LIFE TRANSITIONS. NEW
Navigating Life Transitions
Support through change, grief, parenting, identity shifts, or stress – without losing each other.
You might relate if…
Life is changing – and it’s impacting your relationship. You’re trying to navigate it, but it feels like you’re on different pages.
You might be here because:
- You’re becoming parents, or trying to
- One of you is grieving or going through burnout
- Someone’s navigating identity shifts, illness, or career changes
- The weight of “life” is creating emotional distance or tension
- You want to grow together, but feel out of sync
What therapy with me feels like
We’ll make space for everything that’s coming up — the grief, hope, stress, and rebalancing. This isn’t about pushing through — it’s about staying connected in the unknown.
In our work together, you can expect:
- Grounded support for your nervous systems during change
- Clarity around what each partner is carrying and needing
- Emotional space for grief, identity shifts, or fear
- Tools to navigate change collaboratively
- Strengthening your bond through presence and shared meaning

- What support looks like for each of you
- What each partner is holding internally and externally
- How to move through this change as a team
- How to keep communication open during uncertainty

Frequently Asked Questions
How long will therapy last?
The frequency of your appointments will be discussed and determined during your initial therapy sessions, based on your unique needs. Typically, after six to eight sessions, you and your therapist will review your progress. Treatment goals will be assessed periodically and adjusted as necessary. It’s important to remember that you have full control over the therapy process. You are always free to discontinue treatment at any time, regardless of your therapist’s perspective. However, we encourage you to have a conversation with your therapist before making the decision to end therapy. Keep in mind, each therapy experience is individual, and outcomes can vary from person to person.
What will happen in the first session?
The first session, or “consultation,” is all about getting to know you and understanding what you’re going through. We’ll take the time to talk about your personal challenges and your situation, so we can create a treatment plan that feels right for you. You’ll be asked some questions, and we’ll explore different aspects of your concerns together. Sometimes, this may include psychological assessments or reaching out to others, like your doctor or family (but only with your permission). Once we have a clear picture, your therapist will share some treatment options with you, and together, you’ll decide on a plan that feels comfortable and helpful for you.
Are Psychotherapy Services Covered by OHIP?
Psychotherapy services are not covered by OHIP. However, many extended health insurance plans provide partial coverage for psychotherapy services. The coverage details, including reimbursement rates, may vary depending on your insurer and plan. We recommend contacting your insurance provider directly to confirm your coverage details and claim process. Payment for services is due at the end of each session. A detailed receipt will be provided, which you can submit to your insurance company for reimbursement or use for tax purposes.
