Ontario-based Virtual Therapy
Specialized therapy services for adults, parents, pregnant folks & family hopeful people.
Offering you specialized support for the unique experiences that come during these seasons of life.
-
The experiences & challenges of younger adults are not the same person to person, but can be unique to this group. We support folks as they navigate identities and experiences being neurodivergent, disabled, queer, Black, Indigenous, and People of Colour, while offering support with vocational difficulties, relationships, family dynamics, trauma, and general mental health.
You may experience depression, anxiety, suicidal thoughts, anger, overwhelm, isolation, grief, and identity challenges. -
Wanting to become pregnant, hoping to add to your family, & experiencing pregnancy can be a beautiful & stressful season.
We support individuals & families on their family planning journeys as they navigate challenging news & available options, pregnancy loss, and interpersonal & intrapersonal changes throughout the process. You may deal with loss, panic, hormone & mood changes, hopelessness, identity frustrations, and loneliness.
-
Becoming a parent and raising a human can feel like an incredible opportunity & daunting task.
We support parents as they navigate changing identities, meeting the needs of themself & their family, understanding & supporting their child’s development, managing relationships, and the pressures of being a parent in 2024.
You may experience overwhelm, intrusive thoughts, isolation, conflicting desires, relationship difficulties, and general parent & person challenges.
Please note as I complete my Master of Fine Arts in Creative Nonfiction and begin pitching my narrative self-help book, I am accepting clients by email inquiry only.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can you be my therapist?
As I complete my Master of Fine Arts in Creative Nonfiction and begin pitching my narrative self-help book, I’m continuing to see my current caseload and am accepting new clients by email inquiry only. You can email me to inquire about my services or be recommended a therapist at the therapy practice where I’m Clinical Lead.
Can I follow you on social media?
I do have a professional instagram page @BothSidesOfBeehives where I share posts about my personal and professional life and current writing wins. My clients are welcome to follow along but should be comfortable with seeing snippets from my non-professional life! Please keep in mind I am not allowed to follow clients back.
What do you look for in a collaborator?
I’m looking to connect with agents and publishers in the prescriptive nonfiction and self-help genre as well as editors and organizations looking for articles and presentations about mental health, disability, neurodivergent experiences, fertility, egg donation, embryo adoption and therapy.
Where are you based?
I live in Toronto with my partner and bulldog mix while operating BeehIves entirely online. I’m a raging night owl and can be booked for meetings and guest speaking opportunities from 11 am to 9 pm EST.
