You need a therapist who speaks your language—who truly understands the emotional weight of rural and farm life, and how people-pleasing, perfectionism and anxiety go hand-in-hand in these environments. My approach is rooted in real-life experience, offering personalized support that fits your needs.

What to Expect from Therapy

• Compassionate, Judgment-Free Support – A safe space to talk about stress, anxiety, burnout, family dynamics or whatever you feel like talking about.

• Practical Coping Strategies – Tools to help you manage overwhelming emotions and regain control.

• Flexible Virtual Sessions – Therapy that fits your busy schedule without the need to leave home.

• A Therapist Who Understands Agriculture – As both a farmer and a psychotherapist, I understand the unique struggles of rural life because I live them, too.

Session Fee

• $180 per 50-minute individual session.

• Insurance Coverage – Fresh Air Counselling is a private-pay therapy service; you pay for each session as you go. I accept credit card or e-Transfer payments. For those who have health insurance benefits, many extended benefit plans cover psychotherapy. Check your policy or contact your provider to determine the coverage parameters and how to submit a claim for reimbursement.

Scheduling and Cancellation Policy

Clients are offered a flexible schedule, but with the intent of choosing the same day and time for their session each week. Scheduling this way provides both of us with consistency; clients tell me they prefer to keep their sessions on the same day and time each week. I’ve been told (and I believe it!) that it’s way easier to plan the rest of life around therapy than plan therapy around the rest of life.

But of course, life happens—especially on the farm—and cancellations are a part of therapy. Clients are granted four free cancellations per year for any reason. You don’t have to tell me why or give me notice; you just need to tell me you’re not coming so I don’t spend the hour worrying and incessantly texting/calling you. But on the fifth cancellation instance and for any cancellation thereafter, the full session fee will be charged.

Rescheduling is also an option, but limited spots are available for this purpose.
