Initial Consultation & Ongoing Psychotherapy
The first appointment is an opportunity for me to learn about you and your needs, and for you to experience what it is like to work with me. I see clients in person in office, but online videoconferencing or telephone sessions can be provided if necessary.
A typical counselling session is 60 minutes or 90 minutes in length. The total duration of psychotherapy is something we determine together, through ongoing discussion and review. I take a collaborative approach to therapy and work with my clients to set goals to work towards and develop an effective treatment plan.

Check with your insurance company to see if you have coverage for “registered psychotherapists”.
Insurance coverage varies greatly. I cannot predict whether your policy will cover the services we provide in our office. You are responsible for payment of all services at the time of service. Insurance receipts are provided according to CRPO standards and may be submitted to your provider where eligible. Clear fee policies are shared before services begin, and a detailed receipt is provided for sessions.
Therapy sessions are 60 or 90 minutes in length. Session frequency and duration are collaboratively determined based on your goals and needs.
Standard Fee:
60-minute session — $200
Financial conversations are welcome, we can clarify options and expectations before beginning work.
Sliding scale structure available
The cost of a session can be adjusted based on your financial situation. This model allows clients to pay a fee that corresponds to their income level or for clients who do not have insurance coverage. This approach aims to promote inclusivity and equitable access to support services.
Policies
Cancelled or Missed Appointments
Clients will assume responsibility for a $50 fee of an appointment that is cancelled with less than 24 hours notice. However, sometimes emergencies happen and there can be exceptions.
CRPO & Professional Standards
I adhere to the professional standards and ethical requirements of the College of Registered Psychotherapists of Ontario (CRPO), which regulates psychotherapy in the public interest. This includes clear boundaries, evidence-based practices, confidentiality, and transparent representation of services.
You can verify my registration through the CRPO public register.
Confidentiality
One of the most important rights of the person seeking counselling is confidentiality. Information revealed by you during counselling sessions will be kept strictly confidential and will not be revealed to any other person or agency without your written permission, with the following exception:
Duty to Warn. If an individual intends to take harmful, dangerous, or criminal action against another human being, or against himself or herself, it is the counsellor's duty to warn appropriate individuals or agencies of such intentions. Also, any actual or suspected acts of child, elder or disabled person abuse (including physical abuse, sexual abuse, unlawful sexual intercourse, neglect, emotional and psychological abuse) will need to be reported to the appropriate agencies by the counsellor.
Scope of Practice
I do not claim guaranteed healing, transformation, or outcomes
I do not offer prescription, diagnosis , but I help support coping, insight, and emotional regulation.
Mindfulness, spirituality, and reflective practices are offered as tools within a therapeutic context, grounded in psychology and evidence-informed approaches.
