If You’re Thinking About Reaching Out, Start Here
You don’t need to be sure yet. This first step is simply a conversation.
You’re likely here because something isn’t settling on its own anymore.
The next step is a free 20-minute consult where we talk through what’s going on and whether this work fits.

What The Consult is For
Your free 20 minute consult is to clarify three things:
1. What kind of depletion this is
2. What kind of help you need
3. Whether I am the right fit for your situation
There is no expectation to continue. If another type of support fits better, I will say so.
You can take time to think afterward. No decision needed on the call.

I’ve also spent 26 years in marriage and raised two adult children. That lived experience shapes how I understand long-term stress, responsibility, and how burnout builds over time.
Is this the kind of support you’re looking for?
I work with people who are still functioning on the outside, but carrying more than is sustainable.
This often looks like:
– burnout that isn’t resolving with rest
– constant mental load or difficulty switching off
– pressure to hold everything together at work or home
– a growing sense of disconnection from yourself
My focus is on burnout, moral injury, stress, and identity strain, especially (but not exclusively) for professionals in high-responsibility roles.
If you’re in Ontario, sessions are covered by most extended health insurance plans. All sessions are offered virtually.
You don’t need to have this fully figured out before reaching out. That’s what the consult is for.
Not sure if you’re ready to reach out yet?
That’s completely fine.
If you want a place to start without committing to a conversation, you can take a short burnout check-in. It helps you get a clearer sense of what might be going on and what kind of support would actually help:
Not sure if this is burnout or something else?

Online Therapist in Ontario Specializing in Burnout, Moral Injury, Trauma, Anxiety and Grief for Professionals
Life in Ontario can be fast-paced and demanding – whether you’re navigating the busy streets of Mississauga, the Greater Toronto Area (GTA), or the quieter but active communities of Kitchener-Waterloo, Cambridge, Owen Sound, Grey County or The Blue Mountains. I’ve lived in all of these communities and I know first hand that with so much going on, it’s easy to feel overwhelmed, disconnected, or exhausted. That’s where online psychotherapy is a gift. It’s a convenient, truly confidential way to find peace and clarity without adding more stress to your day.
I’m a Registered Psychotherapist (RP) with the Ontario College of Registered Psychotherapists, offering online therapy to adults across Ontario, from my new home office in Saskatchewan. My services are covered by most extended health insurance plans in the province, and I provide detailed receipts to help you access your benefits. Whether you’re a high performing executive, a professional overwhelmed by burnout, or someone grieving loss and searching for meaning, I’m here to walk alongside you. If you are outside of Ontario, I am available for therapeutic coaching.

Reaching out to an Online Therapist For Help With Burnout Can Be Life Changing
Online therapy allows you to connect from your home, office, or any quiet space, fitting easily into your busy schedule. You don’t have to spend time commuting or rearranging your day. From Kitchener-Waterloo’s growing tech scene to the scenic beauty of Grey County and Collingwood, I support clients throughout the province who are seeking clarity, energy and joy in their life and work.
Many people come to therapy feeling stuck in leadership burnout, moral injury, people-pleasing habits, or chronic stress that leaves them depleted. Usually this means, people are ready to start making a change. Finding an online therapist who fits your recovery needs is important, and aligning your inner narrative with your goals and day to day living takes intention and skill.
My approach blends the evidence-based techniques of ACT, CBT, Trauma, Family Systems and Narrative therapy with compassion and a deep respect for your unique story and values. Together, we create a safe online space to explore how you got where you are and what challenges you need to face in order to overcome. We will make a plan to honour who you are and build a clearer path forward.
You can contact me to book a free 20-minute consultation to learn more about how we can work together online. Therapy is a step toward reclaiming your energy, your voice, and your sense of self, no matter where you live in Ontario and beyond.
Fear of Losing Your Job: When Work Stress Starts Affecting Your Mental Health
When fear of losing your job starts to take over, work stress can shift into survival mode. You may find yourself pushing harder, feeling more anxious, and unable to switch off, even when you’re exhausted. This isn’t a lack of discipline. It’s what happens when uncertainty and pressure begin to affect your nervous system.
Why You Wake Up at 3am With Your Mind Racing
Waking up at 3am with racing thoughts isn’t random. If your brain won’t shut off at night, it’s often a sign of cognitive overload and unresolved pressure, not just anxiety.
Why Your Brain Won’t Shut Off at Night: Overthinking and Cognitive Overload
If your brain won’t shut off at night, you’re not dealing with a discipline problem. Overthinking, rumination, and work stress can keep your system running long after the day ends. Learn what’s actually driving it and how to reset.
