About Me

I came to the field of mental health through writing.

As a freelance writer and editor for clients including the New York Times, the CBC, Today’s Parent, and the Canadian Cancer Society, 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 and 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 web 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. Please set your phone to “do not disturb.”

  • Individual sessions are $185 for a 60-minute session and $255 for a 80-minute session.

    Couple sessions are $275 for a 75-minute session. Please note that I book couples biweekly for blocks of 8-10 sessions.

    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.
