I know it isn’t easy reaching out for help and support as there are often so many unknowns!

You may be experiencing anxiety, low self-esteem, depression and other difficult emotions that are affecting how you feel about yourself and how you relate to others. My aim is to support you with whatever you have that is going on. We will work together to explore your world so you can gain a deeper understanding of your unique situation and self in order to feel better.

My approach is Integrative: meaning, I will use a diverse range of approaches to work with you. However, at the core of everything is you and what feels right for you. Counselling is a transformative process and one you won’t have to go through it on your own.

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.
