People seek psychotherapy for many different reasons. Some feel overwhelmed or unfulfilled in their lives, while others seek to add meaning, improve relationships, or navigate career challenges. Many come during times of transition, grief, addiction, or loss. Others are struggling with emotional pain, low self-worth, loneliness, anxiety, or depression.

If you’re feeling stuck, unsupported, or unsatisfied in your life or relationships, it may be a good time to consider whether psychotherapy can offer the support and space you need.

My approach to therapy is grounded in the belief that we’re all striving for a sense of balance, connection, and emotional well-being. I aim to offer a safe, compassionate, and nonjudgmental space where you can feel heard and understood. This work is not about fixing you—you are not broken. It’s about helping you reconnect with and integrate the parts of yourself that have been hurt, silenced, or overlooked. Together, we’ll uncover new meaning, strengthen your resilience, and gently shift how you relate to yourself and the world around you.

The relationship between the psychotherapist and the client is at the heart of the therapeutic process. In our sessions, I will support and encourage you to explore both current challenges and past experiences. This may include working with difficult emotions, patterns of thinking, past and present trauma, and how early relationships continue to shape your day-to-day life.

Together, we’ll begin to uncover the ways you've learned to cope—sometimes through defense mechanisms that may have once protected you but are no longer serving you. As these patterns come into focus, psychotherapy can help you process, shift, and gradually replace them with healthier, more supportive ways of being.

The goals of psychotherapy often include resolving internal conflicts, increasing emotional resilience, managing stress and symptoms more effectively, improving relationships, and deepening one’s sense of self-awareness and meaning. At its core, psychotherapy supports your journey toward living with greater authenticity, connection, and a sense of wholeness.

The length of time you spend in therapy depends on your personal goals and what you hope to gain from the process. Some people seek short-term support during a particularly challenging period or to address a specific issue. For others, therapy becomes a longer-term space for ongoing personal growth, deeper self-understanding, and relationship enrichment. What’s most important is giving the process enough time to build a trusting therapeutic relationship, as this connection is often key to meaningful change. Finding a therapist you feel comfortable with can offer lasting support—something you can rely on and return to throughout different stages of life.

Most clients attend sessions on a weekly or biweekly basis, but the frequency is flexible and can be adjusted to suit your needs and life circumstances.

Each therapy session is 50 minutes long and typically begins on the hour. The remaining 10 minutes are reserved for writing your case note and thoughtfully reflecting on our work together. I offer virtual sessions, and I currently have some evening and weekend availability for those who can’t do therapy during the day.

I invite you to book a free consultation to see if I am a good fit for you and to learn more about the modalities I practice.

The session fee is $140 (some sliding scale spots at $120 per session may be available if you qualify).

Your appointment time is reserved just for you. A late cancellation or missed visit leaves a hole in the therapist’s day that another client could have filled. As such, we require 24 hours’ notice for any cancellations or changes to your appointment. Clients who provide less than 24 hours’ notice or miss their appointment will be charged a cancellation fee.

If you have insurance through work or from a private company, please check their coverage for Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying) as many offer an allotment of money towards psychotherapy.

OHIP covers only psychiatric services at this time, not psychotherapy or psychological services.

Most mental health emergencies cannot be addressed at private clinics and should be treated by emergency services like mobile response teams or hospitals. I might not be able to accommodate same day sessions – but sometimes it is possible, so please contact me. Alternately, I can provide you with information for walk-in counselling clinics in case of emergency.
