Frequently Asked Questions

The right therapist should help you feel respected, understood and able to speak openly. A free consultation gives us an opportunity to discuss what you are looking for, ask questions and consider whether my approach feels like a good fit. There is no obligation to continue.

We’ll briefly discuss what is bringing you to therapy, what you hope to gain and the kind of support you are seeking. I’ll share how I work and answer questions about therapy, scheduling, fees or next steps. For couples, both partners are encouraged to attend.

All sessions are currently offered virtually through a secure video platform. You must be physically located in Ontario during your appointment and join from a private space where you can speak comfortably.

Individual therapy is $185 per 50-minute session, and couples therapy is $225 per 50-minute session. Payment is due on the day of your appointment, and a receipt will be provided.

A limited number of reduced-fee spaces may be available depending on current capacity. You are welcome to ask about availability during your consultation. If I cannot offer a fee that works for you, I may be able to suggest other resources.

Many extended health plans cover services provided by a Registered Psychotherapist or Canadian Certified Counsellor. Coverage varies, so please confirm the requirements of your plan before beginning therapy. I do not offer direct billing, but you will receive a receipt to submit for reimbursement.

At least 24 hours’ notice is required to cancel or reschedule an appointment. Sessions cancelled with less than 24 hours’ notice, as well as missed appointments, are charged the full session fee.

Your privacy is important, and information shared in therapy is kept confidential except when disclosure is required or permitted by law or professional obligations. These exceptions include certain concerns involving serious risk of harm, child protection, court orders and regulatory requirements. We will review confidentiality and its limits before beginning therapy.

The first session is an opportunity to begin exploring what brings you to therapy, your goals and any relevant history. We will discuss what you would like support with and start identifying a direction for our work together. You do not need to prepare or share everything at once—the process will move at a pace that supports safety and trust.
