Frequently Asked Questions
What can therapy help with?
Therapy can support a wide range of experiences, including anxiety, emotional overwhelm, relationship challenges, life transitions, stress, self-esteem concerns, grief, trauma, and feeling disconnected from yourself or others. Many of the people I work with are insightful and capable, but feel stuck in patterns they can’t quite shift on their own.
What is your approach to psychotherapy?
My work is relational, somatic, and grounded in Gestalt therapy. Together, we pay attention to what’s happening in the moment—your thoughts, emotions, body sensations, and patterns of relating. The goal is not just symptom management, but deeper awareness, self-understanding, and meaningful change.
What happens in a therapy session?
Sessions are collaborative and tailored to you. Some sessions may involve talking through current challenges, while others may focus more on emotions, bodily sensations, relational patterns, or present-moment experiences. Therapy moves at a pace that feels manageable and supportive for you.
Is therapy covered by insurance?
Services provided by a Registered Psychotherapist are often covered under extended health benefit plans. I recommend checking with your insurance provider to confirm your specific coverage.
Do I need to know exactly what I want to talk about?
Not at all. Many people begin therapy with a general sense that something feels “off,” overwhelming, or difficult to manage. We can work together to explore what’s happening and what feels important over time.
Are sessions offered virtually or in person?
Sessions are currently offered virtually to clients across Ontario, including Toronto and surrounding areas.
How often will we meet?
This depends on your needs, goals, and preferences. Some clients benefit from weekly sessions, while others prefer biweekly or more flexible scheduling. We can discuss what feels most supportive for you.
How long are sessions?
Individual therapy sessions are typically 50 minutes unless otherwise discussed.
What if I’m nervous about starting therapy?
Starting therapy can feel vulnerable, especially if you’re used to carrying things on your own. You don’t need to have everything figured out before reaching out. The first step is simply a conversation to see whether this feels like the right fit for you.
How do I get started?
You can reach out through the contact form or book a free consultation to discuss what you’re looking for and whether working together feels like a good fit.
