Are fees covered by health insurance?

Please check with your provider first to ensure Registered Psychotherapists are covered by your insurance in Ontario. Currently, I do not offer direct billing as a Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying).

Do you offer sliding scale fees?

Please reach out directly to inquire further.

How do I know if you are the right therapist for me?

To determine if I am the right therapist for you, I recommend booking a 15 minute consultation call or video session to meet with me to discuss your mental health goals and to see if you feel like we are a good fit.

What are your fees and how long are sessions?

Currently my fees are $140 for a 50 minute session. Sessions typically run for 50 minutes including 10 minutes of preparation time or booking time.

Do I need a referral to book a session?

No, you do not need a referral to book your first session.

What is your cancellation policy?

Your appointment time is reserved just for you. A late cancellation or missed visit leaves a hole in the therapist’s day that could have been filled by another client. As such, we require 24 hours notice for any cancellations or changes to your appointment. Clients who provide less than 24 hours notice, or miss their appointment, will be charged the full session fee.

Do you offer in-person sessions?

Yes, I am currently providing in-person sessions on Fridays from 9am-3pm in Whitby, ON. I am also partnered with a local group practice in Newcastle, ON offering in-person sessions on Mondays and Thursdays.
