What do we discuss on the consultation call?

You can let me know what your therapy goals are and what challenges you are presently facing.

I will go into greater detail about my practice, experience and training that will support you in these goals..

How do I know if therapy is right for me?

In our first phone call you will have the opportunity to ask any questions you have about therapy and how it may support you in your mental health journey and self discovery.

Every person is an individual, oftentimes it requires work that you undertake when away from the session.  Your goals may shift and change overtime as the therapy progresses.  There is no set time frame.

What can I expect at the first session?

Together we will create a plan to address the challenges you describe and to support you in reaching your therapeutic goals.  We will do a brief intake to gather some brief information about you so that I may best assess and together create a plan to address the challenges and goals.

How can I tell if a therapist is a good fit for me?

The therapeutic alliance can be an intuitive process or you will have a felt sense of how we are working together.  A good therapist creates a place for you to feel safe to express anything about yourself and the situation you need support with. A therapist will hold you in positive regard at all times, without judgement and with unconditional support.

How do I schedule an appointment with you?

Please contact me for information about my availability.   Psychedelic assisted therapy must be arranged with the Vaughan clinic directly.
