Winter is already well upon us here in Ottawa!

December Schedule

Booking virtual appointments only from December 9-31. Out of office December 24-26 and January 1. Working fewer hours Dec 22-23 and 29-31. Reach out if you are having any trouble booking online.

Direct Billing

Direct billing is now available for plans with many insurers, including Blue Cross, Canada Life, Manulife, Coughlin, and Desjardins. Sunlife is coming on board in December. Please note, that I cannot direct bill for OTIP or Green Shield, or services billed under a supervising psychologist.

Climate Grief

2025 has seen heartbreaking weather events around the world, with a rise in eco-anxiety and climate grief. This hit home personally, when Hurricane Melissa ravaged the area of Jamaica I would have travelled to this month for retreat work. It will take months to restore infrastructure to parts of the island. I am grateful for the outpouring of support and relief efforts underway. For those inquiring about a reputable charity to donate to, World Central Kitchen is a great option. They work feet on the ground in collaboration with local chefs and restaurants.

Playing in the Sand

These winter months are a natural time to slow down, for deeper reflection. Sand Tray Therapy is a powerful adjunct to ongoing psychotherapy, clinical supervision, or psychedelic integration. I had fun this November revamping the array of miniatures, objects found in nature, and art materials that I keep on hand for this experiential work. Let me know if you are interested in learning more about sand tray therapy or booking a session or workshop. Please note these need to be booked in advance and held in-person.

Happy Holidays!
