Many extended health benefit plans cover psychotherapy with a Registered Psychotherapist (RP). Coverage varies by plan — check your policy for "psychotherapy" or "registered psychotherapist" under mental health benefits. We offer direct billing through Telus eClaims and Sun Life. If your plan is with one of these providers, we can bill them directly on your behalf — no need to pay out of pocket and wait for reimbursement. We encourage you to confirm your specific coverage with your insurer before your first session, as benefits vary by plan. For all other insurance providers, payment is collected at the time of the session and a receipt is provided for you to submit for reimbursement. Not sure if you are covered? Your HR department or benefits provider can confirm.

Payment is due at the time of each session. We accept credit card, or e-transfer. Direct Billing is also available depending on your insurance carrier.

In Ontario, a Registered Psychotherapist (RP) is a regulated health professional trained in talk therapy and authorized to perform the controlled act of psychotherapy. A psychologist holds a doctoral degree and can provide psychological assessment and diagnosis in addition to therapy. Both are regulated professionals — but most extended health benefit plans cover RP services, and psychotherapy is what most people are looking for when they want support with patterns, relationships, and emotional wellbeing. I hold a Master of Arts in Counselling Psychology (MACP) and am registered with the College of Registered Psychotherapists of Ontario (CRPO).

Yes. Research consistently shows that virtual therapy produces outcomes comparable to in-person sessions for anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship issues, and more. Many clients actually find it easier to open up from a familiar environment — and the absence of a commute removes one more barrier to showing up consistently. All sessions are conducted using Jane, which is considered a secure, encrypted platform that meets Ontario privacy standards.

It is a no-pressure conversation — not a therapy session. We talk briefly about what is bringing you in, I share how I work, and we both get a sense of whether we are a good fit. There is no intake form beforehand and no commitment required. If it feels right, we book your first session. If it does not, I will do my best to point you toward someone who might be a better fit.
