First Step

I offer a complimentary 20 to 30 minute phone consultation. This is a gentle starting place for us to connect and see if working together feels like a good fit. You are welcome to share what has been weighing on you and what brings you to counselling, and I encourage you to ask any questions you may have about the process. This conversation is about choice, consent, and care. You are invited to move at your own pace. You can schedule your meet and greet call here.

Second Step

Opening up to someone new about your fears, hurts, and hopes can feel vulnerable. I aim to offer a warm, compassionate space where you feel heard, respected, and supported.

In our first session, I will invite you to share what you are struggling with and what you hope for yourself through counselling. Together, we begin to explore the inner strengths and external supports that can help you move toward your goals. We will also review informed consent so that our work remains collaborative and grounded in your agency.

Third Step

As counselling unfolds, I invite you to practice compassion with yourself. Shifting your relationship to long-standing challenges can be tender work, even when it is deeply meaningful. We will honour small steps and moments of insight along the way.

You are encouraged to ask questions, share reflections, and notice what supports you in moving through anxiety, fear, or stress with greater steadiness and care. This is a process of evolving, and you do not have to do it alone.

Rates:

I understand that finding therapy that is affirming, culturally responsive, and accessible can be challenging, especially for youth, BIPOC folx, and those in creative fields. To help make counselling more accessible while ensuring my practice is sustainable, I offer a limited number of sliding scale openings starting at $80. If cost is a barrier, I invite you to discuss during our consultation call to explore options.

Regular Rates:

1 x 60 Minute Session: $136

1 x 75 Minute Session: $150 

2-3 Person Relationship Counselling X 60 Minute Session: $150

Sessions are available via video, phone, in person, and outdoors, weather permitting and previous arrangement with the therapist.

Payments:

Fees are due after each session by cash, e-transfer, cheque or credit card unless covered by a third-party EAP.

Direct Billing is available for some extended medical providers.

Cancellations

I understand that life can be unpredictable. To honour both your time and mine, I ask that appointments be rescheduled or cancelled with at least 24 hours’ notice whenever possible. If changes are made with less than 24 hours’ notice, a $50 late change fee will apply. For missed appointments or cancellations within 4 hours of the session, the full session fee applies unless there is a medical emergency. This policy helps ensure that space is available for others who may need support and allows our work together to remain sustainable and consistent.
