Next steps and Fees:
Evidence shows psychotherapy is most effective when you feel you have a good relationship with your therapist. As such, I offer a free consultation so we can talk through your situation and ensure there is a fit. We will also discuss fees and scheduling. ​
​
My fee rate is $175 per session payable by e-transfer
​
Appointments are 50 minutes in length.
Frequently people come to therapy once per week, but many choose an alternate schedule.
If you plan to use insurance, I do not do direct billing. Payment is due at the time of service via e-transfer and I will issue a receipt that can be used for your claim.
