FAQs

The first session is a chance for us to get to know each other. We'll discuss what brings you to therapy, your goals, and any concerns or questions you may have. It’s also a space for you to see if you feel comfortable with my approach. There is no pressure to share everything at once — we will go at your pace. 

Yes, confidentiality is a cornerstone of therapy. What you share stays between us, with a few legal exceptions — such as if there is a risk of harm to yourself or others, or if required by law (e.g., in cases involving child abuse). We’ll review confidentiality in detail during your first session. 

Yes, I offer both in-person and virtual therapy sessions. Virtual sessions are conducted through a secure, encrypted video platform that meets all privacy standards. You can choose the format that feels most comfortable and convenient for you. 

Fees are discussed during the initial consultation. I do offer a limited number of sliding scale spots based on financial need. Please feel free to ask about this — accessibility is important to me. 

Yes, many extended health benefit plans in Ontario and Nova Scotia cover services provided by Registered Social Workers (RSW). I will provide receipts that you can submit to your insurance provider. It’s best to check your plan to confirm your coverage details. 

Therapy is a personal journey, and the length of treatment varies. Some clients come for a few sessions to work through a specific issue, while others engage in longer-term work for deeper exploration and change. We’ll regularly review your progress to ensure therapy is meeting your needs. 

I work with adults experiencing a range of concerns, including:

Trauma and PTSD

Grief and loss

Relationship and attachment issues

Workplace stress and burnout

Cultural adjustment and immigration-related challenges

Each session typically lasts 50 minutes. The frequency depends on your needs and preferences — many clients start with weekly sessions, then adjust over time. We’ll decide together what works best for you.
