What happens next?

After you submit the contact form, I’ll be in touch to arrange a free 15-minute consultation. From there, we’ll decide together on next steps and schedule your first session. You’ll receive a secure link to set up your profile in the Jane app, where you can complete the intake form and manage your appointments.

This way, everything is ready for us to begin our work together.

We can then meet in my home studio in Durham, my office in Walkerton, or online anywhere in Ontario. Hybrid options are also available.

I look forward to meeting you and supporting you on your path toward living a whole life.

Working together…

Therapy is unique to each person. It is your path and your process.

Every session is unique, but here is a general flow of what you might expect….

  • We begin by building a safe and trusting relationship. This stage allows us to get to know one another, understand your needs, and create a supportive foundation for the work ahead. Each session begins with connection and sharing what is important in your life right now to inform the focus of the session together.

  • Together we explore the challenges you are facing—whether trauma, chronic stress, anxiety, depression, or relationship conflict. Using evidence-based and creative approaches, we work with mind, body, and felt experience to process what feels most important to you.

  • A key goal of therapy is applying what emerges in session to daily life. Together, we focus on how to bring insights and changes into everyday experiences, supporting lasting growth, resilience, and well-being. Here, clients often experience relief, become (re)grounded, and develop a stronger sense of connection with themselves and others.

Locations

I offer psychotherapy in two locations in the Grey–Bruce region: Walkerton and north of Durham. Both settings are private and steady environments suitable for talk-based psychotherapy, somatic work, art-informed process, and sound-based regulation when clinically indicated. The Walkerton office is located in a heritage building in town, while the studio north of Durham is surrounded by cedar trees in a quiet rural setting. Virtual sessions are available across Ontario, and hybrid models can be arranged based on need, weather, accessibility, or preference.

Walkerton — The Walker House

This location is on the second level of The Walker House, a designated heritage building in Walkerton. The therapy room is private and quiet, with natural light and a steady, contained atmosphere suitable for ongoing psychotherapy. The setting offers history and character while remaining simple and professional.

Parking is available along the side and behind the building. Enter through the side entrance near the ramp. Once inside, the stairs to the upper level are located toward the front of the interior hall. There is a small waiting area at the top of the landing for clients who arrive a few minutes early.

Access:
Side or rear parking. Side entrance near ramp. Second-level office.

Cozy living room with leather and fabric armchairs, a sofa, a fireplace, a bookshelf, and decorative plants, illuminated by natural light from a window.

Durham — The Studio

This location is north of Durham and surrounded by cedar trees in a quiet rural setting. The studio is on the second level above the first building on the property. The space is private and spacious, with room for seated psychotherapy, somatic work, art-based process, and sound-based regulation when appropriate.

Clients park in the driveway and use the exterior stairs to enter. There is a small cloak room with a bench at the entrance where clients may wait briefly if they arrive early. Sessions are scheduled to avoid overlap and maintain privacy.

Access:
Driveway parking. Exterior stair entry to second-level studio. Small cloak room waiting area available.
