I strictly follow the No Surprises Act, which means you’ll never be billed for a service you haven’t been informed about in advance. My rates are aligned with prevailing standards for highly qualified psychologists in Ontario and California and are reviewed periodically to reflect economic conditions.

A: Yes. I provide a complimentary 15-minute phone consultation to help determine whether we are a good fit. If we choose to move forward, your initial intake session (50 minutes, in person or virtual) is usually scheduled within 1–2 weeks.

During this session, I’ll gather a thorough biopsychosocial history and current symptom profile covering emotional, physical, and psychological concerns. We’ll also engage in collaborative goal setting and determine the best level of clinical care for your needs.

A six-week course of treatment provides the minimum “dose” of therapeutic intervention needed to begin creating meaningful change and improvement in symptoms. Much like a course of antibiotics, where the right dose and timing are essential to restoring health, therapy also requires consistency and structure to be effective. In many cases, we recommend a six-week treatment plan consisting of double sessions (100 minutes each, once per week). This format allows us to make steady progress without losing momentum or spending valuable time “catching up” at the start of each session.
