Contact

If you would like more information on psychological/psychotherapy services and discuss if I could be a good fit for working with you/your family, please kindly provide some details so we can connect with you shortly. Thank you!

I offer a free of charge, initial intake call (around 10 mins) to better understand your therapy needs, assess fit, & discuss any questions you may have before proceeding with our first session.

It is important that you find a therapist whose therapy style and areas of expertise is the right fit for you.

Session costs are similar to other PhD level clinical psychologist fees in Ontario.
