I provide trauma-informed individual and couples therapy for anxiety, trauma, relationship difficulties, post-migration challenges and navigating cultural identity.

I am licensed and regulated by the College of Registered Psychotherapists of Ontario (CRPO). This means that I have completed all the requirements to practice as licensed psychotherapist.
Are your services covered by my insurance?
As a Registered Psychotherapist with the CRPO my services should be covered by your insurance. Always check with your provider for the exact details of your coverage.
What are your fees, and do you offer a sliding scale?
The fee for a 60 min individual therapy session is $150, and $170 for a 60 min couples therapy session. I offer a sliding scale of $125 per session if you are a student enrolled in a post-secondary institution. If you are experiencing financial hardship, and have no access to health insurance, I can offer sliding scale, but have only limited spaces available. Send me an e-mail with your details if you are interested in this option.
What is the Interim Federal Health Program (IFHP)?
The Interim Federal Health Program (IFHP) provides temporary health coverage for refugees, protected persons, and asylum seekers who are not yet eligible for provincial health insurance. It includes mental health and counselling services at no cost. As an approved provider, I offer free psychotherapy services to eligible IFHP clients. Referrals are welcome for providers or by self-referral.
