With me you always have the right to say: yes, no, maybe, pass, I don’t understand, I don’t know, that won’t work; and you have the right to know the limits to the privacy I can offer you.

As your therapist, I provide a compassionate and collaborative space to explore your intentions and challenges. My goal is to help you access your inner wisdom, strengths, resources, and values to navigate life’s complexities.

It is important to me that I am the right fit for you. If that is not the case I value the opportunity to provide you options to explore at your discretion that might open up alternative pathways for you.

I offer both Telehealth (video or phone) and in-person sessions.

I may have a waitlist.

You officially become a client after you have completed the full consent process, which is usually by the second counselling session. You remain a client until 3 months after our last contact.

My consent process is attuned to what information you are ready to receive when, and therefore unfolds in segments. Typically you have all the information you need to decide whether to hire me as your therapist by the end of the first counselling session.

My fee is $180 per 50-minute counselling session. Fees for couples counselling are the same.

Many extended health benefit plans cover services provided by a Registered Social Worker. Please verify with your provider in advance. Please note I am registered in the provinces of Ontario and Alberta.

I do not offer direct billing. Payments can be made by credit card or e-transfer, and receipts are provided for insurance or tax purposes.
