Compassionate Care at Every Level
Life can be challenging, and it's common to struggle with unexpected stressors. Can you relate?
From navigating career demands to managing family responsibilities and societal expectations, we often find ourselves feeling overwhelmed. The financial strains brought on by the pandemic, such as high mortgage rates and sudden changes in work structures, can add to this burden.
At Side Road Psychotherapy, we understand these struggles firsthand. We offer individual counseling and psychotherapy sessions for adults, both in-person and virtually, in Burlington, Ontario. Our goal is to provide a supportive environment where you can explore your challenges and find ways to thrive amidst life's complexities.

Meet the Therapist
Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying), MACP
I enjoy working with clients from all walks of life, from teenagers struggling with ADHD to older populations interested in processing childhood trauma. I have experience working with perfectionism, burnout, ADHD, OCD, anger, toxic relationships, and narcissistic abuse recovery.
I am a former Special Constable with policing experience. Many of my clients are First Responders seeking support for issues related to PTSD, stress, depression, anxiety, and sleep problems. They appreciate my ability to meet them where they are due to my understanding of their complex work environment and the pressures of maintaining a work-life balance.
How? Where? When?
I offer therapy sessions online (video or phone call) or in-person in Burlington, ON.
Each therapy session typically lasts 50 minutes.
A free 15-minute consultation is also available.
