Welcome.
I’m glad you’re here.
As a registered psychotherapist using Internal Family Systems (IFS), I take a nonjudgmental, gentle, and curious approach to mental health.
I offer counselling to individuals (18+) and couples in Ontario.
Finding the right therapist is important!
To help ensure we’re a good fit, I offer a free, 20-minute consultation. This is a chance to ask questions and talk about your hopes and goals for therapy. Contact me to set up a time to chat, or to book an appointment.
About Me
I came to the field of mental health through writing.
As a freelance writer and editor, I helped my clients to find their voices, tell their stories, make connections, understand their goals, and discover the deeper meanings behind surface events.
I aim to do the same thing as a therapist.
I have found that the skills I honed as a writer and editor — focused listening, interviewing, insight, the ability to create a meaningful story from seemingly disparate events — are just as relevant in the therapy space. I look forward to helping you tell your story with greater clarity, compassion, and capacity for joy.
I have a master’s degree in counselling psychology (MACP). I’ve completed IFS Level 1 training, and am completing IFS Level 2 training in couples counselling (Intimacy from the Inside Out). I am a certified practitioner of eye-movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR).

My practice is online only. We meet via a secure online link on the Jane App platform. Before your sessions, I will send text and email reminders with the meeting link. Before our first meeting, I will send you a link to my online consent and information forms. Please review and complete these before we meet.
Please find a quiet, private space for your session so that we can work together without being interrupted, and set your phone to “do not disturb.”
-
Individual sessions are $175 for a 50-minute session and $255 for an 80-minute session.
Couple sessions are $200 for a 50-minute session and $275 for an 80-minute session.
Payments are charged to your credit card on file on the Jane app, or can be made via etransfer.

If you need to change or cancel your appointment, I require 24 hours’ notice. Missed appointments, and appointments changed or cancelled with less than 24 hours’ notice will be billed at the full rate.
-
I bill directly for our sessions. My psychotherapy services are not covered by provincial health insurance (OHIP). You may have extended health benefits through an employer, a partner’s employer, or a private plan that may cover all or a portion of the costs of our sessions. If that’s the case, you can submit your receipts to your insurance provider for the reimbursement you are entitled to under your plan.

To make an appointment, please send me an email.
