Frequently Asked Questions

At Psyche Health, I offer virtual psychotherapy for adults across Ontario, with a focus on attachment and trauma-informed care. My work is especially supportive for individuals navigating anxiety, burnout, relationship challenges, life transitions, and patterns rooted in early or relational trauma.
I provide 50-minute individual therapy sessions through a secure online platform, allowing you to access support from the comfort and privacy of your own space. I also offer a free 30-minute consultation, where you can ask questions, get a feel for how I work, and explore whether we’re a good fit—without any pressure to commit.
My approach is collaborative, feminist, and grounded in both psychodynamic and person-centred therapy. This means we don’t just focus on surface-level coping—we gently explore the deeper patterns, emotional experiences, and relational dynamics that shape how you move through the world. Together, we work toward helping you build self-trust, set meaningful boundaries, and feel more aligned in your relationships and decisions.
This isn’t about fixing you—it’s about creating space to understand yourself differently, with more compassion, clarity, and choice.

Getting started with therapy at Psyche Health is designed to feel simple, transparent, and low-pressure.
The first step is to book a free 30-minute virtual consultation. This is a chance for us to connect, talk a bit about what’s bringing you to therapy, and explore whether my approach feels like a good fit for you. You’re also welcome to ask any questions about the process, fees, or what working together might look like.
If you decide to move forward, we’ll schedule your 50-minute virtual therapy sessions at a time that works for you. I offer online psychotherapy across Ontario, with evening availability to help fit therapy into real life—not the other way around.
From there, we begin at your pace. There’s no expectation to have everything figured out before you start. Therapy is a collaborative process, and we’ll gently build a space that feels safe, supportive, and grounded in your needs.
You don’t have to be in crisis to begin—just curious enough to want something to feel different.
-
Therapy at Psyche Health is grounded in the belief that you don’t need to be fixed—you need to be understood.
My approach is attachment-focused and trauma-informed, which means we look beyond surface-level symptoms to understand the deeper patterns shaping your thoughts, emotions, and relationships. Many of the clients I work with are used to holding it all together on the outside, while feeling overwhelmed, disconnected, or stuck underneath. Our work creates space to slow that down and explore what’s really going on—with curiosity, not judgment.
I also bring a feminist, relational lens to therapy. That means we consider not just your internal world, but the broader systems, expectations, and lived experiences that have shaped you—especially for women who have been taught to override their needs, perform, or stay small to maintain connection.
What often feels different about working with me is that therapy becomes a place where you don’t have to perform or have it all figured out. I won’t rush the process, pathologize your emotions, or push you toward quick fixes that don’t actually last. Instead, we focus on helping you build self-trust, understand your patterns, and make more aligned decisions in your relationships and your life.
This is a space for real, sustainable change—not just coping, but coming back to yourself in a deeper, more grounded way.
-
I primarily offer virtual psychotherapy sessions across Ontario, using a secure and confidential online platform. Many clients find that online therapy is not only effective, but often more comfortable and sustainable—it allows you to access support from your own space, avoid commuting, and fit therapy into your day more easily.
That said, limited in-person sessions may be available upon request, depending on availability and location. If this is something you’re interested in, you’re welcome to reach out or mention it during your consultation.
Whether we meet virtually or in person, my approach remains warm, collaborative, and grounded in attachment and trauma-informed care. The focus is always on creating a space where you feel safe enough to slow down, explore what’s coming up for you, and begin to relate to yourself in a different way.
If you’re unsure what format would feel best, you’re welcome to book a free 30-minute consultation to talk it through and see what feels like the right fit.

Each session is a 50-minute virtual psychotherapy session designed to feel steady, supportive, and collaborative.
We’ll start by checking in on what’s been coming up for you—this could be something immediate, like a recent interaction or stressor, or something more ongoing, like anxiety, relationship patterns, burnout, or feeling stuck in certain cycles. You don’t need to organize your thoughts perfectly beforehand—part of the work is slowing things down together and making sense of it as we go.
From there, we gently explore what’s underneath the surface. My approach is attachment-focused and trauma-informed, so we’re not just talking about what’s happening, but also understanding the deeper emotional and relational patterns connected to it. This might include noticing how you respond in relationships, where certain beliefs come from, or how your nervous system is reacting in different situations.
Sessions are conversational, but also intentional. I’m actively engaged—offering reflections, asking thoughtful questions, and gently challenging you when it supports your growth. At the same time, we move at your pace. There’s no pressure to go deeper than you’re ready for.
Over time, sessions become a space where you can feel more grounded, build self-trust, and start making more aligned choices—not because you’re forcing change, but because you’re understanding yourself in a more meaningful way.

You don’t need to prepare anything formal before your consultation.
This is a free 50-minute virtual consultation designed to feel relaxed and low-pressure. You’re welcome to come exactly as you are—whether you have a clear idea of what you want to work on, or you’re just feeling that something in your life isn’t quite working the way you’d like.

Working with me often feels different than what people expect therapy to be.
My approach is warm, collaborative, and grounded in attachment and trauma-informed care. I’m not here to sit silently or give you surface-level coping strategies—I’m actively engaged with you in the process. Together, we explore the deeper patterns shaping your relationships, emotions, and sense of self, at a pace that feels manageable and respectful of your nervous system.
Many of the people I work with are used to being the ones who “have it all together.” In our work, you don’t have to perform, explain things perfectly, or push through. Therapy becomes a space where you can slow down, be honest about what’s actually going on, and start making sense of it in a different way.
I also bring a feminist, relational lens to our sessions. That means we don’t just look at your internal world—we explore how your experiences, relationships, and larger systems have shaped you. From there, we work toward helping you build self-trust, set boundaries that actually hold, and feel more aligned in your decisions and relationships.
You can expect me to be present, thoughtful, and gently challenging when needed—always with care. This is a space where your experiences are taken seriously, and where meaningful, sustainable change is possible.

Item descriptYou can expect therapy that is collaborative, grounded, and genuinely attuned to you.
My work is rooted in attachment-focused and trauma-informed psychotherapy, which means we go beyond surface-level coping strategies and gently explore the deeper patterns shaping your relationships, emotions, and sense of self. We’ll move at a pace that feels supportive—not rushed—and build a space where you can start to understand yourself with more clarity and compassion.
Many of the clients I work with are used to holding everything together on the outside. In our sessions, you don’t have to perform or have the “right” words. You can show up exactly as you are. From there, we begin to make sense of what’s been feeling overwhelming, stuck, or disconnected.
Over time, our work often focuses on helping you:
build self-trust and feel more confident in your decisions
understand and shift relational patterns
set boundaries that feel clear and sustainable
feel more grounded, less reactive, and more connected to yourself
I bring a feminist, relational lens to therapy, meaning we also explore how your lived experiences, relationships, and external pressures have shaped you—not just what’s happening internally.
You can also expect me to be present, engaged, and gently challenging when it’s helpful. This is a space for meaningful, lasting change—not just getting through the week, but starting to feel more aligned in how you live, relate, and move through the world.ion
