Our Services

Adult

Mental health is just as important as physical health. When we seek help for our mental health, it does not mean that we are weak, or incompetent, or unable to take care of ourselves. It means that we are prioritizing our emotional, psychological, and social well-being. We are here to work with you through mental health, personal and interpersonal challenges to enhance your overall well being.

Child/Adolescent (Ages 8-17)

Mental health is important at every stage of life, from childhood and adolescence through adulthood. 70% of mental health problems have their onset during childhood or adolescence (Youth Mental Health Canada). Please know that we are here to help with your mental health, personal, and interpersonal challenges.

Couples

Relationships are hard and require work. Yes, all relationships take some work. Are you struggling with poor communication, lack of trust, constant arguing, infidelity, or codependency? We are here to work with you so that your relationship can thrive and not just survive.

Trauma/PTSD

Are you experiencing recurrent, unwanted and distressing thoughts of a traumatic event? Do you have intense or prolonged emotional distress, upsetting dreams, nightmares or flashbacks of the traumatic event? We provide trauma therapy using evidence based approaches to promote healing and post traumatic growth.

We believe that therapy should be affordable, so we offer a sliding scale for those with financial challenges. Please contact us to inquire about sliding scale.

Most insurance and health benefit plans cover counselling services provided by a Registered Social Worker. Please contact your insurance provider to check your coverage before your first session.

Direct billing is provided to a number of insurance providers. I also provide a receipt at the end of every session to be submitted to your health insurance provider for reimbursement if needed.
