I Care About Your Mental Health - With Experience

Welcome to my practice. I am a dedicated, solution-focused therapist with over 25 years of experience helping individuals and couples navigate life’s most complex emotional journeys. Through my virtual counselling services across Ontario, I provide a safe, compassionate, and honest space where you can find clarity, perspective, and relief from worry, confusion, and stress.

Because life does not stop at five o’clock, I offer flexible evening and weekend availability to ensure you can access support exactly when you need it most, entirely from the comfort and privacy of your own space.

My practice emphasizes a vital mind-body connection, integrating a deep personal and professional passion for physical wellness, healthy diet, digestive health, and pelvic health across the entire reproductive lifespan. I specialize in guiding clients through:

  • Fertility and Infertility Therapy: Supporting intended parents, donors, and gestational carriers through the clinical and emotional realities of family building.
  • Reproductive Health Support: Providing a comprehensive biopsychosocial framework for biological and life transitions across the lifespan.
  • Individual and Couples Therapy: Strengthening relationship foundations, rebuilding connection, and helping individuals navigate anxiety and life transitions.

Every hour counts toward your healing. If you are ready to find a clear path forward, please visit my About page to learn more about my approach, or click below to secure your session.

    WHO WE ARE

    Frequently Asked Questions.

    Can I Receive Counselling Anonymously?

    While all sessions are private and confidential, I am a regulated health professional and must maintain clinical records. However, your information is never shared without your written consent—except where legally required (e.g., risk of harm or child protection).

    What Should I Bring to My Counselling Sessions?

    Just yourself. You may also choose to bring notes, a list of concerns, or questions you’d like to explore. If the session is virtual, ensure you’re in a quiet, private space with a good internet connection.

    Do You Offer Support for Clients Who Cannot Afford Therapy?

    I understand that financial barriers can impact access to care. While I do not currently offer free services, I can provide resource referrals, and in some cases, offer reduced-fee sessions based on need and availability.
