives that can be challenging to manage, and I understand that choosing therapy can be a vulnerable and difficult choice. But I want you to know that is also an empowering choice, and I’m here to support you with that. A little bit of who I am : I’ve worked within the mental health sector for over a decade in the social services field, specifically in hospital and community-based settings. Having lived in India and Canada, I am familiar with life transitions and acculturation issues facing immigrants, first and second-generation Canadians.

I understand that at the center of effective therapy is a strong client/therapist relationship. My approach to working with clients is collaborative, client-centered, and empathic.

I help adults move from anxiety, self-doubt and burnout towards confidence and inner peace. My clients are adults who have noticed that their anxiety and overthinking are due to more than just stress - they stem from deeper patterns shaped by their upbringing. They tend to be people-pleasers who are analytical and reflective, aware that their fear of judgment together with their avoidance of conflict, is holding them back in life. They’ve noticed a connection between their own emotional struggles & how their families managed emotions. Most of all, they’re ready to lead their lives from a place of inner calm and self-trust.

As a Board Certified Behaviour Analyst, my team and I have helped many children and adolescents with autism and other diagnoses develop the skills they need to help them thrive. Right now you may be in uncharted waters from a new diagnosis, or today may have been a hard day working through meltdowns. The behaviour challenges are becoming too much. You are looking for a professional who can help you understand why the behaviours are happening, how to change it, and teach them new skills.

The relationship between our physical body and our self confidence is a complicated one. I help clients face long-standing beliefs about their self-worth, body image, eating and wellness behaviours. In addition to collaborating on improving your maladaptive self-related behaviours, we also may explore certain influences to your beliefs such as your relationships, culture, and other intersections in your identity. Ideally, my client enters therapy to reach self-understanding and compassion through implementing adaptive changes in your behaviour and cognition.

Is everyone in the Psychology Today Therapy Directory a licensed therapist?
Most Counsellors and Psychotherapists listed in the directory are certified by one of the main professional associations, mainly the Canadian Counselling and Psychotherapy Association (CCPA), and will have a Certified Canadian Counsellor (CCC) designation with their name. Social Workers listed in the directory must be registered members of the college specific to their province. To be listed in the directory, Psychologists must be registered with the psychological college specific to their province or territory.
Providers whose professional membership or primary credential has been verified by Psychology Today are signified by a “Verified” symbol. Given the considerable variation in professional regulation and prerequisites across Canadian provinces, some providers may possess significant professional qualifications without necessarily holding professional memberships or being obliged to acquire them. As a result, they may be selectively included without the "Verified" seal.

What’s the difference between a psychologist, a therapist, and a counsellor?
Psychologists, counsellors, psychotherapists and social workers can all provide counselling or talking therapy and have credentials and supervised, practical experience that enable them to do so in Canada.
Psychologists have a master's and/or doctoral degree and have passed both written and oral exams. Psychologists are able to complete mental health assessments and provide diagnostic information to clients as well as provide counselling therapy or psychotherapy. Counsellors and psychotherapists are expected to have a master's or doctoral degree in counselling psychology, social work, or a related mental health discipline and certification by a professional association, such as the Canadian Counselling and Psychotherapy Association. Registered Social Workers possess a Bachelor's or Master's degree in Social Work and where possible must be licensed or certified by the provincial government and/or regulatory college.

What type of therapy is right for me?
The type of therapy best suited to a particular individual depends on several factors, including their primary reason for seeking therapy, their preferred timeline (some therapy types last for a set number of sessions, while others are open-ended), and their personality and preferences—some may prefer a more structured approach. For many individuals, multiple types of therapy could provide a good fit.
How much does therapy cost?
The cost of therapy depends on a number of variables, including location and the therapist’s experience and training. On average, the cost of a therapy session in Canada could be between $100 and $200. If you have insurance, the expense of mental health care is typically lower, but it varies based on your insurance plan details and whether you choose an in-network or out-of-network mental healthcare provider.
What are more affordable or low cost therapy solutions?
Many therapists offer sliding scale payments, usually on a limited number of slots, which consists in an agreement between the therapist and a client to pay a reduced rate. Therapists who provide such arrangements often consider the client's income or ability to pay, but the extent of the discount is ultimately at the therapist's discretion. Furthermore, while group therapy may have different goals and benefits compared to individual therapy, it can be a more affordable solution to address certain types of issues.
If you are struggling to access therapy due to budget constraints, you could also consider public funded mental health services. Some types of outpatient mental health services are covered by Medicare, provided these are performed by a licensed mental health professional in the provinces or territory you reside in and who accepts the assignment.

Is online therapy cheaper than in-person therapy?
Many therapists charge the same amount for online therapy as they do for in-person therapy—though clients may still find this cost-effective if it cuts down on their transportation costs. Health insurance plans often offer equivalent coverage for online and in-person therapy; indeed, in many places, they are legally required to do so. Text-based or on-demand therapy apps may be cheaper than traditional one-on-one psychotherapy; however, the practice may be less effective and is not likely to be covered by insurance.
Is online therapy a good option?
Therapy conducted online can be just as effective as in-person therapy, as long as there is a strong alliance between the client and the therapist. To find a therapist who provides telehealth services to clients in your area, click “Online Therapy” on the directory homepage and search by your city or town or your postal code.
Are therapy sessions confidential?
Professionals licensed by regulatory colleges and those certified by associations such as the Canadian Counselling and Psychotherapy Association are obligated to uphold client confidentiality unless there is a legal reason that requires them to disclose information. Confidentiality is a crucial part of the therapeutic relationship and only under specific circumstances, such as when there is the potential or known harm to the client or others, or a court order, will a therapist be obligated to break the agreement. These exceptions to the confidentiality agreement are usually discussed during the initial consultation.
