Many therapy services begin without a clear sense of direction or an understanding of when meaningful change will occur.

My practice is different. I offer a structured, goal‑oriented, and time‑contingent model that keeps you informed and engaged at every step. Together, we identify your priorities, monitor progress, and adjust as needed to ensure treatment remains effective and aligned with your needs.

My approach is especially supportive for clients who appreciate clarity, collaboration, and a defined path forward. You’ll always know what we’re working on, why it matters, and how each session contributes to meaningful change.

Clients describe my style as collaborative, grounded, honest, and straightforward. I’m actively engaged in the process — offering guidance, bringing ideas forward, and helping you move through places where you may feel stuck. You won’t be left to “figure it out alone”; therapy with me is a shared effort.

My approach blends trauma‑informed practice with neuroscience‑based strategies, feminist and anti‑oppressive perspectives, and practical skill‑building. Together, we work on boundaries, interpersonal effectiveness, emotional regulation, and cultivating inner steadiness.

I commonly support neurodivergent and 2SLGBTQIA+ clients, and I prioritize creating a space where your lived experience is understood and respected. We identify goals that meaningfully address your concerns, focus on what’s within your control, and build momentum toward lasting change — even when life feels unpredictable.

Psychotherapy is typically deeper and longer‑term. It focuses on underlying patterns, early experiences, attachment, personality, and trauma. Psychotherapy is often used for complex or persistent concerns and aims to create lasting change in how a person thinks, feels, and relates to others.

Clinical counselling is usually shorter‑term and present‑focused. It supports people in navigating specific life stressors—such as grief, work stress, or relationship conflict—and helps build practical coping skills. It is structured, goal‑oriented, and designed to resolve a particular issue.

My treatment plans integrate both psychotherapy and clinical counselling. Depending on a client’s concerns, one approach may be more relevant than the other. I build on client strengths to support problem‑solving and goal achievement. When needed, psychotherapy allows us to reprocess past traumatic experiences or shift lifelong patterns that may be getting in the way of meaningful change.

I offer a free 1.5‑hour intake assessment where we explore your concerns, clarify your goals, and create an individualized treatment plan — including an estimated cost to reach those goals.

Treatment plans typically include weekly psychotherapy and clinical counselling sessions, assessment, and structured skill‑building activities. Depending on your needs, this may also involve guided homework, reflective exercises, and practical tools to support progress between sessions.

My standard rate is $150 per hour for direct client contact. Limited reduced‑fee options are available upon request.

After your initial assessment, you’ll receive a clear and transparent quote for your individualized treatment plan, with no hidden costs or unexpected fees.

Example: Your goal is to reduce panic symptoms while socializing at work.

Your treatment plan is 12 - 14 weekly sessions, plus regular assessments and social anxiety skill-building exercises. Your quoted cost to achieve this goal is $1800-$2100 CAD.

You have extended health benefits that cover 80% of the cost - leaving you paying $360 - $420 out of pocket over 3 - 3.5 months.

Yes. As a Registered Social Worker (RSW), my psychotherapy and clinical counselling services are eligible for reimbursement through most extended health benefit plans. In most cases, you’ll pay for your session upfront and then submit your receipt to your provider for reimbursement.
