Specializations · Seven chapters

Seven areas of the practice.

Each chapter describes how the work shows up in the room. Most clients work in two or three of these at once; the chapters are not rigid lanes.

01
Chapter 01

Grief work and bereavement counseling

Loss has its own rhythm. We sit with what is there and we do not push past it. Gestalt-informed, with creative tools where they serve the work.

  • + Sudden and anticipated loss
  • + Anniversary and memory work
  • + Complicated grief
  • + Pet loss
  • + Loss of identity, role, or function
  • + Building meaning after
02
Chapter 02

Depression and anxiety support

Most clients arrive with both, often tangled together. We work on what is keeping them in the room and what is making them louder right now.

  • + Persistent low mood
  • + Generalised and social anxiety
  • + Panic and avoidance
  • + Rumination and intrusive thinking
  • + Sleep and energy patterns
  • + Practical coping that holds
03
Chapter 03

Trauma and post-traumatic growth

Trauma is processed at the pace of the nervous system. We use phase-based work, focusing on stabilisation first, then careful processing, then integration. Post-traumatic growth is the long view we hold together.

  • + Single-event trauma
  • + Developmental trauma
  • + Recent traumatic experiences
  • + Stabilisation and nervous-system regulation
  • + Re-entry into daily life
  • + The slow work of growth after
04
Chapter 04

Conflict navigation and mediation

Drawing on an MA in Conflict Resolution and Mediation, this work supports clients caught in interpersonal or family conflict. We work on how the conflict is happening, not just what it is about.

  • + Family-of-origin conflict
  • + Workplace tension
  • + Partner communication patterns
  • + Co-parenting dynamics
  • + Sibling and adult-sibling work
  • + Repair after rupture
05
Chapter 05

Boundary setting and self-worth

Many clients arrive with a thin sense of where they end and others begin. This work is practical, structured, and ongoing, with the boundaries themselves often being the easier part once the inner work has begun.

  • + Identifying values and limits
  • + Naming what is and is not okay
  • + Holding boundaries under pressure
  • + Self-worth that does not depend on others' reactions
  • + Boundaries with family of origin
  • + Boundaries at work
06
Chapter 06

Anger management and coping strategies

Anger almost always has a smaller, harder emotion underneath. We work on slowing the response, naming what is actually present, and building tools that work in real life, not just in the office.

  • + Recognising the early signs
  • + Cooling-down protocols
  • + Identifying the emotion underneath
  • + Repair after an outburst
  • + Long-term lifestyle adjustments
  • + Family-of-origin patterns around anger
07
Chapter 07

Teenager and young-adult work

Drawing on Child and Youth Worker training plus a Master's in mediation, this stream of the practice serves teenagers and young adults specifically. Often parents are part of the intake; the room is for the young person.

  • + School and academic strain
  • + Friendship and identity
  • + Family-system tensions
  • + Coming out and identity exploration
  • + Stress, low mood, and self-worth
  • + Coping skills for early adulthood
Frequently asked

Questions, answered.

What's the difference between a consultation, intake, a regular session, and an extended session? +
The consultation is a 15-minute introduction to get a sense of who I am and how I work therapeutically. The intake process gives a deeper glimpse into how we work together, with length varying based on individual circumstances. Regular therapy sessions are generally 60 minutes but somewhat flexible, scheduled based on need and availability.
How do I get started? +
Explore the website and consider booking a free consultation with me and with other potential therapists, so you can genuinely feel out who you connect with.
Do you offer phone, online video, or in-person sessions? +
All consultations, intakes, sessions, and workshops are currently offered online by video communications, through the HIPAA approved platform Simple Practice. In-person services are hoped for in the future.
What are your fees, and do you offer a sliding scale? +
60-minute session $150 (or $135 +HST historic rate, confirmed at intake). 90-minute session $180 +HST. Couples or family 60-minute $180 +HST. I do not formally offer a sliding scale.
What happens if I have to cancel, reschedule, or miss my appointment? +
Cancellations within 24 hours incur full charges. There are no refunds offered. A one-time fee reduction may be considered for unavoidable circumstances.
What is the main difference between a Psychiatrist, Psychologist, and Psychotherapist? +
Psychiatrists can offer and prescribe medication for diagnosed conditions. Psychologists provide assessment, diagnose, and sign mental-health notes. Psychotherapists focus directly on supporting individuals through different training and techniques, without prescribing medication.
How does this work with work benefits, insurance providers, taxes, and OHIP? +
Unfortunately, we are not yet covered by OHIP. Many extended health plans cover Registered Psychotherapists. Please contact your HR person or specific provider directly. Ontario residents may claim non-reimbursed psychotherapy services as a Medical Expense on their income tax return.
Do you work with minors, families, schools, or other medical professionals? +
I have to use my professional judgement and exercise appropriate care when determining which minors are able to provide informed consent. Substitute Decision Makers may be required for younger clients.
What about my legal right to privacy, confidentiality, and informed consent? +
Information is kept strictly private and confidential, disclosed only under specific legal circumstances: eliminating imminent serious harm, suspected child abuse or neglect, court orders, or professional abuse.
Do you offer legal letters, testimonials for insurance claims, custody battles, or court documents? +
I do not sign legal documents, insurance claims, or court documents unless required to do so by law. Clients bear financial responsibility for legal costs incurred, lawyer fees, and hourly rates for paid work.
How do I get someone I care about into therapy? +
Therapy is a completely voluntary process that needs continuous consent all the way along. I cannot contact individuals on behalf of others. Each person has the right of refusal at any time.
What if I am in crisis, have an emergency, or need an urgent response? +
I do not offer crisis or emergency response services. For immediate help: Ontario Suicide Support Hotline 1-833-456-4566, Crisis Hotline Canada-wide 1-800-448-3000, or 9-8-8 (Suicide Crisis Helpline). In immediate danger, call 911.
