Frequently Asked Questions

If you’re feeling overwhelmed, disconnected, anxious, stuck, or simply curious about your own growth, counselling can provide support, insight, and emotional regulation tools. You don’t need to be in crisis to benefit from therapy—sometimes people come in simply because they want to understand themselves more deeply or build healthier patterns.
If you’re unsure, booking one session can help you get a feel for the process.

A standard counselling session is 55 minutes and the fee is $150 per session plus GST. Payment can be made by e-transfer or credit card at the time of your appointment.
Many extended health benefits cover counselling services—please check with your provider to confirm your eligibility. I also offer direct billing.

You can schedule an appointment by reaching out through the booking link, my Jane app,  or email. Once you book, I’ll send all the information you need, including intake forms and instructions for your first session. I’m happy to answer any questions you have along the way.

Your first session is about getting to know you—your story, your goals, and what you hope to gain from therapy. We’ll talk about what’s been weighing on you, discuss any symptoms or stressors, and create a plan that feels supportive and doable. You guide the conversation; I walk alongside you.

Counselling with me is collaborative, compassionate, and client-centered. In our sessions, you can expect a safe, non-judgmental space where we explore your experiences, emotions, and goals at a pace that feels right for you. I use evidence-based therapeutic approaches—including person-centered therapy, cognitive behavioural strategies, and trauma-informed care—to support emotional regulation, self-awareness, and overall mental well-being.
There’s no pressure to have the “right” words. You show up as you are, and we work from there.

You don’t need to prepare anything special. Simply come as you are.
Some clients find it helpful to jot down what has been coming up for them or what they want to focus on. Others prefer to share freely in the moment.
Together, we’ll create a space where you can slow down, breathe, and be honest about what you need.

Yes. I provide secure online counselling via Jane app for clients across Canada. Online sessions offer flexibility and accessibility while still providing the same therapeutic support, structure, and confidentiality as in-person care. I will also have a physical location starting January 2026.

Online counselling can be just as effective as in person counselling for: Anxiety and overwhelm, ADHD supports and executive functioning, grief and loss, trauma and coping skills, boundary-setting and communication,
emotional regulation, self-esteem and identity development, as well as stress and burnout.


Remote sessions offer privacy, flexibility, and accessibility for anyone in Canada.

Absolutely. Confidentiality is a core part of ethical counselling practice. Your information is protected and kept private, with the only exceptions being situations where safety is at risk or required by law (for example, harm to self or others). We review all confidentiality guidelines together in your first session.

Therapy is not one-size-fits-all. Some clients feel supported after a few sessions, while others prefer ongoing counselling for deeper healing and long-term support.
We work together to determine a frequency and timeline that aligns with your goals, comfort level, and personal needs.
