Online counselling for helpers - educators, health care professionals, and veterans - in Oshawa, the Durham Region, and across Ontario

The many demands on helpers can cause us to forget about the parts of ourselves that need attention.
We sometimes forget that we are whole individuals with our own values and voices, which sometimes get lost in our pursuit of helping others and navigating the systems we work in - especially in the face of burnout, tragedy or loss.

Does this sound familiar?
You…
​​
-
come home from work exhausted, wondering how you will find the energy for your family or activities that bring you joy
-
experienced a traumatic incident at work (a workplace injury or a violent incident in the workplace) and now find going to work difficult
-
have everything you thought you wanted in life - the career, the family, the house - but still feel like something is missing - that you aren’t quite whole even though you have everything you’ve ever worked for
-
love your job but are frustrated by the system you work in, and experience workplace stress and burnout due to systemic challenges
-
are on a leave of absence to support your physical and/or mental health and find that you aren’t feeling ‘better’. It feels as though you are stuck
-
are grieving the loss of a student, patient or colleague, and feel like no one really understands what you are going through
Working together, we examine all the parts of you that are asking for healing …
…so you can show up for yourself and others from a
place of clarity and wholeness.
Hi, my name is Randi
I understand the unique demands of helpers, which is why I specialize in supporting them.
Using a holistic approach to health and wellbeing, I incorporate the mind, body and spirit into the healing process so you can regain control of your life, emotions, and relationships.
If you are struggling with burnout, grief and trauma I am here to help you learn to thrive again.
HOW PSYCHOTHERAPY WITH ME WORKS
A SAFE SPACE
When you are sharing your innermost thoughts and feelings, you want to make sure that you feel safe doing so. Together, we will strive to create a space that allows for you to be your truest, most authentic self, without fear of judgement.
CONNECTION
I believe that through connection - with ourselves, others, and nature - our minds and bodies find the space they need to heal. After the prolonged disconnection we experienced during the pandemic, fostering meaningful connections, especially in a therapeutic setting, is more important than ever.
HEART-CENTERED
Our bodies and our minds have an innate ability to heal - healing is our birthright! Through heart-centered and holistic approaches, we can foster healing across all aspects of our lives, including the physical, emotional and spiritual.
THERAPY TO FIT YOUR NEEDS
Access counselling anywhere in Ontario via secure, HIPAA-compliant video or phone sessions. No need to commute, put hard pants on, or fight traffic! All you need is a private space and strong internet connection.
Online Therapy
For existing clients living in the Durham Region, I offer walk-and-talk therapy sessions held outdoors in a peaceful forest setting.

Starting therapy with me may be right for you if…
Starting therapy with me may not be the right fit if…
-
You are a helping professional - whether in education, healthcare, community safety, or a military veteran - ready to regain control of your life
-
You are questioning whether your job is still the right fit and unsure if staying or leaving is the best path forward
-
You enjoy exploring unique approaches to introspection and healing, embracing all parts of yourself - mind, body and spirit
-
You appreciate humour and can find moments of laughter, even in challenging experiences
-
You're looking for a quick fix to stress and burnout or hoping someone else will 'fix' your problems
-
You prefer to focus solely on work-related issues and don't want to explore other aspects of your life, such as your childhood or personal relationships
-
You're seeking a traditional therapy approach, like CBT or standard talk therapy
-
You're not open to discussing physical sensations, internal experiences, or your spiritual self
