I work with a range of clients who present a variety of unique circumstances. I offer therapy and therapeutic services for clients with various degrees of emotional, psychological, and physical challenges that affect their daily lives. I facilitate recovery and healing by sowing the seeds of hope. I provide a safe, secure, confidential and nurturing space in which the client can review and reflect on their lived experiences. Then, I work with the client to sow new ideas, plant new roots and help clients to grow and flourish.
Therapy is about being with, sitting with, and crying with someone who is understanding, considerate, and empathetic. I can be with you in all your beingness, I can sit with your distress, and I can hold you in safety and security in a vulnerable state through your tears or your anger.
In my therapy room, you are welcome in all states, as you are.
After your initial contact, I recommend scheduling a complimentary consultation with me to gauge whether I am the right therapist for you.
This (one-time) free consultation is available online (see services) and typically lasts approximately 20 minutes. It is to establish whether you would like to experience how I work in the session, and provide opportunities for you to ask questions. It is the way to check in with yourself, to see if you are ready, willing and able to begin therapy. It is also a space to check if online therapy is for you.
When you are happy to begin and want to make the change, I recommend that you complete the New Client Intake Assessment forms and sign my Counselling Contract. The Assessment form helps me to establish your commitment to therapy and whether I can support you.
After reviewing the assessment and receiving the New Client form with the signed Counselling Contract, I welcome you to book an initial meeting to discuss your further therapy needs.
During our initial meeting, we will discuss your specific areas of concern and assess whether we can work together effectively. This is an opportunity for you to experience what it’s like to be in a session with me and to get a sense of my approach as a therapist to building the therapeutic alliance. In this way, you will be able to determine whether we can proceed with further sessions.
I work intuitively and am guided by my feelings, emotions and what I sense in the therapeutic space.
It is essential that you feel comfortable during the experience. If you have any reservations, you can address them with me and bring them into the room. Speaking the truth about your concerns and worries might help empower you. I can help ease those distresses, but it’s you who knows how you’re feeling, as I may not be the right therapist for you.
From here, we will be able to create your personalised treatment plan and discuss how we can work together effectively by establishing our session boundaries and consistency for the therapeutic approach to your healing. For maximum benefits, you will be encouraged to practice as much as you can outside of the sessions.

Insurance:
I am unable to accept payment directly from your health insurance at this time. You will need to pay for the session in full.
Your health insurance or employee benefit plan may reimburse you for the services in full or in part. Mental Health and Substance Use Disorder Coverage Parity laws require most health plans to apply similar rules to mental health benefits as they do for medical/surgical benefits. Please check your coverage carefully by asking the following questions of your insurance provider:
- Do I have mental health insurance benefits?
- What is my deductible, and has it been met?
- How many sessions per year does my health insurance cover?
- What is the coverage amount per therapy session?
- Is approval required from my primary care physician?
Please note the cancellation policy. If you fail to attend your scheduled therapy appointment without notifying us at least 24 hours in advance, you will be required to pay the full cost of the session.
