Frequently Asked Questions

Are you accepting new clients? What is your availability?
Yes! I am able to take new clients on Wednesdays and have limited capacity for online sessions early afternoons or evenings on other days.
What are your fees?
I charge $138 + GST ($145 total) per individual session or $150 + GST ($157.50 total) for a couples or family session (both 50 minutes), as is recommended by BC Association of Clinical Counsellors.
Are you covered by my benefits?
While I do not bill benefit companies directly, as a Registered Clinical Counsellor I am covered by many insurance companies. Check the fine print though, as some companies will only accept Registered Social Workers or Psychologists.
How do I book a session?
Contact me at 778-986-4151 or using the contact form on this website to book a session. Online booking is not available at this time.
How do you accept payment?
Typically I prefer e-transfer at the time of the session. In person sessions can also be paid via cash or cheque.
Do you accept ICBC clients?
Yes, absolutely, though I do not bill ICBC directly at this time.
Do you accept ARETE clients?
Yes, I do! These companies will pay me directly so there is no cost to you unless you miss a session without notice.
Do you accept CVAP clients?
Yes, I do! CVAP will subsidize your counselling session directly, so your out of pocket expense is much less. A sliding scale is available on a limited basis for the remainder.
How are you managing the Covid risk?
For the time being, all sessions are being held online via video platforms. We will return to in-person sessions (if preferred) as soon as it is deemed safe to do so.
