I work in the Adlerian Model of Psychotherapy, which uses a cognitive- behavioural approach, along with my own blend of encouragement, humour, common sense, and compassion.

Are you covered by Insurance?
As a Registered Psychotherapist in the Province of Ontario, many insurance plans cover my services, depending on the plan of your employer. I am not covered by OHIP.

I use a humanistic form of psychodynamic therapy known as Adlerian Psychotherapy. It focuses on encouragement, and understanding each individual as unique, based on their own life experiences. This is also a form of CBT (Cognitive Behavioural Therapy). I also incorporate trauma-informed therapeutic techniques.
