FAQ

Tech happens! During our first session, we’ll create a plan to address technology issues. Generally, I will connect with you via phone right away to ensure we stay connected, then troubleshooting any technical problems together. You will never be left hanging in the middle of a session.

I’m licensed in Alberta, British Columbia, Saskatchewan, Ontario, and Nova Scotia and therefore you will need to be physically located in one of these provinces for the duration of our session.

There is no one-size-fits-all answer. The frequency of sessions should fit your life. In your first session, we’ll explore what works best for you based on your therapy goals, life commitments, and finances.

I recognize that time, energy, and resources are limited for all clients, so session frequency can remain flexible to meet your evolving needs.

I focus on creating a safe, supportive space centered on you. My practice is rooted in trauma-informed care, which considers your body, mind, emotions, and nervous system responses to stress. I integrate evidence-based trauma and grief therapies to help you feel understood and empowered at a pace that fits where you are right now.

It’s completely normal for therapeutic needs to evolve, and I want you to feel comfortable discussing this with me at any time. We have a few options: we can explore adjusting my approach to better match your current needs and goals, or I can help connect you with another therapist whose specialty or modality might be a better fit. I’m connected with a variety of excellent therapists, and I’m happy to facilitate a smooth, supportive transition if that’s what would serve you best.

I recommend booking sessions 3–4 months in advance whenever possible. This ensures access to time slots that work best in your schedule and allows us to structure each session with consideration for the spacing between appointments.

Advanced booking also allows for free cancellations up to 24 hours prior to your session.

This is more common than people realize. Sometimes it’s about finding the right fit or trying a different approach. My style is gentle, collaborative, and client led, there are no cookie-cutter plans here. We go at your pace and adjust as needed so you feel supported through the entire process to not replicate what did not work last time for you.

Absoluately! I strive to be an ally in all aspects of my practice. Everyone is welcome here.

Living with chronic health challenges can create limits you wouldn’t choose. In our work together, I honor your energy, pacing, and specific needs. This may include thoughtful scheduling, regular check-ins to manage fatigue or pain, and practical adjustments to sessions. You don’t need to justify your symptoms in this space. I work with your reality, not against it.

Absolutely! I adapt my approach to fit you. Together, we’ll determine what works best to meet your therapy goals while honoring how your brain works on any given day.

Not at all! We move at your pace. The first focus is always building trust, safety, and emotional regulation. This often includes learning coping strategies before exploring deeper trauma. You will never do a deep dive into anything you are not prepared to explore. You are always in control of what, when, and how you share in this space.

Most trauma therapy modalities I use work somatically, focusing on the body’s responses and nervous system rather than requiring detailed narratives of traumatic events. Since trauma lives in the body, we can work directly with physical sensations, tension patterns, and nervous system regulation to promote healing. This means you can benefit from trauma therapy without having to repeatedly relive or describe painful details.

Clients often tell me they feel truly seen, understood, and less alone. They appreciate practical suggestions and my approach, which combines a strong foundation in the neurobiology of trauma with a compassionate, soft space to land.
