Frequently Asked Questions

You might benefit from therapy if you’re feeling anxious, stressed, overwhelmed, or struggling with emotional eating, burnout, or relationship challenges. Psychotherapy can help you build emotional resilience, develop coping strategies, and improve your overall well-being.

If you’re unsure whether therapy is right for you, I offer a free 15-minute consult call. This is a chance to briefly share what you’re going through and ask questions about my therapy approach. I’ll explain how in-person counselling sessions in Guelph or online therapy across Ontario could support your goals. The consult call helps you decide if working together feels like the right fit before you book a full session.

The most effective therapy for weight loss goes beyond diets; it supports healing from the inside out. I use a blend of evidence-based therapies like CBT, Emotion-Focused Therapy, IFS, and somatic approaches to help uncover the emotional roots of stress eating, body image struggles, and self-sabotage.

My approach to weight loss therapy focuses on building emotional resilience, improving your relationship with food and your body, and creating sustainable, compassionate change. I offer both in-person sessions in Guelph and virtual therapy across Ontario.

As a Registered Psychotherapist and Holistic Nutritionist, I help clients lose weight by addressing both the emotional and nutritional sides of the journey. Together, we explore the root causes of emotional eating, stress, and self-sabotage using evidence-based therapies like CBT, Emotion-Focused Therapy, and somatic tools.

Alongside therapy, I offer nutritional guidance that’s sustainable and nourishing; no strict diets or quick fixes, just supportive strategies that work with your body and your life. This mind-body approach helps you build long-term habits and a healthier relationship with food and yourself.

At the initial session, the client will be asked a series of questions about current concerns, goals and history of the concern, to be able to assess the client and help formulate a treatment plan.  The treatment plan will be made in collaboration with the client and will include details such as an action plan or skill practicing expectations and how frequent appointments will be. 

Unfortunately no. Psychotherapy is not covered by OHIP or the Ontario Health Insurance Plan. Psychotherapists are independent professionals who must be paid directly by you. However, our fees may be covered by your personal healthcare plan through your workplace, or a separate health insurance plan that covers psychotherapy.  Please check with your insurance provider to see if services are covered.
