Therapy is a deeply personal journey, and I truly believe that it is an honour to be invited to support that process. Above all else, I value meeting you where you're at - and that means tailoring my approach and techniques to match your needs and strengths.

Some Questions answered
The Fit
How do I know if therapy is right for me?
At its core, therapy is about strengthening connections —with yourself and with the people in your life. If something in your life feels out of balance, therapy can help you realign to the things that are meaningful to you. Stronger, more meaningful connection is something everyone deserves.
Do I need to have a clear goal or problem to benefit from therapy?
Oh goodness, not at all. Many people come to therapy simply because they feel curious about themselves or are seeking to live in a more aligned and meaningful way.
​
You absolutely don’t need to have everything figured out before you begin. Therapy is a wonderful space to explore your thoughts, feelings, and experiences with care, curiosity, and support.
How do I know if we're a right fit?
It is so important that you feel comfortable with your therapist, and ultimately you're the only one who can know if you feel safe enough to try building a relationship. It's important that you feel seen in our time together.
How long does therapy usually last?
I've built many long lasting relationships and my self of therapy definitely leans towards long-term therapy. That said, when we accomplish the goals that we initial set out to tackle, this is our opportunity to celebrate your growth and reassess the type of support you want for yourself.
What if I'm nervous about starting therapy?
Most people are! And how wonderful that you're so in tune with yourself that you know this. It makes sense that you'd feel a little something when meeting someone new. Creating a space that feels safe and comfortable is something that we work on together right from the start.
The
Process
What does the first session look like?
This is one of my favourite moments in therapy - it's our opportunity to really get to know each other. I will meet you with warmth and curiosity. I tend to ask questions about what is bringing you to therapy right now and may dip into your past a little as well.
​
I also reserve some time in our first couple of sessions to review our informed consent - essentially all the things that I do to keep you and the information that you choose to share with me safe.
What does a typical session look like?
A typical session is full of conversation, creativity and maybe some laughter or tears... You're invited into our space however you're feeling that day, and because I trust that you are the expert in your own life, I will always make space for whatever you feel is important at that moment.
​
It's ok if we go "off the path" of our original focus. Life isn't linear so why should therapy be rigid?
​
How long does therapy last?
My style leans more towards long term as I follow you through the inevitable ups and downs of life. Together we adapt your therapeutic goals to match the challenges of each season of your life.
How frequently do we meet?
There's no one-size-fits-all recipe, but typically I recommend that we start out with weekly sessions so that we can build the foundations to our relationship and focus our work in the direction that you want to grow. We will frequently reassess the cadence of our sessions so that you are getting the support that makes the most sense for your goals and needs
How do we wrap things up at the end of therapy?
Goodbyes often feel hard, and this one is usually no different, but that chance to have closure is really important. A closure session allows us to review all the growth you've made - and that is absolutely worth celebrating.
The
Practical
Do you offer online or in-person sessions?
All sessions are virtual.
What is your fee per session?
My rate is $190.
Do you accept insurace?
Most Canadian insurance plans cover psychotherapy services. At the end of each session, you'll receive a receipt with all the information you need for reimbursement from your insurance company. Easy peasy.
What is your cancellation policy?
If you know well in advance that you can't make the session, I do appreciate the early notice so that I can open your space up for someone on my waitlist. Cancellations made within 24hrs of your appointment time will be subject to the full session fee.
