What does your motto "Psychotherapy for Every Body" mean?

Can you share more about yourself? 

Are your services covered by insurance? 

How many therapy sessions will I need?

The concept of Psychotherapy for Every Body emulates my belief that all bodies are worthy and are deserving of respect. It demonstrates my commitment to dismantling ableism, fatphobia, healthism, racism, and sexism. In my practice, your body is not a problem to be fixed. Instead, we will work to let go of past stories of otherness, shame or guilt, and begin to find a new sense of freedom and body liberation. 

I work from a client centered approach, meaning I meet you where you are at, and I will only move at a pace that feels comfortable. You should feel safe, accepted, and respected - no matter the therapist you are working with! It is also important to me that therapy feels useful to you, and so I will invite you to share on issues that you may be struggling with the most, and together we will identify ways to resolve those issues so you can move closer to having the life you wish to have.

The majority of workplace benefit plans cover a portion or the total cost of therapy sessions conducted by Registered Social Workers. You must inquire with your insurance provider to ensure these services are covered if you are seeking reimbursement for our sessions. I will always provide a receipt after every session with all necessary information that you can provide to your insurance provider for reimbursement. 

All appointments are conducted virtually on a secure video platform.

As therapy is both an investment and commitment, I do not provide brief counselling services (eg. 1-5 sessions). True therapeutic change normally requires a level of medium to long term participation to see results. So, while some people may find that six months to one year of therapy is enough for them, others have chosen to continue their work with me for several years.

Sure! On a personal level, I live in Ottawa but grew up in Northern Canada. I am biracial and a strong advocate for marginalized groups. When not in session, you can find me listening to the Stuff You Should Know podcast or creating content for my professional instagram account.
