Frequently Asked Questions

What do you charge per session?

A 50-55 minute individual or couples session is $160.

Do you work with couples?

I do! My couples practice is focused on Emotion Focused Couples Therapy, which aims to heal emotional bonds and attachment. I also have training in Gottman Method and use this to inform my work where appropriate. Emotion Focused Couples Therapy is often considered the gold standard in couples therapy and has been shown to have lasting improvements in relationship transformation across many different kinds of couples. More about Emotion Focused Therapy here. Please contact me if you are interested in couples therapy, and we will book a free introductory call to see if we are a good fit. Couples sessions are typically a little longer than an individual session at 70 minutes rather than 55 minutes, and are the same rate of $160.

Are your sessions covered by my insurance plan?

My sessions are covered by most private insurance plans. Contact your insurance provider to make sure prior to your appointment and ask if they cover Registered Clinical Counsellors or Psychotherapy.

Do you work with teens or children?

I do work with teens and adolescents over the age of 12. Please reach out to see if I might be a good fit for your child / teen.

Do you treat trauma?

Yes. I am a Somatic Experiencing Practitioner (SEP), which is a modality that seeks to re-pattern the nervous system to a sense of safety and presence. Learn more here.

Do you offer a free consultation to see if we are a good fit?

Yes. Initial consultations are 15 minutes long and conducted by phone. Please send me a note and we will find a time to connect.

Can you help me with getting a diagnosis / psychological assessment?

This is beyond the scope of my practice. Please check the NWT Psychologist Association website to find someone who can help you with this, or discuss with your doctor.

If you have any other questions, please contact me and I will get back to you as soon as possible.
