Question 1

What if I'm nervous or don't know what to say?

Accepted Answer

Totally normal. You don't need the perfect words, I'll guide us. Awkward silences are allowed too!

Question 2

What happens in the first session?

Accepted Answer

We'll start with you, including your story, what's bringing you in, and what you're hoping for. No pressure to have it all figured out. It's really just a conversation.

Question 3

How often will we meet?

Accepted Answer

Most people start with biweekly sessions. As things shift and we make progress, we can adjust together. You're not locked into anything.

Question 4

How do I know if therapy will actually help?

Accepted Answer

If you're feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or just not like yourself lately, therapy can help. You don't need a "big" reason, just a willingness to feel better.

Question 5

What if I don't know what I need yet?

Accepted Answer

That's actually really common. You don't need a clear goal to start. We'll figure it out together as we go.

Question 6

How do I know if this is even the right time to start?

Accepted Answer

If you're wondering about it, it's probably worth paying attention to. You don't need to feel fully ready, just open to starting.

Question 7

Do you offer virtual sessions?

Accepted Answer

Yes. I offer both virtual sessions across Ontario and in-person sessions in Ottawa, so you can choose whichever feels more comfortable, or switch between the two depending on the week (pet cameos always welcome on virtual calls).

Question 8

What's the investment?

Accepted Answer

Individual sessions are $160 for 50 minutes. Couples sessions are $180 for 50 minutes, with an 80-minute option available if you need more time. If cost is a barrier, let's talk. I'm happy to explore what feels doable for you.

Question 9

Do you offer direct billing or insurance receipts?

Accepted Answer

Unfortunately I do not offer direct billing. Receipts are provided after each session, which you can submit to your insurance provider for reimbursement. Please make sure that your insurance company covers psychotherapy (instead of psychology or social work).

Question 10

Do you offer consultations?

Accepted Answer

Yes. I offer a free 15-minute consultation so we can briefly talk through what's been going on and see if it feels like a good fit.

Question 11

What is therapy like?

Accepted Answer

The best way to get a sense of fit is through a consultation. It gives you a chance to ask questions and get a feel for how I work before committing to a full session.

Question 12

Is what I share with you confidential?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely. What you share stays between us, with a few legal exceptions. Your privacy matters.
