My clients are often… 1) Those struggling with anxiety, racing thoughts, and high stress. 2) Young professionals navigating the stressors of life transitions, relationship issues or family drama, the weirdness of being in their 20’s & early 30’s, all whilst trying to build their career and find success. 3) Men of all ages navigating relationship issues, anxiety, career change, men’s issues or other stressors. 4) Folks who struggle to set boundaries, articulating their needs or building confidence. 5) Those looking for a therapist that doesn’t feel stuffy and formal or mushy gushy - someone they can be comfortable with.

Change, growth, challenges, and transitions are inevitable, unavoidable, and often completely unexpected in life resulting in small traumas that can still cause significant distress in daily functioning. A part of being human involves having perceived “demons” in our closets or events we experienced in our past or childhood that may impact our present-day functioning. You may have unintentionally learned that repressing or not talking about these small traumas is the “appropriate” way to cope but it may not be working resulting in you feeling overwhelmed, stressed, upset, and like you are spinning out of control.

Do you find yourself to be very self-critical and worried about what other people think of you? You’re someone who puts yourself second to make sure other people are happy, but still find yourself anxious, feeling burnout, and thinking you're not “good enough”. You may be worried to change because you’re scared your friends and loved ones will stop liking you. But you’re ready to make a change. You’re ready to set boundaries with those around you. You’re ready to stop ruminating on negative thoughts. Most of all, you’re ready to love yourself and embrace your strengths and weaknesses. I want to help you get there.

Opening up is difficult. Often we're told to deal with it, or that things will get better. Maybe you’re going through a transition, feeling overwhelmed, tired, or stuck. Maybe you’ve been feeling an emotion you’ve been told you’re not supposed to feel. Navigating these conflicting thoughts and feelings can be a lot to manage, but you do not have to manage them alone. Maybe you feel like your problems are too big or too small. Maybe you feel like something is just a passing thought and is not worth bringing up. When working with me, nothing is off the table – if it’s important to you, then it is important to me.

Conflicts in relationships are inevitable! It’s how we adapt & overcome them that makes the difference. These conflicts can be circumstantial or rooted in anxieties from the past and may not look like your typical conflict. Perhaps you find yourself experiencing the same anxious thoughts or maybe you're stuck in the same negative patterns that you can't seem to break as a couple. Interpersonal and internal conflict can leave us feeling stuck, confused, stressed, overwhelmed, or depressed. Most importantly, recognizing that fear is an emotion we all experience and discovering how fear operates for you is okay to explore.

Online Counsellors

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.
