Psychiatrists are medical doctors who can diagnose mental health disorders and prescribe medication.

Psychologists have a PhD level education in Psychology and have the ability to diagnose, but cannot prescribe medication. They also might provide talk therapy, psychometric testing, and psychological assessments or a combination of these.

Psychotherapists have expertise in personalized, non-medication-based therapy. They have the ability to assess, however cannot diagnose or prescribe medications. If you’re seeking emotional well-being, personal growth, or specific therapeutic approaches, consulting a psychotherapist can be a highly effective choice tailored to your unique needs and preferences.

*I work alongside a Registered Psychologist who is able to diagnose so if you are looking for a diagnosis I am able to help with this

You are able to self-refer and you can book online here. You may choose to have a referral for income tax purposes or if your insurance requires you to do so.

During our first couple of meetings, we'll start with a structured assessment and dive into meaningful exploration at a pace that feels comfortable for you. These first sessions are all about getting to know your needs and goals and making sure you feel relaxed in my therapy office. I get that meeting a new therapist can be nerve-wracking, no matter how much experience you have with therapy. My main goal is to create a warm, welcoming space where you feel comfortable and supported right from the start.

Yes, many insurance companies and workplaces cover a certain amount of counselling provided by Registered Psychotherapists. For each counselling session, you will receive a receipt after payment. This receipt can be submitted to your insurance company for reimbursement, or you can use it for tax purposes. Additionally, our services are supervised by a Registered Psychologist, whose credentials will also appear on your receipt to ensure compliance with insurance requirements. Please consult your specific insurance provider or workplace benefits administrator (HR) to confirm the extent of your coverage for counselling services. Unfortunately this service is not covered by OHIP.

My client hours are Mondays 10-8, and Tuesday-Friday 10-7. Please reach out if you require a time outside of those hours as I may be able to accommodate. I look forward to working with you.

Every individual's journey towards better health is unique. The duration of therapy depends on various factors, including the nature of your condition, your personal goals, and your progress over time. Generally, short-term therapy can last anywhere from 12-20 sessions, while long-term therapy can extend for years. Remember, the ultimate goal is your wellness, and in my practice we'll support you every step of the way.

If you cancel or reschedule with less than 24 hours notice, or if you miss an appointment, you will be billed the full cost of your appointment. This helps to respect everyone's time. Thank you for your kindness and understanding.

EMDR stands for Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing and here is a great video of how it works on our brains so you can understand it better.

It has been researched and found that remote EMDR can be just as effective as in-person EMDR therapy, and may even be more effective for some clients. Because online EMDR can be done in the comfort of your own home, clients struggling with PTSD, panic disorder, anxiety and other concerns may feel more comfortable and safe in their own space.
