The Right Fit

My clients describe me as warm, knowledgeable, curious and transparent. I am responsive and keen to refine your therapy experience as I get to know you better.My approach to therapy is to centre your autonomy. You're the boss. You set the destination and ultimately decide what path to take. You hire me to ease the process. Together, we can gain clarity, explore your options, work through barriers, and connect with what’s important to you.

FAQ

What platform do you use for virtual therapy?

JaneApp. It’s a Canadian-owned software company that is user friendly and complies with federal/ provincial privacy laws. Users (you) don’t pay to use it.

Do you use AI in therapy?

No. In my opinion, AI does not have enough protections for private information or ethical use in therapy.

How much does a session cost?

Sessions are 55 minutes long and cost $160 (tax inclusive). You can pay via credit card on JaneApp or e-transfer to [email protected]

Do you take insurance?

Most insurance programs in Canada cover psychotherapy provided by a registered social worker AND my full session fee– but you should confirm the specifics of your insurance program. I don’t offer direct billing at this time, but you can submit your receipts to be reimbursed.

What if I can’t afford therapy?

We can use your free consult to go over free, subsidized, affordable and/ or lower cost options. I also have a limited number of sliding scale spots, which you can ask about in your free consult.

What should I "bring" to the consult?

You can arrive to the consult with a really clear idea of what you're looking for and an agenda you would like to lead-- or you can show up not knowing where to start and I'll facilitate. There is no single right way to show up.

What are your credentials?

I am a registered and licensed Masters of Social Work (RSW, MSW) who can perform the controlled act of Psychotherapy. I undergo ongoing professional development every year, often on the topic of my specialties. My work is also informed by my lived experience.

What if I don't align with your specialties?

Everyone is worthy of support– and no therapist can cultivate a deep understanding of everything. It’s important to be transparent about my skills so you can make informed decisions about your care.I respect your autonomy. If you want to work together, reach out and we'll chat. I still work successfully with clients outside my focus if I’m confident– after learning more in the consult– that I can do so competently.

What modalities do you use?

I usually combine therapeutic approaches for each unique client– but I favour person-centred, trauma-informed, harm reduction and anti-oppressive approaches.I use specific techniques from Internal Family Systems Therapy (IFS), Narrative Therapy, Somatic Therapy, Liberation Psychology, Motivational Interviewing (MI), Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT), Emotion Focused Therapy (EFT) Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT).
