Frequently Asked Questions

A first session is a chance to connect and for me to get to know you. I’ll ask some basic questions about what brings you to therapy, your current concerns, and any past engagement with counselling or mental health supports. There’s no pressure to have everything figured out—we’ll explore where you’re at in a safe, collaborative way.

Standard sessions are 50 minutes. Frequency depends on your needs and goals. Some individuals start weekly, while others choose bi-weekly sessions. We can discuss a schedule that works for you.

My therapeutic framework is largely informed by Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and Dialectical Behavioural Therapy (DBT). I have also completed specialized training in grief, bereavement, school avoidance and refusal, and PTSD/C-PTSD.

My standard fee is $155 (HST exempt) per 50 minute session.
