Online Psychotherapy Across Ontario
Although I now live in Playa del Carmen, Mexico, I continue to work exclusively with clients throughout Ontario. Whether you're in Toronto, Ottawa, Thunder Bay, a small rural community, or somewhere in between, we can meet from wherever you feel most comfortable.
Working remotely isn't something I adapted to recently—it's something I've spent much of my professional life doing. I feel comfortable in the online space.
Some clients appreciate meeting by secure video, while others prefer telephone sessions. Both can support meaningful therapeutic work.
Secure video
Video allows us to see one another, notice facial expressions, and share the experience of being together, while giving you the flexibility to attend from home, work, or another private location. You avoid another commute.
Telephone
Some people simply think and speak more freely without a camera. Others enjoy taking a quiet walk during a session or sitting outside where they feel more at ease. Telephone therapy can reduce the self-consciousness that sometimes comes with being on screen, allowing the conversation itself to take centre stage.
Wherever you are in Ontario
Finding the right therapist matters more than finding the closest one.
Working remotely means you're free to choose a therapist whose way of working resonates with you, rather than limiting yourself to whoever happens to have an office nearby.
I work with adults throughout Ontario, including Toronto, Ottawa, Hamilton, Mississauga, Brampton, Vaughan, Markham, Richmond Hill, Oakville, Burlington, Kitchener-Waterloo, Cambridge, Guelph, London, Kingston, Windsor, Barrie, Peterborough, Sudbury, Thunder Bay, the Niagara Region, and communities across the province.
Whether you're in a large city or a quieter corner of Ontario, we can meet by secure video or telephone—as long as you're physically located in Ontario at the time of your session.

No, I live in Mexico.
One of the freedoms of remote therapy is that you aren't limited to choosing a therapist based on who's nearby. Instead, you can choose someone whose approach feels like the right fit.

Yes.
I live in Playa del Carmen, Mexico, and provide psychotherapy to adults throughout Ontario by secure video and telephone.
As a Registered Psychotherapist with the College of Registered Psychotherapists of Ontario (CRPO), I'm permitted to provide psychotherapy to clients who are physically located in Ontario at the time of their session.
Working remotely is also something I bring considerable experience to. Before becoming a psychotherapist, I spent more than twenty years leading and collaborating with teams in remote environments. Today, I use secure technology and a private, professional office to create a therapeutic space that is reliable, confidential, and focused on you.
While my surroundings have changed, my commitment to my clients hasn't. In many ways, living in Playa has allowed me to build a life that is more intentional and sustainable—one that supports me in showing up with presence, curiosity, and care for the people I work with.

It's a fair question.
I was born and raised in Ontario and spent nearly fifty years living, studying, working, and building relationships there. The rhythms of Ontario life—the seasons, the pace, the culture, and many of the challenges people navigate—are deeply familiar to me.
Although I now live in Playa del Carmen, my psychotherapy practice remains rooted in Ontario. I work exclusively with Ontario clients and stay engaged with the communities, events, and conversations that shape their lives.
More importantly, therapy isn't built on the assumption that our lives are the same. It's built on curiosity.
My role isn't to assume I already know your experience because we've lived in the same city or walked the same streets. It's to understand your experience of your work, your relationships, your family, and the world you're moving through.
In some ways, a little distance has reminded me to be even more intentional about listening rather than assuming. I find myself asking more questions, becoming curious about what has changed, and staying close to your experience rather than relying on my own.
Ultimately, what matters isn't that we share the same geography. It's that, together, we can make sense of your world. -
For many years, therapy was almost exclusively experienced in a therapist's office. That remains a meaningful way to do therapy, and for some people it may be the right fit.
My experience has been that what makes therapy meaningful isn't simply sharing the same physical space—it's the quality of attention, presence, and relationship we create together.
As a therapist, I don't become less attuned because we're meeting through a screen or over the phone. I simply attend to different aspects of your experience.
During telephone sessions, I often find myself listening more closely to your voice—its pace, rhythm, pauses, and the moments when words come easily or become more difficult to find.
During video sessions, I also notice your facial expressions, the way your eyes meet the camera, your posture, your gestures, and even aspects of the environment you've chosen to join from. Sometimes seeing you in your own space offers a different kind of understanding than meeting in a therapist's office.
Whether we meet by telephone or secure video, my attention remains the same: to be fully present with you and curious about your experience. The technology changes. The relationship does not.

That's a thoughtful question.
For some people, meeting a therapist in person feels important, and I respect that. There are times when sharing the same physical space is exactly what someone is looking for.
At the same time, many of us now live a significant portion of our lives through technology. We work remotely, maintain friendships across distances, communicate with family by video, and navigate much of our daily world online. Rather than seeing this as a limitation, online therapy invites us to explore what it means to relate, connect, and be fully present within the reality of our lives today.
My role isn't to recreate an office through a screen. It's to meet you where you are.
Whether you're sitting at your kitchen table, in a home office, or taking a quiet walk during a telephone session, those places become part of the work. The interruptions, comforts, routines, and surroundings that shape your everyday life are often closer to the surface than they would be in a therapist's office.
The goal isn't simply to connect online. It's to connect with one another. If that happens, the medium becomes much less important than the relationship we're building.

Online therapy works well for many people, but it is not the best fit in every situation.
During an initial conversation, we can discuss what brings you to therapy, what you are hoping for, and whether my way of working—and the online format—seems appropriate for you.
Begin with an initial conversation
You do not need to arrive with a perfectly defined goal.
You may simply know that something in your life no longer feels sustainable, or that understanding the problem has not been enough to change it.
If you are looking for online psychotherapy anywhere in Ontario, you are welcome to request an initial conversation.
