What should I expect from my first session?

We'll begin by going over confidentiality and obtaining your consent through the necessary documents. From there, the work begins — at your pace. The first session can feel nerve-wracking, and that's completely normal. There's no pressure to share more than you're comfortable with. Our time together is dedicated entirely to you, and that will always be true.

Do I need a referral to get started?

No referral needed. You can reach out directly to book a free consultation, or schedule your first session anytime through my online booking platform.

Will my insurance cover my sessions?

Most likely, yes. Extended health plans that include coverage for Registered Psychotherapists will typically cover individual sessions. Because direct billing is not available, you'll pay at the time of your session and submit the receipt to your provider for reimbursement. Check with your insurer before your first session to confirm your specific coverage.

How are therapy sessions conducted?

Therapy sessions are available in person or virtually to provide flexibility and accommodate your preferences and needs. In-person sessions offer the opportunity to meet with your therapist in a private, comfortable office setting, while virtual sessions allow you to access therapy conveniently from a secure location. Both options provide a confidential and supportive space to engage in meaningful therapeutic work.

What is your cancellation policy?

When you book a session, that time is reserved exclusively for you. A minimum of 48 hours notice is required to cancel or reschedule without charge. Late cancellations and missed appointments are charged at the full session rate. This policy exists to respect the time and commitment of both of us.

How do I know if you're the right therapist for me?

That's exactly what the free 15-minute consultation is for. Finding the right fit matters — therapy works best when you feel genuinely safe, respected, and understood. If at any point you feel we're not the right match, I'm happy to provide referrals to other registered psychotherapists in Ontario who may better meet your needs.

How long is an individual therapy session?

Individual therapy sessions are booked for 60 minutes, which includes 50 minutes of direct clinical time. This dedicated time provides space to explore your concerns, work toward your goals, and support meaningful progress in therapy.
