Hello!
Coping with life's challenges can sometimes be exhausting and make you feel lonely. Emotional burdens, past traumas, or the process of adapting to a new life can be overwhelming. If you want to take steps to regain control, feel better, and shape your life in a meaningful way, I would love to support you in this process. Using evidence-based therapy methods I specialize in, such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Schema Therapy, Solution-Focused Therapy, Sexual Therapy, and Family-Couple Therapy, I can offer a personalized approach and together we can determine the most suitable support method for you.
Coping with life's challenges isn't easy, but you're not alone in this process. If you want to heal, become stronger, and give your life a new direction, I would be happy to support you. When you feel ready, you can contact me to embark on this journey together.
Pricing, Insurance and Session Information:
Sessions are conducted via video call through a secure online therapy platform provided by Psychology Today, which has the necessary security measures in place to protect personal data and ensure privacy.
The session fee is 160 Canadian Dollars (C$160) for individual and couples therapy. Various payment methods are available, including e-transfer and credit cards.
I work in partnership with Blue Cross as an insurance company and can receive session fees directly from them (direct billing). Clients with other insurance providers can also have their therapy costs covered by their insurance company, provided their policy includes psychotherapy services. In such cases, the client pays the therapy fee, and the insurance company reimburses the client later.
AREAS OF EXPERTISE
INDIVIDUAL THERAPY
Individual therapy offers support to clients seeking to cope with a variety of psychological challenges such as anxiety, depression, stress, self-esteem issues, anger management, addictive behaviors, and trauma. During therapy, clients' emotional awareness is increased, they are helped to recognize negative thought and behavior patterns, and they are supported in coping more healthily with changes and challenges in their lives. It also guides clients through a process of personal growth and self-awareness, contributing to a more balanced, healthy, and fulfilling life.
COUPLE AND FAMILY THERAPY
Couples therapy and family therapy provide support for couples and families who want to resolve communication problems in their relationships, strengthen trust and intimacy, and manage conflicts. The goal of therapy is for couples and family members to better understand each other, express their emotions effectively, and resolve conflicts in healthy ways. By offering guidance on difficulties in parent-child relationships, generational conflicts, divorce or separation processes, and family crises, it contributes to making relationships more functional and supportive.
SEXUAL THERAPY
Sexual therapy helps male and female clients cope with sexual function and health issues such as decreased libido, performance anxiety, ejaculation problems, orgasm problems, vaginismus, and sexual trauma. The goal of therapy is to help clients gain awareness of their sexual identity, orientation, pleasure, and intimacy. Furthermore, by providing guidance on improving sexual health and strengthening intimacy and emotional bonds, it contributes to clients leading a more satisfying, healthy, and fulfilling sexual life.
