Do you offer virtual therapy?
1
Yes. All sessions are held securely online, allowing you to access therapy from the comfort and privacy of your own space anywhere in Ontario.
Who do you work with?
2
I work with adults (18+) navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, abuse, life transitions, relationship challenges, self-esteem, emotional overwhelm, and patterns that no longer serve them.
What can I expect during our first session?
3
The first session is an opportunity for us to get to know one another. We'll explore what's bringing you to therapy, discuss your goals, and determine whether we're a good fit. There is no pressure to share everything at once; we'll move at a pace that feels comfortable for you.
How long is a therapy session?
4
Individual therapy sessions are 50 minutes long.
How often should I attend therapy?
5
This depends on your goals and needs. Many clients begin with weekly or bi-weekly sessions, and we can adjust the frequency together as your journey evolves.
What approaches do you use?
6
My work is tailored to each individual and may draw from evidence-based approaches such as: Emotion-Focused Therapy (EFT), Trauma-Informed Care, Somatic Techniques, Inner Child, Mindfulness, Narrative Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), and Person-Centred Therapy.
Is therapy confidential?
7
Yes. Your privacy is very important. Everything discussed in therapy is confidential, with a few legal and ethical exceptions that will be explained during our first session.
Do you provide direct billing?
8
At this time, I provide receipts that can be submitted to your insurance provider for reimbursement. Please check with your insurer regarding your coverage.
Why "The Pattern Within"?
9
The name reflects my belief that lasting healing begins by understanding the patterns beneath our thoughts, emotions, relationships, and behaviours. Together, we'll explore those patterns with curiosity and compassion so that change becomes possible.
