A free 30-minute call. No session booked. No commitment. No pressure. Just a chance for us to talk about what's bringing you here and whether I'm the right fit.

Toronto, Ontario
Address shared after the consult.
Anywhere in Ontario, over a secure video platform.
Weekdays and two evenings a week.
Response within one business day.
Please call 911, go to your nearest emergency department, or call Talk Suicide Canada at 1-833-456-4566. I'm not a crisis service, but I'd be glad to help with what comes next.
Usually within a business day, often faster. Personally — not through an assistant or an auto-reply system.
A time that works for you. The call is short, warm, and there is zero pressure to book anything after it.
If we're a fit, we'll book a first session. If I'm not the right person, I'll tell you honestly and point you toward someone I trust.
I don't direct bill, but I provide receipts for any extended health plan that covers a Registered Psychotherapist. Most modern plans do — it's worth checking yours.
Fees are listed on the Fees & FAQ page, and I'll confirm them with you during the consult. If cost is a barrier, please still reach out — we can talk about options.
Usually yes. If I'm full when you reach out, I'll tell you honestly and offer to put you on a waitlist or refer you to someone I trust.
Over a secure, PHIPA-compliant video platform. You'll get a link before each session. All you need is a private room and a stable connection.
Yes. Everything we discuss is protected by professional confidentiality, with the standard legal exceptions (risk of harm to self or others, child safety, court order). I'll walk you through all of it in our first session.
Most people are. That's exactly what the free consult is for. You can write three sentences in the form above and I'll take it from there.
Whatever you're carrying — the big thing, the small thing, the thing you can't quite name yet — it's welcome in the room.
