Support to help you understand what is happening beneath the surface and rebuild the capacity you need to show up in your life and work.
Online anxiety and depression therapy for individuals in Vancouver and across BC.
Sometimes you are anxious. Other times you are numb. Either way, the exhaustion is constant.
It often feels like there is no way out of this cycle you feel caught in. Each day feels a little harder than the last, and the things that once sparked joy no longer do. You may feel stuck, overwhelmed, or disconnected from the life you want to live. Social interactions are draining, and it is exhausting trying to keep up appearances. Sometimes it is hard to feel motivated to accomplish even the simplest tasks.

My Approach
Anxiety and depression show up differently for everyone. Some people feel constantly on edge. Others shut down. Many move between both. What they share is the sense that life has become harder to manage, even when things look fine from the outside.
My approach is integrative and practical. I pay attention to how your emotional, physical, and social worlds interact because these issues rarely exist on their own. You may be balancing work demands, family responsibilities, and the pressure to keep functioning. Therapy gives you space to understand what is driving your symptoms and begin to respond rather than react.
We will set goals that feel realistic for your current capacity. Together we will build tools to manage anxious thoughts, regulate your nervous system, and move through low-energy periods with more stability. The aim is not perfection. It is to make daily life feel more manageable.
I also help you reconnect with the strengths that have carried you through difficult times before. When anxiety or depression takes over, it becomes easy to forget what you are capable of. Using evidence-based strategies, we will shift unhelpful patterns and develop approaches that help you feel more grounded and more like yourself again.
My goal is to help you understand your internal experience, support you with the skills you need day to day, and create a path forward that feels grounded and sustainable.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I know if I’m experiencing anxiety or depression?
Anxiety and depression show up differently for everyone. Anxiety often looks like constant worry, racing thoughts, tension, irritability, or disrupted sleep. Depression may involve persistent sadness, fatigue, loss of motivation, or feeling disconnected from things that once mattered.
You do not need a formal label to seek support. If your symptoms are affecting your daily life, therapy can help you understand what is happening and begin to move toward relief.
Nothing brings me happiness anymore. Can you help?
Yes. Losing interest or joy is a common experience in depression and burnout. Together we will explore what is contributing to the numbness, understand the patterns keeping you stuck, and build small, achievable shifts that help you reconnect with yourself. The goal is not to force happiness but to help you rebuild energy, motivation, and meaning at a pace that feels manageable.
Do you diagnose anxiety or depression?
I do not provide formal diagnoses. If you are seeking a diagnostic assessment for medical or insurance purposes, I can help you determine whether a referral to your physician or a psychiatrist would be appropriate.
Many clients choose to start therapy without a diagnosis. What matters most is understanding your symptoms and building support that actually helps you feel better.
Can you prescribe medication?
No, I cannot prescribe medication. Some people benefit from combining therapy with medication, while others prefer not to. If medication is something you are considering, I can help you explore that decision and communicate with your doctor if needed. Therapy can support you whether or not medication is part of your plan.
Can therapy help with physical symptoms of anxiety and depression?
Yes, therapy can help address the physical symptoms that often accompany anxiety and depression, such as headaches, muscle tension, fatigue, or digestive issues. By exploring the mind-body connection, therapy can provide tools to help manage stress, calm the nervous system, and reduce the intensity of physical symptoms as you work on emotional healing.
How long does it take to feel better?
There is no fixed timeline. Some clients notice early shifts in the first few sessions, while deeper changes often take longer. What we focus on together will depend on your symptoms, history, and goals. The process is steady and collaborative, and we adjust as your needs evolve.
What if I feel overwhelmed talking about my emotions?
Many people with anxiety or depression worry that opening up will make things worse. We move at a pace that feels safe for you. You do not have to share everything at once. Sessions are structured to help you stay grounded while exploring what’s difficult, and we will build strategies to help you regulate between sessions.
Is online therapy effective for anxiety and depression?
Yes. Research shows that online therapy is just as effective as in-person care for anxiety and depression. Many clients appreciate the comfort and privacy of meeting from home, especially on days when motivation or energy is low. The work we do together remains just as personal and supportive.
