Frequently Asked Questions

I offer individual sessions for adolescents (ages 10 and up) and adults of any age. I also offer relationship counselling for multiple family members and couples.
I like to think of my offering as talk therapyPLUS. We talk, yes. But we pay close attention to your embodied experience and intentionally involve your nervous system. We may incorporate art-making, too, if that appeals to you :)

My approach draws on various theories and modalities. My favourite ones are:
Person-Centred Therapy (this means a lot of careful listening and prompts to deepen your self-understanding)
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) (this approach uses mindfulness to align your behaviour with your personal values, even in the face of challenging circumstances)
I also incorporate elements of the following approaches:
Lifespan Integration
Narrative Therapy
Logotherapy and Existential Therapy
Internal Family Systems
Solution-Focused Therapy
Gestalt Therapy
Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP)
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT)
Play Therapy

I don’t have a pre-determined number of sessions, because each client has unique needs. I usually recommend a minimum of 3–5 sessions, but I also offer long-term support through the seasons of life.
We can meet weekly,monthly, or just whenever you need to talk something through.

I hold the designation “Canadian Certified Counsellor” (CCC #11254435), granted by the Canadian Counselling and Psychotherapy Association.
Many extended health plans include coverage for CCCs. Please check directly with your provider regarding your policy’s coverage.
We do not currently offer direct billing to any health plans. We need a credit card on file prior to the first session. The card will be charged following each session. If applicable, you can then submit your receipt to your insurance provider.

I do offer a limited amount of sliding scale/reduced-cost counselling. Unfortunately, there are no further openings for reduced-cost counselling at this time.
