Book a free 30-minute consultation. We’ll chat, see if we click, and go from there. No awkward commitment required.
Nope. You can book directly without getting anyone’s permission.
Yes! It’s 30 minutes, virtual, and completely free.
You tell me a little about what’s going on, I explain how I work, and we see if it feels like a good fit.
We’ll talk about what brought you to therapy and what you hope will change. You do not need to unpack your entire life story in 60 minutes.
You can book online through Jane, my secure booking system. Nice and easy.
That’s completely okay. “I just know something needs to change” is a perfectly good place to start.
Usually weekly or biweekly, depending on your needs, schedule, and budget. Therapy should fit into your life, not take it over.
It depends. Some people come for a specific issue, while others stay longer. There is no therapy stopwatch ticking in the background.
Totally normal. Starting therapy can feel a bit like a first date, except you get to talk about yourself the whole time.
Nope. Formally diagnosed, self-identified, questioning, or deep into a three-hour research rabbit hole, you’re welcome here.
No. I provide psychotherapy, but I do not complete formal diagnostic assessments.
Absolutely. We can explore your experiences and support needs, but I cannot provide a formal diagnosis.
It means we are not trying to “fix” your brain. We’re figuring out how to support it.
Yes. Autistic adults are a major focus of my practice.
Yes! We can work on emotional regulation, burnout, executive functioning, relationships, and the 47 tabs currently open in your brain.
Yes. If you need routine but also immediately become bored by routine, you are in good company.
Yes. We can look at masking, sensory needs, overwhelming demands, boundaries, and how to recover without adding “recover from burnout” to your to-do list.
Definitely. Therapy can be a place to explore who you are underneath all the expectations and carefully rehearsed social scripts.
Yes, when virtual psychotherapy fits the person’s needs, goals, and preferred way of communicating.
Absolutely. Caregivers are my bread and butter, my niche, and where my passion truly lies. As a parent of a child with complex special needs, I understand what it feels like to love fiercely, advocate constantly, and carry a whole lot behind the scenes.
Please let it be about you! You deserve support too, even if you are used to being the one holding everything together.
Burnout, guilt, grief, stress, advocacy fatigue, relationships, resentment, boundaries, and the mental load nobody else seems to notice.
Yes. We can organize your thoughts, prepare for meetings, strengthen your advocacy skills, and process the stress of constantly having to fight for support.
Absolutely. You cannot pour from an empty cup, especially when someone has taken the cup, lost the lid, and spilled juice on the floor.
Nope. You are doing your best in circumstances that are often genuinely hard.
Yes. We’ll look beneath the behaviour to understand what may be communicated, needed, avoided, or overwhelmed.
Yes. We can work on saying no, tolerating the guilt afterward, and resisting the urge to send a five-paragraph apology.
Not at all! I also support clients with anxiety, depression, postpartum concerns, women’s issues, divorce, life transitions, codependency, enmeshment, and children’s school or behavioural challenges. Take a look at my other areas of support to see if what you’re going through fits, and if you’re unsure, just ask!
Yes! I have completed Gottman Level 1 training and will soon be starting Level 2. I’ve supported multiple couples and genuinely enjoy understanding the bigger picture while helping partners balance different personalities, communication styles, and needs. Every couple has their own unique dynamic, and that is what makes the work so interesting!
I draw from CBT, emotion-focused, attachment-based, narrative, person-centred, and Internal Family Systems (IFS) therapy. Basically, I have more than one tool in the toolbox.
CBT looks at how thoughts, emotions, and behaviours affect one another. It is more than someone telling you to “just think positively.” I promise.
No. You are a person, not a therapy template.
It can include talking, reflection, practical strategies, worksheets, visual tools, or exercises.
Yes, if you want them. I aim for realistic strategies, not a 14-step morning routine starting at 5:00 a.m.
Warm, genuine, practical, and straightforward. I’ll validate you, laugh with you, and gently challenge you when needed.
Yes. My work is shaped by both professional experience and lived experience within my family. I truly understand that real life does not always follow the textbook.
Yes. All sessions are virtual for clients located in Ontario. Comfy pants are fully acceptable.
I offer 60-minute and 90-minute sessions, depending on your needs and how much ground you want to cover.
A phone, tablet, or computer, a stable internet connection, and as much privacy as your household will realistically allow.
Tell me. We can discuss your comfort, accessibility needs, and what helps you communicate best.
A 60-minute session is $160. Additional appointment options and fees are available through the booking page.
It may be. Every insurance plan has its own rules because apparently simplicity was not invited to the meeting. Check whether your plan covers services provided by an RP (Qualifying).
Please provide at least 24 hours’ notice. Late cancellations and missed appointments may be charged because, unfortunately, “my brain forgot” does not make the time slot reappear.
