Frequently Asked Questions

Therapy can help anyone feeling stuck, overwhelmed, emotionally exhausted, or looking for greater support and self-understanding. You do not need to be in crisis to benefit from counselling. If you are unsure whether therapy is the right fit, I offer a free 15-minute consultation to answer questions and help determine whether working together feels comfortable and appropriate for your needs. 

The first session is an opportunity for us to get to know each other and begin understanding what has brought you to therapy. We will talk about your current concerns, personal history, goals, and any questions you may have about the counselling process. There is no pressure to share everything at once — the goal is simply to create a comfortable starting point and begin building a sense of trust and collaboration. 

 It is completely normal to feel unsure or nervous about starting therapy for the first time. Many people begin counselling without knowing exactly what to expect or even how to put their experiences into words. My approach is calm, supportive, and non-judgmental, and we move at a pace that feels comfortable for you. You do not need to have everything figured out before starting. 

Most health insurance plans cover mental health services in their programs. If you are unsure, please contact your individual insurance provider prior to your first appointment to confirm that counselling services with a Registered Social Worker with a MSW will be covered for reimbursement.
