Sliding scale means that session fees can be adjusted based on your financial situation. I recognize that financial circumstances can vary, and I aim to offer flexibility where possible while maintaining a sustainable practice.
If cost is a barrier, you’re welcome to mention this during your free consultation. We can have a brief, transparent conversation about your needs and determine whether a reduced rate is available at that time.
Sliding scale spots are limited and may not always be available, but I’m happy to discuss options with you or help connect you with additional resources if needed.

Many clients are able to use their extended health benefits to cover psychotherapy with a Registered Psychotherapist (RP or RP-Q). Direct billing is available for select insurance providers. Feel free to reach out to see if your plan is eligible.
Coverage depends on your specific insurance plan, so it’s best to check directly with your insurer. Receipts are provided for reimbursement.

Starting therapy can feel intimidating, especially if it’s your first time. It’s completely okay to feel nervous or unsure. The first session is an intake session, which means it’s a space for us to get to know each other and for you to share what’s bringing you to therapy, at a pace that feels comfortable for you.
Before the session, you’ll receive intake forms as well as information about confidentiality and practice policies, so you won’t be expected to go over everything from scratch during our time together. In the session, we’ll talk about what’s been going on for you, what you’re hoping for from therapy, and any questions or concerns you may have.
There’s no pressure to have the “right” words, to share everything at once, or to know exactly where to start. My role is to help guide the conversation, offer support, and create a space that feels safe, respectful, and collaborative as we begin working together.

A Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying) has completed their formal psychotherapy education and is in the final stage of registration with the College of Registered Psychotherapists of Ontario (CRPO). They are fully trained, registered, and practice under professional supervision while completing required hours.
RP (Qualifying) therapists are held to the same ethical and professional standards as fully registered psychotherapists.
