Work With Me

embodied intuition

Maybe you've tried talk therapy and still feel stuck. Maybe these recent times of uncertainty and isolation have revealed blocks you need to navigate. With me at your side, you can spark the power of your creativity (without being an artist or a performer!) to unearth the strengths you already have to grow your confidence, self esteem, and communication skills. 

Pricing:

  • $ FREE

    At the end of the initial 20-minute consultation, payment can be made for the following scheduled session.

  • $155 including tax

    My rate for a 50-minute individual counselling session for in-person and virtual sessions is $155. I accept PayPal or e-transfer 24 hours before the start of each session.

    Please note I have no sliding scale spaces available at this time though my waitlist is open.

  • Couples, pods, friends, and other relational dynamics for $200 total for 80 minutes of exploration on intimacy, communication, discrepant desire, sexuality, and more.

  • $415 (payment plans available) for 6 weeks Sundays 2-4pm Starting Nov 3.

    We use art therapy, sex therapy and somatic techniques to create more confidence to identify and honour your desires. We name the oppressive institutions and internalized systems that impact authentic access to our own bodies and relational styles.​

    By the final session, you will have gained:

    • a deeper awareness and understanding of your desires and sexuality

    • vocabulary to express your desires and your limits

    • a library of somatic pleasure practices

    • tools to communicate with (potential) partners, both verbal and nonverbal

    • skills to continue reflection on your desires, limits, and sexuality

  • 1x1 PRIVATE SESSIONS

    I offer one-hour private sessions online or by phone. If you’re in the Montreal area, I also welcome in-person visits!

  • Group Sessions

    Group therapy is the ultimate rehearsal for life. Find others like yourself to engage and inspire growth.

FAQs:

  • I run a studio in Montreal between Sherbrooke and Berri UQAM metro. There is a cat here. Please contact me for the address. I can also meet with you online.

  • Full payment by etransfer is required 24 hours before the beginning of each session. Credit card options are also available if needed.

  • If your private insurance or extended benefits plan covers Canadian Certified Counsellors (C.C.C.) you can submit my receipts to your provider.

    I offer insurance receipts through ACNN if your insurance provider covers Naturotherapists or Naturopaths. (Blue Cross, Equitable and Industrial Alliance do NOT cover this service).

    Residents of Ontario can reimburse psychotherapy services with me as a Registered Psychotherapist (qualifying).

    If you do not have private insurance you can file counselling under paramedical expenses in your tax return.

    Please note I am NOT a member of OPQ and I cannot write receipts for psychology or psychotherapy for services in Quebec.

  • We collaborate together to figure out where to start and what your priorities are, without going too deep too quickly. Here is where you can say what your issues and goals are.

    I will ask you more questions in this session than the following sessions. Some of the work may use creative expression. You'll come away from the first session with clear feedback, and a plan for how future counselling sessions will go.

  • This varies for each individual and depends on your needs and goals for change. Often people report feeling better after the first session. With this in mind, 8-10 sessions is the average for a lasting psychological impact, though many folks wish to maintain their mental health with me for longer.

  • I am offering counselling sessions online through video conferencing over Zoom Tuesdays and Thursdays. In-person sessions in at my studio in Montreal are available Wednesdays and Fridays. Please note there is a cat who lives there, and take precautions if you have allergies.

  • Yes. There is nobody else present in the space we meet. What we talk about in sessions stays between you and I, and possibly between my supervisor and I for the purpose of continuing to offer you high quality care. My supervisory relationship is also contractually confidential.

    All communication and notes are securely stored on a dedicated platform called Jane App designed with your privacy as the utmost priority.

  • While I'm excited to share somatic techniques to help support your nervous system, there is no single move that will "fix" your problem. Somatic work is a process of contacting and attending to the internal landscape of sensation and emotion, and then channelling that expression with movement, sound, and play. The body's wisdom is already speaking, and I work with you as your translator and guide.

  • As a drama therapist and Canadian Certified Counsellor in Quebec I do not diagnose mental health conditions, nor do I prescribe medication. While I can write professional letters of support, I am not part of the OPQ in Quebec and so I cannot write referral letters for HRT or gender-affirming surgeries or care that will be officially recognized by the medical system in this province.

  • Finding a fit with someone you trust and feel comfortable with is the most important factor in your journey of transformation. Set up a free consultation call with me to ask any questions you might have.

  • I require 24 hours notice to cancel and reschedule a session. Cancellations or no-shows with less than 24 hours notice require payment of the full fee for the missed session.

    Consequences of non-payment are determined by the individual case.
