What is Psychotherapy? How is it different from other mental health professionals?
The definition of Psychotherapy can be found here as listed by the College of Registered Psychotherapists in Ontario. Simply put, Psychotherapy is a collaborative process in which a client and a therapist work together to manage thoughts, feelings, behaviors, and relationships to improve quality of life, improve mental health and reduce distress.
It is important to note that I cannot provide a diagnosis or prescribe medication. For a diagnosis, you can seek support from a Psychologist/Psychiatrist and for medication, you can seek a Psychiatrist.

What is your approach to psychotherapy?
There are many different modalities of psychotherapy. I use an Eclectic Approach where I combine CBT, DBT, Psychoeducation, Trauma Informed, Strength Based, and Neurodiversity Affirming Approach. I understand that not all treatment approaches are designed for everyone, and therefore, when a client engages in therapy with me, I am consistently seek feedback to make my approach more culturally sensitive and relevant.
How do I know you are the right psychotherapist for me?
You can schedule a 15-minute no-obligation consultation for free where I can address any concerns and questions you have and we can decide if I am the right fit for you. If you start your journey with me, and you feel I am not the right fit for you (e.g. there is a conflict of interest, you need other specialized services, etc.) I can support you to find another therapist and provide a smooth transition before you end services with me.
How much do you charge per session?
I charge CAD $150.00 per 55-minute session.
All payments are made through e-transfer.
My services are not covered through OHIP.
Do you provide direct billing with insurance?
At the moment, I do not provide direct billing with insurance. I recommend that you check with your insurance provider if they cover Psychotherapists or Psychotherapy. You will be provided with receipts once you pay for the service, which you can use to get reimbursed.
Do you provide a sliding scale?
Yes, I do. However, all my current sliding scale spots are full and if you are interested, I can put you on the waitlist for the sliding scale.
Do you offer in-person sessions?
At the moment, I only provide video sessions through Owl Platform. I can work remotely with any client based in Ontario.
How long are the sessions and how often do they take place?
The sessions are 55 minutes long with exceptions. The sessions usually take place once a week but depending on your needs you can choose to have sessions once every two weeks or once a month. If there are any financial barriers, let me know, and I will do my best to help you find another service provider who is a good fit for you.
How much time do I have to commit to therapy?
Your participation in therapy is completely voluntary, and you can stop anytime you want. Individual needs for psychotherapy vary, and depending on the client’s needs, you might need anything from a few sessions to support until a year or more. If you can commit to therapy for only a limited time due to scheduling difficulties or lack of resources, you can discuss it with me, and we can plan accordingly.
Are you available for speaker engagements, podcast recordings, or workshop facilitation?
