Welcome!
I Acknowledge the strength that it takes to seek out therapy and hope to ease any concerns and guide you through the process of coming to therapy. Services are available in person or via teletherapy (online/phone) for Ontario Residents.
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) is a talk therapy that helps you change negative thinking patterns to improve your mental health.
Mindfulness in therapy involves cultivating awareness of thoughts and feelings in the present moment, without judgment, to gain greater control over your reactions.
Solution-focused therapy emphasizes building on a client's strengths to find practical solutions for the future.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) equips individuals with skills to manage intense emotions, improve relationships, and tolerate distress.

Teletherapy is offered via OnCall Health a secure and encrypted platform to provide on-line counselling sessions with clients.
Directly after scheduling their first appointment clients will receive an email invite to register with OnCall Health. Clients are also sent email reminders on the day of their scheduled appointment with a link to click on at the scheduled time of their appointment.
Clients simply join the on-line video counselling session by clicking on this link at the time of their scheduled appointment. Sessions are anonymous and are never recorded or stored.
On-line video counselling works well when clients are not available for in-office visits due to scheduling issues, inclement weather, immobilization due medical condition(s), etc. and prefer the visual cues that come with video.
