Adults & Life Changes

Virtual therapy in Ontario for young adults and adults in the middle of a life transition - the seasons where everything is shifting at once and you are expected to just keep up.

You may be high-achieving at work or school, the one who seems to have it figured out, and still feel anxious, low, burnt out, or quietly behind underneath. Graduating, starting or losing a job, changing careers, moving, a relationship beginning or ending or becoming a parent.

This page is for you if you are a young adult or adult who:

• is finishing school, starting a first career, changing careers, or recovering from a job loss

• has moved out, moved cities, or is building a life somewhere new

• is in a relationship that is changing

• has recently become a parent, and is adjusting to the identity shift of parenthood alongside everything else

• looks successful on paper and feels anxious, low, or burnt out in private

• feels behind compared to everyone else, or is asking "who am I, and what do I actually want?"

• is navigating questions of identity and belonging

What therapy can look like together

I offer warm, collaborative therapy where you do not have to explain the basics of postings, deployments, or base life before you can get to the point.

My approach is grounded in psychodynamic therapy - together, we look back to your early beginnings, the experiences, relationships, and messages that shaped you, to gain insight into the patterns showing up in your life today. From that understanding, we also build practical strategies, drawing on CBT and DBT, for the anxiety, low mood, and overwhelm that come with constant change.

Because sessions are virtual, therapy can stay consistent even when your life does not - you can keep the same therapist across a posting anywhere in Ontario.
