Embodied, integrative depth psychotherapy
About
Welcome! I’m Elizabeth, Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying), in private practice in Ontario since 2022. My primary training is in psychodynamic psychotherapy, which locates the roots of present day suffering in longstanding, entrenched, and often unconscious experience. My approach is integrative, in keeping with my experience as a holistic health professional and Hatha Yoga teacher for 18 years. I believe that anxiety, depression, despair, burnout, post-traumatic stress disorder, chronic illness and other modern-day ailments are best addressed on all levels of our being - our somatic and spiritual dimensions as well as our mental and emotional ones. Your journey is unique, but I can walk alongside you, learning and growing, both with and from you.Please contact me for a free 30-minute consultation to see if we are a good fit.
Approach
I offer an integrative approach to therapy. Depending on your needs and preferences, we will reach for tools such as talk therapy, relational and attachment-oriented approaches, somatic practices, narrative therapy, parts work, therapeutic hypnosis, and many more. I have experience working with people preparing for and integrating spontaneous and psychedelically-mediated spiritual experiences and emergencies. Reconciling these experiences with the impact of individual and collective trauma, as well as with physical suffering, can be incredibly challenging. I'm here to offer you support from an embodied, experiential, and humble perspective.I'm also trained in psychological astrology from a Jungian perspective, inspired by the work of Liz Greene, Greg Bogart, and Jung himself. I can therefore guide you as you explore the meaning of the rich symbolism offered by your natal chart. I do not do natal readings, but can provide referrals on request.I seek to support diversity in all its forms and feel privileged to work with persons from diverse backgrounds and identities.Please contact me for a free 30-minute consultation to see if we are a good fit.

FAQ
How much does a session cost?
The fee for adult individual psychotherapy is $120 per 50 minute session.
Do you offer a sliding scale?
Therapy can be expensive, especially if you don’t have health insurance. For this reason, limited sliding scale (or reduced fee) spots are available. If you want to work with me but can’t afford the full fee, I invite you to book a free 30-minute initial consultation so that we can discuss possible options further.
How long and how often are psychotherapy sessions?
Normally, sessions are 50 minutes in length, and occur once per week. However, this is flexible, depending on your availability and needs.
Do you offer in-person or virtual sessions?
Currently, I offer virtual sessions only. If you are interested in in-person sessions, please contact me.
How do I schedule a session?
Please contact me to schedule a free 30-minute initial consultation. This is the best first step since the best way to determine whether we are a good fit for working together is to meet each other. Once we determine this, we can decide on the frequency and duration of our meetings as well as the goals and direction of your therapy.
