The consultation gives us a chance to talk about what is bringing you to counselling, what you are hoping for, and any questions you have about how I work.

You can also get a sense of whether the way I understand people and practise therapy feels right for you.

The complimentary consultation is a 20–30 minute conversation about what brings you in, what you are looking for, and any questions you may have about counselling with me.

It is intended to help us determine whether working together may be a good fit. It is not a counselling session and does not create an ongoing therapeutic relationship.

There is no expectation that you need to book a session afterward.

No. You may arrive with a specific concern, several overlapping things, or simply a sense that something in your life needs more attention.

We can begin with what is bringing you in and make sense of it together.

You can begin by booking a complimentary consultation using the Book a Consultation links throughout this website.

I offer 50-minute and 80-minute individual counselling sessions.

50-minute individual counselling sessions are $145.

80-minute individual counselling sessions are $210.

Payment is due after each session. You can pay by e-transfer.

How often we meet can depend on what brings you to counselling, what feels financially and practically sustainable, and what seems useful for the work.

Many people begin with weekly or biweekly sessions, and we can adjust the frequency together over time.

I ask for at least 24 hours’ notice if you need to cancel or reschedule a session.

Cancellations with less than 24 hours’ notice and missed appointments will be charged the full session fee. I understand that unexpected circumstances happen, and exceptions may be considered when appropriate.

If you arrive late, we can still use the remaining time in your scheduled appointment, but the session will usually end at the originally scheduled time and the regular session fee will apply.

I keep a limited number of reduced-fee spaces available when possible. Availability can vary, so you are welcome to ask about this during the consultation.

Some extended health plans provide coverage for counselling with a Registered Clinical Counsellor (RCC) and Canadian Clinical Counsellor (CCC).

Receipts are provided after payment and can be submitted to your extended health plan for reimbursement.

Coverage varies between plans, so I recommend confirming the details of your coverage directly with your insurance provider.

I currently offer virtual counselling to adults who are located in British Columbia at the time of their session.

Virtual counselling can work well if you have access to a private space, reliable internet, and feel reasonably comfortable meeting by video.

Some people appreciate being able to join therapy from their own environment, while others prefer being in the same physical room. We can talk together about what feels workable for you.

No. I work with adults from a range of backgrounds, identities, and life experiences.

I have particular experience and interest in working with LGBTQ+ people, queer people of colour, racialized clients, and people navigating identity, culture, migration, family expectations, sexuality, masculinity, and belonging.

You do not need to share my identities to work with me.

Yes. My work is informed by harm reduction, which means I do not assume abstinence needs to be the goal.

We can explore what substances do for you, what risks or concerns may be present, and what changes feel realistic and meaningful to you.

Yes. Therapy can include questions related to ethical non-monogamy, open relationships, polyamory, boundaries, agreements, jealousy, intimacy, commitment, and relationship patterns.

I do not approach non-monogamy itself as something that needs to be fixed.

My work is informed by existential and phenomenological, experiential, parts-informed, somatic, narrative, mindfulness, harm reduction, and practical behavioural approaches.

You do not need to know which kind of therapy you need before coming in. I draw from these approaches flexibly depending on you and what we are working toward together.

Counselling is confidential, with specific legal and ethical limits. I will explain those limits clearly as part of the consent process before we begin working together.

Email and messaging can be used for scheduling and other brief administrative communication.

Because these forms of communication are not intended for counselling, I generally do not use them for therapeutic conversations or processing concerns between sessions. If something feels important to work through, we can make room for it in our next session or arrange an earlier appointment when possible.

Messages are not monitored continuously and should not be used for urgent or crisis support.

My private practice is not an emergency or crisis-response service.

If you are in immediate danger, call 911 or go to your nearest emergency department. In Canada, you can also call or text 988 for suicide crisis support.
