Frequently asked questions
Questions? You're in the right place.
Here are answers to some of the questions I hear most often:
-
I work with women navigating anxiety, burnout, emotional overwhelm, and the pressure of holding everything together for everyone else. Therapy focuses on understanding the patterns underneath these experiences so they no longer have to run your life.
I also support couples who feel stuck in the same painful patterns, disconnected from one another, or unsure how to move forward after conflict or a breach of trust.
-
Yes. I offer secure online therapy for adults and couples anywhere in Ontario. Many clients find online sessions just as effective as meeting in person, with the added convenience of attending from home, work, or another private space. Whether you're seeking support for anxiety, burnout, or relationship challenges, online therapy can provide the same thoughtful, connected experience.
-
Therapy isn't just for moments of crisis. If you're feeling overwhelmed, disconnected from yourself, or exhausted from holding everything together, you don't have to wait until things get worse before reaching out.

There's nothing you need to prepare or get right beforehand. The first session is simply a chance for us to slow down, understand what's bringing you here, and begin making sense of your experience together.
-
Sessions are guided by your goals and what you're hoping will feel different. Together, we'll make sense of your emotions and relationship patterns so you can begin responding to them in new ways.
You don't need to have the right words or know exactly where to start. We'll go at a pace that feels manageable for you.
-
Most clients start with weekly or biweekly sessions so we can build consistency and better understand what's going on.
Whether you're working through anxiety, burnout, or relationship concerns, we'll decide together what feels most supportive and adjust the pace as your needs change.
There's no pressure to move faster than feels right.
-
There isn't a one-size-fits-all answer. Everyone comes to therapy with different experiences, goals, and starting points.
Some people notice small shifts early on, while for others change happens more gradually. What matters most is taking the time to understand the patterns underneath what you're experiencing so you can begin responding differently.
We'll move at a pace that feels right for you.
-
You don't need to come in with the right words or a clear plan. Many people arrive feeling overwhelmed, unsure where to start, or worried they'll "do therapy wrong."
We'll start wherever you are and make sense of things together.
-
Yes. Couples therapy is for partners who want to better understand the patterns they're caught in and find new ways of connecting. Whether you're having the same arguments, feeling distant, struggling after a breach of trust, or simply want to strengthen your relationship, we'll work together to understand what's happening beneath the surface and create lasting change.
Relationship stress can also contribute to anxiety and burnout, making it even harder to feel connected.
