Therapy Services Provided
Individual Therapy
In individual therapy, we’ll explore your personal history, including your family background and any past traumatic experiences (if applicable), to understand the current concerns you are facing in life or in your relationships. This understanding helps us create a tailored treatment plan.
You can expect to be treated as a person, not a clinical case. My approach is warm, personable, and collaborative. I aim to make the therapeutic space comfortable—where we can even share a laugh. I avoid a rigid, textbook approach in favor of something more human and engaging.
Couples Therapy
You can expect me to be an advocate for both parties. My job Is not to break up a couple or to force them to remain together. I work with both individuals to understand the difficulties within the relationship and to help guide a supportive path forward.

commonly Asked questions
Therapy is a collaborative process tailored to your individual needs. It begins with an assessment where we discuss your concerns and objectives. Together, we’ll identify patterns, behaviors, or emotional challenges that you want to address. Using evidence-based techniques, we’ll work through these issues in a safe, supportive environment. Over time, therapy can help you gain insight into your thoughts and behaviors, develop healthier coping mechanisms, and empower you to make positive changes in your life.
Therapy can be beneficial for anyone who feels they need support managing emotions, behaviors, or life situations. If you’re feeling overwhelmed, anxious, or just need someone to talk to, it might be a good time to consider therapy.
I offer a range of therapeutic approaches including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), EMDR, Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART), and other trauma-informed techniques. Depending on your individual needs, we can tailor the therapy method that best suits you.
Each therapy session typically lasts 60 minutes. However, this can vary depending on the specific needs of the session.
The frequency of therapy sessions varies depending on your individual needs and the goals we set together. Initially, weekly sessions are common as they help build momentum and foster a therapeutic relationship. Over time, as you start to experience progress, we might reduce the frequency to biweekly or monthly. We will regularly assess and adjust the frequency of sessions to best support your journey towards wellness.
Confidentiality is a cornerstone of therapy. Everything discussed in sessions is kept confidential except in cases where disclosure is required by law (e.g., threats of harm).
My standard fee for a 60-minute individual or couples therapy session is $220.00. For other types of sessions, such as longer sessions, fees may differ.
In Alberta, therapy costs aren’t strictly regulated; instead, the Psychologists’ Association of Alberta (PAA) provides recommended rates as a helpful guideline. This allows individual psychologists and therapy clinics, like mine, to set fees based on their unique experience, specialties, location, and the clients they serve.
I strive to keep my rates very reasonable and in-line with these suggested rates, ensuring that quality support is accessible to those who need it.
Many extended health benefits and employee assistance programs (EAPs) may cover some or all of the cost of therapy sessions.
