Services
I currently provide 50-minute individual counselling sessions for adults, offered virtually or by telephone.
My session rates are set at a flat rate of $150. As a Registered Social Worker, my counselling services are often covered by extended health plans. Please contact your provider to confirm your coverage.
To help you determine if we are a good fit, I offer a complimentary 20-minute phone consultation. I would be happy to connect and answer any questions you may have.
Areas of focus:
Chronic Stress & Burnout
When the nervous system is stuck in overdrive, daily life can feel exhausting. Chronic stress often shows up as anxiety, overthinking, hypervigilance, and disrupted sleep.
Therapy focuses on calming the body, shifting unhelpful thought patterns, and building practical coping strategies so life feels more manageable, grounded, and resilient.
Grief and Loss
Grief can feel heavy, isolating, and unpredictable — whether the loss is recent or long ago.
Counselling provides a compassionate space to process emotions, honour loved ones, and learn how to carry grief while reconnecting with meaning, connection, and everyday life.Chronic illness and pain
Trauma
Difficult or overwhelming experiences — from childhood wounds to recent events — can leave lasting effects on the nervous system, relationships, and sense of safety.
Trauma-informed therapy, including EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) and somatic approaches, helps process painful memories, reduce triggers, and support lasting emotional healing.
Parents
Parenting is meaningful and demanding at every stage, from pregnancy and postpartum through childhood and adolescence. The pressures of family life can feel overwhelming.
Counselling helps parents strengthen coping skills, improve communication, and create calmer, more connected home environments that feel sustainable and supportive.
How does it work?
Step 1: Connection & Assessment
This phase focuses on building trust and understanding client needs. Background information, current concerns, and personal strengths are explored. Establishing safety and rapport provides the foundation for effective therapy.
Step 2: Goal Setting & Therapeutic Approach
Clear therapy goals are collaboratively defined to guide sessions and monitor progress. Evidence-based approaches, such as talk therapy, somatic techniques, or EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing), are tailored to each client’s needs. Therapy remains collaborative, with the client actively involved in the process.
Step 3: Healing, Growth & Review
Progress is evaluated, and goals are revisited or updated as needed. Therapy strategies continue to support resilience, self-regulation, and well-being. As goals are met, sessions may become less frequent, focusing on maintaining gains and addressing new challenges as they arise.
