While I tailor my approach to the unique needs of each client, I frequently utilize evidence-based therapeutic techniques and trauma-informed approaches from modalities such as Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavioural Therapy (DBT), Acceptance and Committment Therapy (ACT), Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), Internal Family Systems Therapy (IFS), and Narrative Therapy (NT). I also prioritize Somatic and Polyvagal techniques in all my work, as our nervous systems have a critical role in how we cope with our circumstances.

Being outdoors naturally quiets the noise in our lives. It helps us stay grounded and notice the details we usually rush past. That’s why I love offering outdoor, walk-and-talk sessions.

Since we’ll be in public, we’ll go over the logistics during our consultation—things like confidentiality, safety, weather plans, and what to do if the outdoors ever feels like "too much."

When we step out into our session, we let nature act as a co-therapist. By tuning into your senses and using non-verbal tools, we create space for your body to release tension and anxiety it’s been holding onto, naturally tapping into our curiosity and playfulness through our senses. We have plenty of gentle trails nearby where we can walk, find a quiet bench, or do an activity. (And don't worry, we're never too far from civilization when you need a restroom break!)

The length of time you spend in therapy really depends on your goals, needs, and preferences. Some people come to work through a specific challenge and may feel ready to wrap up after just a few months. Others see therapy as an ongoing space for personal growth and may choose to continue for a longer period. In the beginning of our therapeutic relationship, it will likely make sense to meet weekly or bi-weekly to become comfortable and to gain some momentum. Sustainable change and growth will take time to discover and practice. We can meet less frequently as you start to notice progress and eventually stop meeting until (or if) you need support again.

During our work together, we’ll regularly check in about how therapy is going and adjust the approach as needed. If you’re unsure where to start, we will discuss your goals during the both the consultation call and then again during your first session and decide which approach might be the best fit for you.

Registered Psychotherapists (RPs) are covered under most health plans. I am registered with the College of Registered Psychotherapists of Ontario (CRPO), Licence # 19451. Once payment is received via e-transfer or credit card, you will receive a receipt by email that you can submit to your insurance provider for reimbursement. I encourage clients to check with their insurance providers to determine their coverage details. I do not provide direct billing at this time.

Privacy is a critical factor in creating a safe space for effectively working together, and I am bound by legal and ethical boundaries as your psychotherapist. I will never discuss you or your personal information with anyone. While I consistently seek my own Supervisors for support with my practice, I do not ever use names or identifying information when discussing my work with clients.

I get it: life happens and we cannot control when there is sudden illness or a personal emergency, so I encourage all my clients to reach out to me immediately if life gets in the way of making our session. My current cancellation policy states that appointments cancelled within 24 hours may be charged the full rate, as well as No-shows may also be charged the full rate. Should issues with scheduling become a pattern, we will have a brief conversation about what’s getting in the way of working together effectively.
