FAQ

Why see a therapist?

Seeing a therapist can help you understand yourself more deeply and navigate challenges with greater clarity and confidence. Therapy offers a safe, non-judgmental space to explore your feelings, heal past wounds, and build healthier patterns. Many people find that having a trained, supportive professional by their side makes difficult situations feel more manageable. You don’t have to go through life’s struggles alone—support is here when you’re ready.

How much does therapy cost?

The fee for a 50 minute therapy session is $175. I understand that investing in your well-being is a meaningful decision, and I’m committed to providing care that feels supportive and worthwhile. If you have questions about payment options, insurance reimbursement, or what to expect, I’m happy to walk you through the details. Your comfort and clarity matter throughout the process. 

How long will therapy take?

The length of therapy can depend on a number of factors such as the complexity of the problem, the size of the problem,  the person’s support system and readiness. Some individuals might see significant improvements in 3 or 4 sessions, where other people might benefit from longer involvement in therapy. The therapist will make recommendations on the length of treatment after meeting with you and your child and having a better understanding of the problem.

Where are you located? Do you offer in-person sessions?

I am located in Burlington, Ontario and offer therapy services in-person. In-person therapy provides a dedicated, confidential space where you can feel grounded and fully present. Many people find that being in the same room enhances connection and allows for fewer distractions. It’s helpful to consider practical details such as travel time, accessibility, and your comfort within the office environment when deciding if this format is right for you. For those who prefer a consistent setting and face-to-face interaction, in-person sessions can offer a supportive and focused therapeutic experience.

Do you offer online sessions?

I offer online sessions to anyone who resides in Ontario. I use a secure platform called Jane app for these appointments. Online therapy offers benefits including flexibility, comfort, and convenience. At the same time, it’s important to be aware of a few considerations, such as finding a private, quiet location where you won’t be overheard and ensuring you have a stable, secure internet connection. While online sessions can feel just as supportive as in-person ones, technical issues or interruptions can sometimes occur. With a bit of preparation, virtual therapy can be a safe, effective, and meaningful way to receive care.

How do I know if therapy is right for me?

If you’re feeling overwhelmed, anxious, stuck, or finding it difficult to manage things on your own, therapy can be helpful. You don’t need to be in crisis to benefit. Many people come to therapy simply wanting more support, clarity, or balance.

What if I have trouble opening up?

That’s completely okay and very common. Therapy moves at your pace. Building trust takes time, and you won’t be pushed to share anything before you’re ready.

Do you work with women specifically?

I primarily work with women, including those who are balancing careers, family responsibilities, and multiple roles, and who may be feeling overwhelmed or stretched thin.

Is therapy confidential?

Yes, therapy is confidential. There are a few legal exceptions (such as risk of harm to yourself or others, or legal requirements), which will be explained clearly at the start of our work together.

Do I need a referral to start therapy?

No, you do not need a referral to begin therapy. You can reach out directly to book a consultation or first session.

What happens in the first session?

The first session is an opportunity for us to get to know each other. We’ll talk about what’s bringing you to therapy, your current challenges, and what you’re hoping to get out of the process. You’re welcome to share at your own pace—there’s no pressure to have everything figured out.

How do I book a session?

You can book a session through the online booking system called Jane or by reaching out directly. If you’re not sure where to start, you’re welcome to send a message and I can help guide you.
