You don’t have to be in crisis for therapy to be helpful. Many people come because they’re feeling stuck, overwhelmed, disconnected, or caught in patterns they don’t fully understand. Others come because they’re moving through a difficult time and want support. Some simply want to know themselves more deeply.

If you’re wanting a space to explore, make sense of things, and not have to carry it all on your own — that’s more than enough reason.

The first session is a chance for us to get to know each other. I’ll ask about what’s bringing you in, what you’re hoping for, and some background that helps me understand your story.

You don’t need to prepare anything or have it all figured out. My hope is that you leave feeling seen — not interrogated.

My work is relational, attachment-based, and trauma-informed. I draw from experiential, body-based, and emotion-focused approaches, which means we won’t just talk about your experiences — we’ll gently explore how they show up in your body, emotions, and relationships.

I see therapy as something we do together. You are the expert on your experience. My role is to walk alongside you with curiosity, warmth, and care (and sometimes a little humor when it fits).

60-minute sessions are $160. 90-minute sessions are $240.

Many extended health benefit plans cover sessions with a registered counsellor. I provide a detailed receipt after each session that you can submit to your insurance provider for reimbursement. I do not offer direct billing at this time. I recommend checking directly with your provider to understand your specific coverage.

I understand that therapy can be a significant financial commitment, and I believe meaningful support should feel within reach. I maintain a number of sliding scale spots to help make this work more attainable. If cost feels like a barrier, please reach out and we can have a conversation about what might be possible.

My likely unsatisfying answer to this question is it depends. Some people come for short-term support around a specific issue. Others choose longer-term work to explore deeper patterns and relational themes.

We’ll check in along the way about what feels helpful and whether our work is meeting your goals.

I firmly believe that the relationship we build together is central to the work, so the connection between us really matters. If at any point something feels off, unclear, or not quite aligned, I welcome that conversation. Therapy works best when it feels safe and collaborative.

And if it turns out I’m not the right fit for what you’re needing, I’ll gladly help you find someone who is. You deserve support that feels right.

Your privacy is important to me. If we happen to see each other in the community, I take your lead. I won’t approach you or acknowledge you unless you choose to acknowledge me first.

You get to decide how (or if) we interact.

That’s completely okay. Many people arrive saying exactly that (including me, in my own therapy sometimes!). Therapy doesn’t require a perfectly organized narrative. We can start with whatever feels present — even “I don’t know.”

Often, that’s where something meaningful begins.

Life happens, and sometimes appointments need to shift. To support fairness and consistency for everyone, I have the following cancellation policy in place:

More than 48 hours’ notice: No charge — you’re welcome to reschedule or cancel.

24 to 48 hours’ notice: 50% of the session fee will be charged.

Less than 24 hours’ notice or no-show: The full session fee will be charged.

This helps protect the time we’ve intentionally set aside for your work and allows space for others who may be waiting for an appointment.

I’m also human, and understand that emergencies can happen. I reserve the right to make exceptions to this policy at my discretion.

Yes, with a few legal and ethical exceptions. I go over confidentiality in detail in our first session so you know exactly what to expect.

Your safety and trust are foundational to this work.
