FAQs About Therapy for Burnout, Anxiety, and Emotional Eating in Guelph and Ontario

Yes. I offer online therapy for adults anywhere in Ontario, Monday to Thursday, through Jane's secure video platform, so you can attend from home, your office, or anywhere private. In-person sessions are held on Wednesdays at Eramosa Physiotherapy, 1453 Gordon Street in Guelph, where Walk and Talk therapy is also available for those who find that movement supports their process.escription text goes here

You do not have to be in crisis to benefit from therapy, and if you are unsure whether it is right for you, the consultation is an easy place to start. It is a short phone call, which you can book through Jane or by email. You can share a little about what brings you in, ask about my approach, and talk through scheduling and fees, with no obligation to book. If we decide to work together, you will complete intake forms and consent online through Jane before your first 50-minute session, where we focus on what feels most important right now and what you hope might begin to feel different.

There is no set length, because everyone arrives with different needs and goals. Most clients begin with weekly or biweekly sessions, then space them out as things feel steadier. Many people work with me for six months or more, and some continue for a year or longer. We will check in regularly about what is helping and whether the pace still feels right for you.

Individual therapy sessions are 50 minutes and cost $175. The 15-minute consultation is free. You can pay by credit card or e-transfer, and you will receive a receipt after each session to submit to your insurance provider.

Psychotherapy with a Registered Psychotherapist in private practice is not covered by OHIP. Most extended health benefit plans include coverage for Registered Psychotherapists, though the amount covered each year varies from plan to plan. Before booking, check with your insurer whether your plan covers a Registered Psychotherapist (RP), how much is covered per year, and whether online sessions are covered the same way as in-person ones. I do not direct bill, so you pay at each session and submit your receipt for reimbursement.Description text goes here

I ask for 48 hours' notice to cancel or change an appointment. Cancellations with less than 24 hours' notice, and missed appointments, are charged for the appointment time. A late cancellation leaves a space in the day that could have been offered to someone else, so I appreciate as much notice as possible.

In Ontario, both Registered Psychotherapists and psychologists are regulated health professionals who can provide psychotherapy. Psychologists are regulated by the College of Psychologists and Behaviour Analysts of Ontario and can provide psychological assessments and diagnoses. Registered Psychotherapists are regulated by the College of Registered Psychotherapists of Ontario (CRPO) and focus on psychotherapy itself, without providing formal diagnoses. Neither profession prescribes medication. I am a Registered Psychotherapist.

Nervous system regulation therapy focuses on how your body responds to stress, not only on your thoughts. When you have been under strain for a long time, your nervous system can stay stuck in fight, flight, or shutdown, which may show up as anxiety, irritability, exhaustion, or numbness. With support, a dysregulated nervous system can become steadier. In our work, you learn to notice these states and build small, realistic ways to return to calm, using somatic approaches, mindfulness, HeartMath® techniques, and skills from CBT and DBT.

Yes, therapy can help with both, and they often feed each other. High-functioning anxiety can look like productivity on the outside and constant worry underneath, while burnout often shows up as exhaustion that rest does not fix. Therapy helps you understand what is driving both, ease the pressure on your nervous system, and rebuild your capacity in ways that fit your real life.

Yes, stress is a common reason people eat when they are not physically hungry. When your nervous system is overloaded, food can become a quick source of comfort, especially at the end of a long day. In therapy, we explore what eating is doing for you and build other ways to cope, using a non-diet approach and without shame. If you would also like nutrition-specific support, I offer holistic nutrition sessions as a separate service, where we go into more nutritional detail and you receive a comprehensive plan outlining your treatment going forward.

I work with adults 18 and over, both men and women, and many of my clients are in midlife. They are often capable, caring people managing careers, families, and aging parents while quietly carrying stress, anxiety, burnout, or a complicated relationship with food. I offer individual therapy only and do not provide couples therapy.

That experience is more common than many people realize, and it does not mean therapy cannot help you. Sometimes the fit with the therapist was not right, or the work focused on insight without addressing how stress lives in the body. My approach is nervous-system-informed, so we pay attention to both your thoughts and your physical responses. We also check in regularly about what is and is not helping, so you have a say in how our work unfolds.
