Will my insurance cover therapy?
You may be eligible for psychotherapy services under your insurance plan, please check with your insurance provider in regards to your personal coverage. I am unable to direct bill insurance providers, however a receipt is issued at the end of each session. This will allow you to submit to your provider for reimbursement provided your insurance provider cover psychotherapy services.
How long should I expect to be in therapy for?
On average, the duration of therapy ranges from 12 to 16 sessions, sometimes shorter and sometimes longer. You can continue therapy for as long as you feel necessary and helpful. However, I can provide a recommendation regarding duration of therapy after our first few sessions.
How frequently should I attend therapy?
I offer sessions on a weekly or bi-weekly basis as this allows for deeper and more sustainable work to be done. True change requires time, hard work and commitment.
How are sessions held?
All sessions are held virtually, via a secure platform. This platform can be accessed via computer or phone.

Brainspotting (BSP), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Cognitive Behavioural Therapy - Enhanced (Eating Disorders), Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT) and Motivational Interviewing (MI).
What is your policy on confidentiality?
Topics discussed in therapy are kept confidential, even the fact that we know each other remains confidential. Personal information gathered in the course of therapy will be used in accordance with the purposes outlined above and will not be disclosed except in cases of the exceptions outlined below or when consent is provided. Confidentiality is a key to the effectiveness of the therapy process, so the personal information you share will be kept confidential. Confidentiality continues after the end of the counselling relationship. Some exceptions to confidentiality include: (a) If it is my opinion that a child is or may be at risk of abuse or neglect, or in need of protection; (b) If it is my opinion that you or another person is at clear risk of imminent harm; (c) If I am called to speak in legal matters where keeping confidentiality would be in contravention of the law; (d) If I am under assessment by a regulatory body such as the College of Registered Psychotherapists of Ontario.
What is your cancellation policy?
Your appointment time is reserved just for you. A late cancellation or missed visit leaves a hole in the day that could have been filled by another client. As such, we require 24 hours notice for any cancellations or changes to your appointment. Patients who provide less than 24 hours notice, or miss their appointment, will be charged a cancellation fee to the card on file. Please note that most insurance companies will not reimburse for missed sessions. Your session will be marked as missed/no show if you did not present yourself virtually or by phone within the session time.
