Does any of this feel familiar?
The weight you’ve been carrying.
If a few of these landed, you’re not failing. You’re carrying more than one person should, for longer than anyone should. That’s exactly what this space is for.
Being the one everyone relies on
Looking fine. Feeling far from it.
The shift that follows you home
A mind that won’t switch off
Snapping at the people you love
Guilt every time you rest
Wondering how long you can keep this pace
Therapy can be a place to finally put some of that weight down, feel understood, and find your way back to yourself.

Hi, I’m Alex.
I work with healthcare workers and other professionals who are used to showing up for everyone else. Many of the people I see look like they have it all together. Inside, they’re exhausted, anxious, and quietly wondering how long they can keep going.
My style is warm, down-to-earth and practical. We’ll talk like two people, not a textbook, and build tools you can actually use on a Tuesday night after a long day.
“You know how to care for everyone on your shift. Balance means finally putting yourself in the picture too.”

What working together looks like
One small step, then we go at your pace.
01
A free 15-minute call
A no-pressure video chat to see if we click. Ask anything. There’s nothing to prepare.
02
Your first session
We slow things down and talk through what’s been weighing on you, at a pace that feels okay.
03
Building your toolkit
Together we work on boundaries, anxiety and switching off, in ways that fit your real schedule.
CBT helps you notice the thought patterns that keep you stuck, and gently shift them.
ACT helps you make room for hard feelings while moving toward what matters to you.
Mindfulness helps you come back to the present moment instead of spiralling ahead.
Secure video sessions
Virtual therapy
Therapy from the place you already feel safe.
When you’re already stretched thin, getting to an appointment can feel like one more thing on the list. Virtual sessions take that weight off, so your energy goes into the work that matters.
No commute, no waiting room
Join from home, or from a quiet room at work on a break. Your hour is spent on you, not in traffic.
Fits around your shifts
Evening and weekend times mean you don’t have to choose between your schedule and your wellbeing.
Private by design
No chance of running into a colleague or patient in a waiting room. Sessions run on Jane’s secure, Canadian platform.
Easier to open up
Many people find it easier to talk honestly from their own space, with a cup of tea and a blanket nearby.
The practical bits, made simple.
Anywhere in Ontario
All sessions are by secure video, so you can book from Toronto, Ottawa or anywhere in between.
Evenings & weekends
Appointments that fit around shifts, not the other way around.
Sliding scale
Limited sliding-scale spots available. Just ask during your consult.
Insurance receipts
Accepted by most major plans, including Sun Life, Manulife, Canada Life and Green Shield.
Fees
Simple, upfront pricing.
No hidden costs. Your first 15-minute consult is always free, and every session comes with a receipt you can submit to your insurance.
Individual therapy
$185
Per session. One-on-one support for burnout, anxiety and the weight of always holding it together.
Couples therapy
$220
Per session. A calm space for you and your partner to reconnect and work through what's been building up.
