Your questions,
answered.
Wondering what therapy looks like, how it works, or whether it's right for you? Everything you need to know is here.
The first session is about getting to know each other. I'll ask about what brought you here, your history, and what you're hoping to get out of therapy. There's no pressure to share everything at once. My goal is to make you feel comfortable and to start building a sense of safety. Many clients say they felt relieved just by showing up.
If you've been carrying something heavy, whether that's anxiety, shame, anger, relationship struggles, or a feeling of being stuck, therapy can help. You don't need to be in crisis to deserve support. The fact that you're asking this question probably means some part of you already knows. I offer a free 15 minute consultation so you can get a feel for how I work before committing.
I hear this concern a lot, especially from men and from clients dealing with compulsive sexual behaviours. Let me be direct: my practice is built on the belief that shame keeps people stuck. You will never be judged, lectured, or made to feel like there's something fundamentally wrong with you. What you will find is a person who's genuinely in your corner, willing to sit with the hard stuff alongside you.
Yes. Confidentiality is a cornerstone of our work together. What you share in session stays between us, with a few legal exceptions required by Ontario law: if there is risk of harm to yourself or others, if a child is being abused or neglected, or if records are subpoenaed by a court. I'll explain these limits clearly in our first session so there are no surprises.
Yes. I offer both in person sessions at my Etobicoke office and secure virtual sessions for anyone in Ontario. Many clients appreciate the flexibility of switching between the two depending on their schedule. Virtual sessions are conducted through a secure, encrypted platform.
My office is at 3638 Lake Shore Blvd W, Etobicoke. I see clients in person at this location and also offer virtual sessions across Ontario. You can reach me at (647) 510-7656 to book or ask questions.
CSAT is a specialized certification from the International Institute for Trauma and Addiction Professionals (IITAP). It means I've completed extensive training in treating compulsive sexual behaviours, including understanding the neuroscience, attachment wounds, and relational impact. It also means I follow a structured, evidence based treatment model refined over decades.
I hold a Master of Divinity from Tyndale University, am a Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying) with the College of Registered Psychotherapists of Ontario, a Certified Sex Addiction Therapist (CSAT), and trained in EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing). I bring both clinical expertise and lived understanding of men's mental health to every session.
EMDR stands for Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing. It's an evidence based therapy designed to help the brain process traumatic memories that feel stuck. During EMDR, I guide you through bilateral stimulation (such as eye movements or tapping) while you revisit difficult memories in a controlled, safe way. Over time, those memories lose their emotional charge. It's particularly effective for trauma, anxiety, and the shame loops that often accompany addiction recovery.
These are structured group therapy programs specifically for men working through sex addiction recovery. Unlike a general support group, a CSAT recovery group is led by a Certified Sex Addiction Therapist and follows a clinical framework. The group provides accountability, psychoeducation, and a space where men can be honest without judgment. Many clients find that the group experience accelerates their recovery in ways individual therapy alone cannot.
Yes. I work with couples navigating betrayal trauma from sexual addiction, helping both partners process the pain, rebuild trust, and decide what their relationship can become. I also offer general couples therapy for partners dealing with communication breakdowns, emotional distance, or conflict patterns. Whether you're in crisis or just stuck, couples work can create real movement.
My fees are competitive with Toronto market rates. Many extended health benefit plans cover sessions with a Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying). Check with your provider. I also offer a sliding scale for clients who need financial flexibility, because access to quality therapy shouldn't depend on your income. Specific fee details are shared during the free consultation.
Most clients start with weekly sessions, which allows us to build momentum and go deeper more quickly. As you progress, we may move to biweekly. For clients in sex addiction recovery, weekly sessions are strongly recommended, especially in the early phases. We'll always discuss frequency together and adjust based on what's working.
You can book directly through Jane App, or use the contact form on this site to send me a message. I also offer a free 15 minute phone consultation for anyone who wants to ask questions or get a sense of whether we're a good fit before committing to a full session.
