Why "Still Processing"?
When I talk about “processing,” I’m referring to the way we untangle our thoughts, emotions, and past experiences in a space that feels safe, grounded, and unhurried.
Whether you are navigating racing thoughts at night, feeling chronically overwhelmed, carrying past trauma, or feeling emotionally exhausted and stuck, healing takes time—and it often unfolds both inside and outside of our sessions.
In therapy, it’s completely normal for insights or emotions to continue bubbling up after we meet. When you find yourself saying you’re “still processing,” that isn’t just expected—it’s a vital part of the work. In the days following a session, you might notice yourself:
- Replaying pieces of our conversation with newfound clarity.
- Making connections between long-standing emotional patterns and current stressors.
- Experiencing subtle shifts in how you respond to daily triggers or anxiety.
This ongoing internal movement is a sign that therapy is settling in and creating real, meaningful change.

Registered Psychotherapist, B.A., M.A., CCPA
Member of CRPO #11704
Therapy is personal for me. I’ve spent years supporting people through anxiety, overwhelm, grief, relationship struggles, and feeling stuck, and I’ve learned that real healing happens when someone feels truly seen and understood.
In our work together, I’m attentive and grounded. I help you slow down, name what you’re feeling, make sense of your patterns, and find language for experiences you may have carried quietly for a long time. Clients often say that having their inner world reflected back to them brings clarity and relief.
My approach is collaborative and compassionate. I’m here to walk alongside you—not to fix you, but to help you understand yourself more deeply and move toward the change you’re wanting with steadiness and confidence.
What to Expect
Starting therapy can feel like a big step. We begin with a free 15-minute phone or video consultation to discuss what you’re experiencing and ensure we’re a good fit. During our initial 50-minute session, we will move at a pace that feels comfortable for you—exploring your goals, identifying what you'd like to work through, and tailoring an approach (such as EMDR, CBT, or Compassion-Focused Therapy) that best supports your needs.
Individual psychotherapy sessions are available virtually across Ontario. Covered under most extended health care benefits for Registered Psychotherapist (RP) services.
