Question 1

Do you work with Teens and Young Adults?

Accepted Answer

Yes! I specialize in supporting teens and young adults as they navigate life’s challenges. This stage of life is full of change, and I provide a safe, non-judgmental space where young people can talk openly, feel heard, and develop practical tools to manage stress and emotions.

I help with a range of concerns, including: Anxiety, stress, and overwhelm; Low mood or depression; school pressures and academic stress; Friendship and relationship challenges; Family conflict and communication; Self-esteem and confidence building; Life transitions, like moving away for school; Managing emotions and building resilience.

Whether your teen/young adult is struggling with a specific issue or just needs extra support, I’m here to help.

Question 2

Do you offer support for couples?

Accepted Answer

Yes! I provide couples counselling using evidence-based approaches, including Gottman Method Couples Therapy. This method is rooted in decades of research and focuses on strengthening relationships through improved communication, conflict resolution, and deeper emotional connection.

Whether you're facing recurring conflicts, feeling disconnected, or looking to strengthen your bond, I help couples build trust, navigate challenges, and develop practical skills for a healthier, more fulfilling relationship.

Question 3

Do you offer in-person and virtual sessions?

Accepted Answer

Yes! I offer both virtual counselling across Ontario and in-person sessions in Metcalfe (Ottawa), ON. Virtual sessions provide flexibility, while in-person sessions offer a more traditional experience - whatever works best for you.

Question 4

How do online therapy sessions work?

Accepted Answer

Online therapy is a convenient and secure way to receive support through a confidential video platform (I use the Jane App). These sessions offer the same personalized care as in-person therapy, with the added flexibility to access them from any private space. You’ll be able to work through challenges in a way that fits your schedule and lifestyle.

Question 5

What can I expect from my first session?

Accepted Answer

The first session is a chance for us to get to know each other. We’ll discuss what brought you to counselling, your goals, and how I can best support you. It’s also an opportunity for you to ask any questions about the process.

Question 6

How many sessions will I need?

Accepted Answer

The number of sessions varies depending on your needs and goals. Some clients find relief in just a few sessions, while others prefer ongoing support. We’ll work together to determine the best approach for you.
