Meet Ann

Registered Psychotherapist (RP).

Providing online counselling and psychotherapy to adults across Ontario, with a focus on chronic pain, persistent symptoms, anxiety, depression, and life stress through a supportive, collaborative, and mind-body approach. 

“Your symptoms are real, and you deserve support that considers both mind and body.

A Mind-Body Approach to Navigating Everyday Life

About Ann

Living with chronic pain, chronic fatigue, or other persistent symptoms can affect far more than the body.


Hello, I’m Ann. 

I’m a Registered Psychotherapist with a particular interest in supporting people living with chronic pain, illness, and other persistent symptoms, as well as anxiety, depression, and life stress.


I use a mind-body approach that recognises the connection between our thoughts, emotions, behaviours, nervous system, and physical experiences. This does not mean that physical symptoms are “all in your head.” Rather, it recognises that the mind and body are interconnected and that emotional and psychological well-being can play an important role in how we experience and respond to persistent symptoms.


I draw from a variety of therapeutic approaches and tailor our work to your individual needs and goals. Some sessions may involve exploring thoughts, feelings, and patterns more deeply, while others may focus on practical strategies and tools you can use in everyday life.


My goal is to provide a collaborative, supportive space where you feel heard, understood, and supported as we explore new ways to care for both your mind and body.


I provide virtual psychotherapy to clients across Ontario.
