Individual Therapy

Suffering from an overwhelming sense of unease and anxiety? Are your work and relationships deteriorating because of this? Maybe you recognize repetitive thought patterns or an inner critic. Are past traumatic events affecting your life today?

If you are interested in exploring how to process the complexities of your life, my Individual Therapy sessions offer you a safe place to understand your experiences and work towards a healthier future.

I specialize in providing treatment for individuals struggling with substance use disorders, such as alcohol and drugs, and compulsive behavioral addictions like excessive pornography use. I also specialize in offering support to oncology patients and their families suffering through the hardships of chronic illnesses.

I take a holistic approach with each person, paying attention to the biological and psycho-social factors which may be contributing to their problems.

If you wish to find out where to start and to explore the reasons for your difficulties,feel free to reach out to me for a free phone consultation.

Couples Therapy

Feeling caught in arguments without any true resolutions? Struggling with communication and looking for ways to deeper your understanding of each other? Dealing with infidelity, doubts, fears, and a growing distance? In Couples Therapy, my role is to offer a fresh perspective on your relationship dynamic. My aim is to help you process any maladaptive patterns while validating each person's experience. Relational injuries due to infidelity and betrayal are acknowledged and incorporated in sessions. We will consider both partners' perspectives and assess the steps needed for healing.

Whether you are a new or established couple, it is good to remind ourselves where your relationship started so we can put into perspective any current grievances. Even though you may feel unheard or dismissed, this is not the whole truth of your relationship. We also work to resolve cultural, racial, and religious differences you may be facing in your relationship.

Each partner brings their own past and formative family dynamic into the relationship. I pay attention to places where both partners meet and we create new ways to relate to one another.

Using Emotionally Focused Therapy, the goal is to create healthier boundaries that support the needs of both partners.

For those eager to learn, I give partners something small but tangible to work on between our sessions! With my guidance and support, couples can find the clarity and sense of direction needed to move forward.

Group Therapy

Presently, I facilitate a monthly Aftercare Group for Betrayed Partners in collaboration with The Whitestone Clinic. Please call to inquire more or share your ideas and needs.

Clinical Consultation

I am available for peer consultations. I offer support to clinicians where we can grow and discuss cases, transference, and countertransference.

Fees

The sessions are 50 minutes long and the cost per session is 180 CAD.
Upon request, extended sessions are also available for an additional fee.
Fee payment is due before the session, and the receipt will be issued subsequently.

Insurance

While most insurance companies cover the services of Registered Psychotherapists, some may require psychologists or social workers. Please verify if RP services are covered under your specific insurance plan, and inquire about the limit of coverage. If you do not have insurance, you can claim therapy services as a medical expense on your income tax.

Cancellations

I have a 24-hour cancellation and rescheduling policy. Full fees will be charged beyond this time limit unless otherwise agreed.

If you are seeking support or have any questions, please contact me. Thank you for considering me as your therapist.
