No! I have an office in West-Hamilton at 1685 Main St. W.- I currently practice there on Mondays from 10-8pm. I am available Tuesday-Fridays online. Find a comfortable spot to connect from the comfort of your home, don’t worry about traffic, and let’s get started, whether in-person or online.

Select sliding scale spots are available at $125/hr. Please reach out if you feel that you may reach the requirements for this position.

Psychiatrists are medical doctors who can diagnose mental health conditions and prescribe medication. Psychologists hold a PhD in Psychology and can diagnose mental health issues, but they don’t prescribe medication. They may also offer talk therapy, psychological assessments, and testing. Psychotherapists specialize in personalized, non-medication-based therapy. While they can assess your needs, they don’t diagnose or prescribe medication. If you’re looking for emotional support, personal growth, or specific therapeutic approaches, a psychotherapist can be a great fit. I also work with a Registered Psychologist who can provide diagnoses if needed.

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.

In our first few sessions, we’ll begin with a structured assessment and ease into meaningful conversations at a pace that feels right for you. These initial meetings are all about understanding your needs and goals while helping you feel at ease. I know starting with a new therapist can feel a bit daunting, so my priority is to create a warm, welcoming space where you feel supported and comfortable from the very beginning.

Yes, many insurance plans and workplaces provide coverage for counselling with Registered Psychotherapists. After each session, you’ll receive a receipt that you can submit to your insurance provider for reimbursement or use for tax purposes. Additionally, since my services are supervised by a Registered Psychologist, their credentials will appear on your receipt to meet insurance requirements. Please check with your insurance provider or HR department to confirm your coverage. Note: This service is not covered by OHIP.

I offer therapy sessions on Mondays from 10 AM to 8 PM, and Tuesday through Friday from 10 AM to 7 PM. If you need a time outside of these hours, feel free to reach out—I’ll do my best to accommodate you. I’m excited to work 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 need to cancel or reschedule your session, please provide at least 24 hours’ notice. Cancellations or missed appointments without sufficient notice will be billed at the full session rate. This policy helps ensure that everyone’s time is respected. Thank you for your 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. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rg842qP83yc

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.
