Psychotherapy provides a safe and supportive space to explore your thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. Together, we identify patterns that may be causing distress and develop strategies to manage challenges in healthier ways. Over time, psychotherapy can help you build coping skills, increase self-awareness, and foster positive changes in your relationships, mood, and overall well-being.

The first session is about getting to know you and your needs. I’ll ask about your current concerns, background, and goals for therapy. You’ll also have the chance to ask me questions and see if my approach feels like a good fit for you. By the end of the session, we’ll discuss possible directions for therapy and set some initial goals together.

Psychotherapy provided by registered social workers (RSWs) is not covered by OHIP. However, many extended health benefit plans and employee assistance programs (EAPs) provide coverage for services with RSWs. I can provide an official receipt for each session, which you can submit to your insurance provider for reimbursement if you have coverage. Additionally, psychotherapy services can be claimed as a medical expense on your Canadian income tax return.

At this time, I do not offer direct billing. It is your responsibility to confirm whether your insurance plan covers psychotherapy and to obtain any required documentation.

Once payment is received, I will provide you with an official receipt that you can submit to your insurance company for reimbursement.

Confidentiality is an essential part of psychotherapy. Everything you share with me is kept private, with a few legal exceptions:

• If there is risk of serious harm to yourself or others

• If there is suspicion of child abuse or neglect

• If records are subpoenaed by a court
  Outside of these rare circumstances, your information is protected and will not be shared without your consent.

My approach is integrative and tailored to each individual. I draw from evidence-based modalities such as Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT), EMDR, and EFT with a strong focus on trauma work—both “big T” (life-threatening events) and “small t” trauma (e.g., attachment wounds, childhood experiences, and neglect).

I have experience supporting clients with a range of mental health concerns, including OCD, health anxiety, social anxiety, panic disorder, as well as general stress, feeling stuck, or navigating life transitions.

I deeply value each person’s uniqueness and complexity. My approach to healing is holistic, integrating the mind, body, and soul, and creating a space where you can explore, grow, and reconnect with yourself.
