Insurance providers may cover psychotherapy fees either fully or partially, depending on the specifics of your extended health insurance plan. To determine your coverage, it’s helpful to ask your insurer the following questions: Does my plan include mental health benefits? How much is covered for psychotherapy services provided by a Registered Social Worker (RSW)? I provide receipts after each session, which you can submit to your insurance provider for reimbursement.

Getting started is simple. Reach out to schedule a free 20-minute consultation via phone or video call. This initial consultation gives us the opportunity to connect and allows you to share what brings you to therapy. It’s also a chance for me to answer any questions you have to ensure you feel comfortable and confident in finding the right therapist. Whether you're seeking support for anxiety, depression, perfectionism, or emotional well-being, this consultation can help us determine how best to move forward.

I provide individual psychotherapy for adults, drawing from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Psychodynamic Therapy, and Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT). My therapeutic approach is grounded in the compassion and support of Person-Centered Therapy, encouraging clients to explore their thoughts and beliefs about themselves, others, and the world. By cultivating self-awareness, curiosity, and self-compassion, clients can begin to challenge unhelpful patterns that contribute to issues like anxiety, depression, perfectionism, and low self-esteem. Emotionally Focused Therapy plays a key role in my work as I support clients in understanding their emotions and how life experiences have shaped their relationship with feelings. We explore messages received during childhood about which emotions were deemed "acceptable" or "unwelcome." I help clients develop a healthier relationship with emotions, where feelings are viewed as valuable information about their needs, wants, and boundaries, rather than sources of distress or overwhelm.

Virtual psychotherapy is the process of delivering therapy sessions online through secure video conferencing. I use NousTalk, a PHIPA-compliant platform with encrypted connections to ensure privacy and confidentiality. This virtual approach allows clients to receive professional therapy from the comfort of their own homes, making it more convenient and accessible for individuals in Ontario, Alberta, and British Columbia. Whether you're managing anxiety, depression, perfectionism, or other challenges, virtual therapy offers a flexible and secure way to work towards mental wellness.

I am typically available for sessions from Tuesday to Friday, between 8:00 AM and 7:00 PM EST/EDT. My flexible schedule allows for daytime and early evening appointments to accommodate your needs.
