You don’t need to be in crisis or have everything figured out to start therapy. Many people come to therapy feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or simply curious about themselves. If something in you is seeking support, that’s often reason enough to begin.

The first session is a gentle conversation where we get to know each other. We’ll talk about what’s bringing you in, what you’re hoping for, and what feels important to you right now. There’s no pressure to share everything — we go at your pace.

It's also an opportunity for you to ask me any questions that you might have about me - about my experience, my work or anything you might be curious about.

There’s no "one size fits all," but here’s what to expect: Most people feel an initial sense of relief. However, deep-rooted change (especially trauma work) is a marathon, not a sprint. We don't just put a band-aid on your symptoms; we rebuild your connection to yourself. It might get a little "heavy" in the middle, but that’s exactly where the change happens. I'm here to walk that path with you until things start to feel light again.

Not really. You’re welcome to reflect on what’s been weighing on you or what you’d like support with, but you don’t need notes, a diagnosis, or a clear goal. Just come as you are.

My work is gentle, relational, and trauma-informed. I draw from attachment-based therapy, somatic (body-based) approaches, trauma therapy and creativity. I believe healing happens through safety, connection, and attunement. I don’t believe in being the "expert" of your life; I believe you already hold your own inner wisdom. My role is to offer the attunement and accompaniment you need to rediscover that voice and navigate your journey toward wholeness.

Therapy can be short-term or longer-term, depending on your needs and goals. Some clients come for a few sessions during a transition, while others stay longer to work through deeper patterns. We’ll check in together and adjust as needed.

Many extended health plans cover sessions with a Registered Clinical Counsellor (RCC). I recommend checking with your provider. I also work with some EAP and third-party providers. Please reach out if you have questions.

That’s very common — and very human. Starting therapy can feel vulnerable. We’ll take things slowly, and you’re always in control of what you share. Your nervous system sets the pace.

Yes. Confidentiality is an essential part of therapy. There are a few legal and ethical limits (such as immediate risk of harm), which we’ll review together in the first session so everything is clear and transparent.

You can book a free consultation or a session through the booking link on my website. If you’re unsure, a free 15 minute consultation can be a great way to see if we’re a good fit.

I understand that life happens, and sometimes plans need to change. At the same time, I hold session times specifically for you, and short-notice cancellations make it difficult to offer that time to someone else.

• Cancellations or changes made more than 48 hours in advance are not charged.

• Changes made between 48 and 24 hours before your session are billed at 50% of the session fee.

• Changes made within 24 hours of your session, or missed appointments, are billed at the full session fee.

This policy applies to both in-person and virtual sessions.

Exceptions: I do my best to approach this with compassion. In cases of sudden illness, emergencies, or unforeseen circumstances, please reach out as soon as possible. These situations are considered on a case-by-case basis.

If you still have questions or something isn’t clear, you’re welcome to reach out. There’s no such thing as a “wrong” question here.
