Making changes in your life can be difficult, and at times you may feel powerful emotions. There may be times when things feel like they are getting worse before the get better. However, developing this self awareness and gaining strategies on how to cope and manage powerful emotions will lead you towards a better understanding of your self and movement towards positive change and sense of wellbeing.

With a few exceptions, what you say in therapy is confidential. At times however, you may direct me in writing to share information with whomever you feel necessary.

There are some situations when we are required by law and ethics to break this confidentiality and must share your information with the appropriate contacts:

- If there is reason to believe you are at serious and imminent risk of physically harming yourself or another person.

- If there is reason to believe that a child is suffering from abuse and/or neglect.

- If you inform us of a regulated health professional who is abusing a patient.

- A judge subpeaonoas your records.

- A regulatory college (e.g. College of Registered Psychotherapists of Ontario) performs an audit and requests client records.

- etc.

We'll go over all of this more thoroughly before your first session.

Typical sessions are 50 minutes in length.

Because this time is specifically set aside for you, you will be charged for no-shows and short notice cancellations (under 24 hrs).

Life happens! You will not be penalized for cancellations due to illness, tending an emergency or inclement weather.

Absolutely! It is important to check with your insurance provider ahead of time to ensure that this service is covered. Payment is required at the beginning of each visit, after which you will be emailed a receipt with all the necessary information to submit to your insurance provider.

Finding appropriate childcare is encouraged. I find having children attend sessions causes you to shift what you might say in session or cause distractions, hindering your outcome. I want you to get as much as possible out of your time.

Head over to the contact tab, and follow the prompts to have a look at the online schedule, and book yourself in directly.

The first session is focused on initial assessment and collaboratively creating a treatment plan.

No current groups or workshops are being offered. Check back for updates!

This is always changing, but currently there are wood boards, canvases, carving tools, paints, inks, drawing materials, felting supplies, woodworking tools, clay, speedball and many things in between.
