WELCOME
Finding balance in life’s twists and turns can feel overwhelming, especially when stress and expectations leave us feeling stuck and disconnected. At Spoke Psychotherapy, I’m here to help you reconnect with yourself and with your goals, guiding you toward healing and growth.
​
I provide evidence-based care rooted CBT (Cognitive Behavioural Therapy), which is goal oriented, designed to help you navigate challenges such as anxiety, depression, panic and stressful life situations and more.
​
Together, we’ll explore the patterns that hold you back and create pathways to a more fulfilling, connected life.
​
I will strive to help you find balance at every turn—because healing is a journey, and you don’t have to travel it alone. My goal is to help you become the best version of yourself no matter what circumstances have come your way.
​
I believe wholeheartedly that therapy is valuable at any age, whether you're young or old. I am also passionate about normalizing therapy and making it accessible to everyone.

Questions and Answers
What Services Are Offered?
In person meetings with a range of therapy services tailored to individual needs, including specialized counselling for teens, young adults and adults in all stages of life. Each session is personalized to address specific concerns and support your overall well-being, helping you navigate life’s challenges with confidence and balance. Phone and online meetings available upon request.
How Can You Schedule an Appointment?
Scheduling an appointment with Spoke Psychotherapy is simple. You can email spoketherapy@gmail.com or click on this link below to book through my online booking system.
What to Expect in Therapy Sessions?
During a therapy session at Spoke Psychotherapy, you can expect a secure and confidential environment where you can openly discuss your thoughts and feelings. This will also include attentive listening, offer of guidance, and collaboration with you to explore solutions and promote personal growth using evidence based practice.
Will my benefit plan cover this type of therapy?
Some insurance companies may only cover therapy provided by a Social Worker or Registered Psychotherapist. However, many companies and employers are covering Certified Nurse Psychotherapists (eg Greenshield, RNAO, NIHB, Nexgen, Desjardin, Empire Life, RTIP, Coughlin, myHSA, VAC, OTIP, Manulife...). Please reach out even if it's listed here to double check your coverage.
I am happy to provide you with a quote and advocacy letter that you can submit to your insurance to check if you have coverage. It's important to know if your plan covers you for a Registered Nurse Psychotherapist and for how much.

​
Where are you located?
I practice in a clinic with a multidisciplinary health care team. The clinic is called Optimal Health Physiotherapy. It is located downtown Peterborough and has ample free parking. If you are scheduled outside of regular clinic hours, the doors will be locked for security. Please knock, and I will be right down to let you in. There are stairs up to my office. If this is an issue, please let me know.
​
​
What is the cost of therapy?
While I am under supervision (in qualifying) my rate will be:
110$ per session. This includes tax and is payable by credit, cash or e-transfer at the end of each session. The fee covers the duration of the session as well as preparation time, record keeping, business expenses, professional development, and any applicable taxes.
​
If finances are a strain, and you don't have coverage, please ask me about my limited number sliding scale spaces.
What if I need to cancel?
Life happens. I absolutely get it. If you need to cancel an appointment, I kindly ask that you do so with as much notice as possible.
​
If you cancel without 24hrs notice, there is a $40.00 fee
What does an initial session look like?
Your first session will be in person at the office (preferred) or online through a secure platform. We’ll discuss confidentiality, ensuring you feel safe and comfortable opening up.
This session is an opportunity for us to get to know each other and explore your goals and concerns. We may discuss past experiences that have shaped your present challenges. Together, we’ll begin navigating your healing journey.
