Naturopathic Medicine

Initial Intake: $240

The initial visit is 75-90 minutes long. We spend that time getting to know your health history, the nature of your concerns, your health goals and your lifestyle, putting all the pieces on the table so that we can understand how it all fits.

At the end of the session, I send you home with initial recommendations and some resources.

Research and Care Plan Assembly: Free

I do work between our first and second session to put the pieces of your case together and do the deep dive into what is causing your symptoms.

I then put together a comphrehensive plan to help you take action.

Care Plan Appointment: $160

Scheduled 1 to 2 weeks after the Initial Intake, the Care Plan is where we sit down and go over the recommendations that will help you reach your health goals.

This visit is comprehensive and collaborative. You should walk out of our session with a clear idea of next steps, lots of optimism and excitment to get started.

Subsequent Follow-ups: $115 to $160

I believe that getting to the root cause and empowering transformation takes time. I prefer to spend an hour with patients so that we can get deep enough, and provide the support necessary to help you realize your goals so that you can have the mood and health that supports you in your life: your values and your dreams.

Most of my visits are 1 hour, however I do offer 30-minute appointments for acupuncture, supplement adjustment, and quicker check-ins.

My patients and I typically see each other once every 1 to 2 months for the first year of working together.

Registered Psychotherapy

20-Minute Meet-and-Greet Appointment: Free

We sit down face-to-face to see if we’re a good fit to work together.

50-Minute Therapy Session: $135

80-Minute Therapy Session: $170

I typically meet with clients for an hour weekly to once a month, depending on your goals, personal needs, and approach to therapy.

Inquire about sliding scale rates.

Most extended health benefits cover naturopathic medicine and registered psychotherapy, which can greatly help you offset the cost of care.

At the end of each session, you’ll be issued an invoice that you can use to submit your claim and be reimbursed for the amount that you’re covered for.

Check with your insurance company to understand the nature of your coverage and how to submit claims.

Yes. Research reveals that mental health conditions arise from imbalances in inflammation, oxidative stress, neuroplasticity, hormones and the gut microbiome. In an Australian study 32% of participants that underwent 12 weeks of dietary support and counselling experienced complete remission from their symptoms of depression compared to 8% remission achieved from medications and 12 weeks of therapy (1).

Mental health conditions stem from various biochemical, hormonal, and environmental drivers that I believe can be reversed if properly identified.

Many promising studies show that diet, exercise, social interaction, sleep hygiene, nutritional supplementation and herbal medicine all have merit in reducing symptoms of mental health conditions.

I know that you don’t want to give up coffee or spend hundreds a month on supplements.

I hear you and agree!

I also don’t want to follow a plan that might make me feel amazing in the short-term, but is expensive, difficult to follow and unsustainable in the long-term.

When creating a Care Plan I collaborate with you to make nutritional, supplemental, herbal and dietary recommendations that fit your health needs, preferences and lifestyle.

We make sure you feel empowered and GOOD when you leave my office and that you are well-supported.

I’m not going to take away your coffee!

You don’t need to choose!

I work with patients who are already taking medications to manage their mental health (or other) conditions, who are contemplating starting medication, or who are actively weaning from medications and require support.

I am trained to choose safe therapies that will not interfere or interact with your medical plan. I also collaborate with the rest of your circle of care if needed.

I help you develop a comprehensive care strategy that takes into account whatever current strategies you’re using to manage your health and wherever you are on your health journey.
