Therapy isn’t always the most accessible, especially if you don’t have coverage. I do offer some sliding scale options in special circumstances. If you cannot afford the full fee, I encourage you to inquire about this during the intake call and we can discuss possible options further.

Before upcoming sessions, it is helpful to set an intention by thinking about what you’d like us to focus on. This helps to ensure you are getting the most of your session. Some clients like to take notes during session and will bring notebooks/journals.

It can also be helpful to schedule/factor in time to rest and decompress after your session.

Once you submit an inquiry, I’ll set up a time with you to have a phone consultation so we can assess whether we are a good fit.  Before you submit an inquiry, I recommend reading through the about pages to learn more about me and my approach.

There is no set amount of sessions you have to attend, and everyone is different in terms of what they need. This is the same for frequency – you get to decide how often you would like to come. You also have no obligation to continue coming for therapy and you can stop at any time.

Yes – if the following concern(s) are your main concern that you want to focus on, then I recommend seeking a therapist who specializes in these areas:

• OCD
• Psychosis and related conditions
• BPD (Dialectical Behaviour Therapy is most often recommended)
• Eating disorders (active)
• Addiction
  
  Approaches I don’t specialize in:
  
• Child & adolescent therapy
• Couples & family counselling
• EMDR
• Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT)

Mentorship is about the development of you as a person-therapist. Although specific clients and your work may prompt some exploration, the focus is primarily on you and what it means for you to be a therapist. Consultation usually centres around a specific client case you need support with. Consultation does involve exploring your own experiences with the client, but the focus is still case-specific (not your development as a whole as is the case with mentorship).

My colleagues and I teach existential therapy at our institute: the Canadian Institute of Existential Analysis and Logotherapy. It’s a bit of a mouthful, so we just go by CIEAL (pronounced SEAL). We teach the foundations of existential therapy, as well as specialized topics for both professional and personal enrichment. Be sure to check it out– we would love the opportunity to engage with you!
