Online Therapy and Consultation
What is online therapy, and is it right for me?
In a nutshell, this means all of our sessions will be held over secure video chat. This way you can meet with me from wherever is best for you at the time. Research shows that online counselling is just as effective as in-person counselling. As a person living with a physical disability (I use an electric wheelchair), I know it can sometimes be quite cumbersome to get to in-person appointments. Everyone faces obstacles of their own, even beyond physical abilities. I see online therapy as a way to eliminate some of these obstacles and make counselling more feasible to a person who otherwise may be unable to access counselling services at all. This is a great option for anyone needing more flexibility.
Online therapy could be a good fit for you if:
You have a busy schedule and are looking to participate in counselling—without the added commute time.
If you travel a lot and are often on-the-go or in different places.
You have health issues (e.g., physical disability or illness, severe depression or anxiety) that makes it difficult for you to get out of the house or make your way around town.
You are more comfortable seeking help from the comfort of your own home
You do not have access to suitable counselling services in your area.
It is simply your preference.

Consultation for Mental Health Professionals
I also offer consultation services to mental health professionals. I provide one-on-one sessions for case consultations, consideration of ethical dilemmas, professional development, and care for yourself as a practitioner in the helping professions.
As an existential therapist, my approach to clinical consultation is highly phenomenological. This means I meet you where you’re at. I work with you within the context of your own chosen therapeutic orientation, and focus on what you believe to be most essential to your work and development. This includes exploring client care and treatment planning, as well as your own development as a clinician. You and I will work collaboratively in setting goals and establishing focus areas throughout our time together. Sessions will be 50-minutes in length.
