At times in our lives we feel lost, overwhelmed and need focused support and reflection to shift our attitude and uncover what it truly creating barriers and stress in our lives and shift towards a healthier and more positive authentic version of ourselves. My goal is to listen and respond with acceptance, compassion, and empathy, providing the space for you to safely explore what is causing you stress, anxiety or sadness, or what is stopping you from feeling fulfilled in your life. Together I believe we are capable of making positive progress towards your goals, especially with the support of being truly understood and validated.

Shame dies when stories are told in safe spaces... and that is exactly what I'm hoping to offer my clients; A safe and supportive space for people to talk about those hard things, working through interpersonal struggles and relationships, and finding ways to thrive when it feels like life is overwhelming, or not what you were expecting. I have a friendly, relaxed style and offer a safe, compassionate, and non-judgemental space to connect. I see it as a privilege to hear about your most personal struggles, and to support you through your growth and healing journey. I am currently only seeing clients virtually.

Life isn't going as planned? Having difficulties connecting with your partner, or being able to relate to your children? Perhaps you're feeling isolated, alone, or lost, possibly out of control. These are all signals that life is currently not in balance. If you're finding that your current day to day is not what you had hoped, not what you intend it to be then I commend you for looking for a resource that can help you get back on track.

If you want to learn, to grow, and to heal you can go to therapy. Therapy is unique in that it treats problems (medical model) as well as improves an already decent life (wellness model). Therapy is effective for helping painful experiences become tolerable. It is a proven method for changing harmful thinking, relational patterns, and behavioral patterns. By helping achieve your potential and a healthy well-being, it can also be used to make good lives great. It can even expand and explore spiritual aspirations.

I believe in an integrated, person-centered approach as I recognize that therapy is not a one-size-fits-all and must be tailored to the specific needs of the individual. I encourage the development of trust, collaboration, and respect through a non-judgmental and down to earth approach, meeting you where you are at, to create a safe and inclusive environment. Trauma can create a profound impact on an individuals mind, body and relationships, but with the right support, I firmly believe that it is possible to grow and heal from trauma, no matter how long ago the trauma may have occurred.

The decision to access counselling is a personal one. Whether you've been to a counsellor before, or you are just starting to explore the options, thank you. Not just for reading this - but for taking the time to look into what is available and what may be right for you. People generally come to therapy for a reason, such as a specific event that they would like to discuss, or to work through uncomfortable emotions. Together, we can prioritize goals, explore and work through issues, develop new coping strategies, and create a plan to determine next steps.

Is online therapy as effective as in-person?
Numerous studies suggest that online therapy can be as effective as in-person therapy. However, further research is needed to determine if online therapy provides the same benefits across all client populations. Individuals with severe mental illnesses, such as schizophrenia or bipolar disorder, or those who may benefit from in-person check-ins, like those with eating disorders, may not experience the same level of benefit from online therapy. Nonetheless, the success of online therapy, much like in-person therapy, often hinges on the quality of the therapeutic relationship between the therapist and the client rather than the specific modality of therapy used.
What are the advantages and disadvantages of therapy conducted online?
One of the main advantages of online therapy is its convenience for both clients and therapists. It also allows clients who require specialised therapy to access a wider range of professionals than they could with only in-person sessions. Additionally, online therapy may be a more affordable option in some cases and often offers the same insurance benefits as in-person therapy. However, online therapy may not be suitable for everyone, especially those who value face-to-face interaction with a therapist. Therapists may find it more challenging to assess clients accurately in an online setting due to reduced nonverbal cues on camera. There is also the increased risk that disruptions caused by external factors, such as technology malfunctions, can hinder the therapy session. For these reasons, many therapists offer a "hybrid" therapeutic approach, alternating between seeing clients in-person and online.
Is online therapy suitable for children and adolescents?
Just like with adults, the accessibility and convenience of online therapy can greatly benefit children and adolescents. In fact, children and adolescents may be more accustomed to navigating online platforms than older adults, making online sessions feel more natural for them. Teens might also be interested in using additional online tools, such as therapist-recommended apps, as an adjunct to online therapy sessions. Apps for developing CBT skills, practicing mindfulness exercises, or tracking thoughts and moods can be helpful for teens receiving therapy. However, it's important to note that not all therapeutic modalities are well-suited to online therapy, especially those used with younger children. For example, play therapy, which helps younger children express their emotions, often requires in-person sessions to be fully effective.
Can I receive prescriptions and medication management with online therapy?
The ability for psychiatrists to prescribe medications through online therapy varies based on the medication and the states where the medical professional and client are located. While many prescribing regulations were relaxed during the COVID-19 pandemic, some states still enforce rules, especially concerning controlled substances, which may mandate an in-person visit before prescribing. Generally, however, medical professionals can prescribe non-controlled substances through online therapy sessions just as they do during in-person sessions.
