Individual Counseling
A variety of approaches are used for individual talk therapy, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) and Narrative Therapy techniques. Overall, I seek to understand you and the context of the issues that you bring to therapy and apply appropriate interventions and techniques from these approaches to help you progress towards your goals.
Couples Counseling
Couples’ therapy will follow the Gottman Method and also incorporate ideas from attachment theory to help you understand the patterns that are present in your relationship. I am also a polyamory-friendly therapist and have an interest in supporting couples practicing various types of consensual non-monogamy.
Trauma
Counseling
For trauma-related issues, Accelerated Resolution Therapy will be a main part of treatment, as this has shown to be quick and effective in helping clients process out trauma and lose the negative symptoms resulting from traumatic events.

Payment Methods
Payment is due in full at the time of your session. I accept payments in most forms including cash, credit card or electronic funds transfer.
A 48-hour notice is required to cancel your session, or you will be charged a $50 late cancellation fee.
Sliding Scale
I don't believe that a person's income should determine whether or not they get access to mental health support. In a commitment to maintaining an equitable practice, I offer a limited number of spots on a sliding-scale basis for those clients who may not be otherwise able to afford private counselling.
Insurance
Sessions are not covered by public healthcare, however, counselling provided by Registered Social Workers are often supported by extended health care plans.
