To schedule a consultation or appointment, new and returning clients can reach out to me via email, phone, or the contact form on this website's contact page.

Payment can be made by e-transfer, credit card, or cash. All payments for counselling services are due prior to the beginning of the session. A full receipt will be emailed to you once payment has been received.

To best serve all of my clients, I kindly ask for a minimum of 24 hours notice for any cancellations or rescheduling requests. This policy is in place because I have dedicated and reserved your session time exclusively for you. It ensures that we can make the most of our scheduled time together. Late cancellations may be subject to a charge at your regular rate.

Our team is committed to providing compassionate, inclusive, and culturally sensitive support to individuals of diverse cultural backgrounds and identities for adults and youth. This dedication extends to serving clients from all walks of life, ensuring that our services are accessible and tailored to meet their unique needs.

All communication and counselling sessions are held in strict confidence as required by law. Confidentiality is of utmost importance in our therapeutic relationship. However, it's important to acknowledge that there are limits to this confidentiality. These limits include situations where there is a risk of harm to a vulnerable person, such as a child or elder, when a court subpoenas clinical notes, or when there is imminent harm to the client or others.

In the event that a breach of confidentiality becomes necessary, I will discuss it with you and work together to address it in the best possible way. Your well-being and safety are paramount, and we will navigate any challenges while upholding ethical standards and ensuring your informed involvement throughout the process.

Your first session is a chance for us to get to know you and understand what’s bringing you to counselling. We’ll talk about your concerns, your goals, and what you’re hoping might change. For couples, this includes hearing from both partners and beginning to understand your relationship dynamics.

Your clinician will also explain how counselling works, answer any questions you have, and discuss confidentiality and consent. There’s no pressure to share more than you’re ready for. The pace we follow in the therapy room is guided by what feels comfortable and safe for you.

By the end of the session, we’ll usually have a clearer sense of next steps and whether working together feels like a good fit. It’s completely normal to feel nervous before the first session. Many clients share that they feel some relief just taking this first step.

Yes. We offer both in-person and virtual counselling sessions. In-person sessions take place at our Vancouver office, and virtual sessions are offered through secure video platform.

You’re welcome to choose the option that feels most comfortable and accessible for you, and some clients choose to alternate between in-person and virtual sessions depending on their needs.

Because counselling regulation in Canada happens at the provincial level, our team is able to offer virtual counselling to clients in provinces and territories without statutory regulation of counselling/psychotherapy (e.g., BC, Alberta, Saskatchewan, Manitoba, Newfoundland & Labrador, Yukon, NWT, Nunavut) using our Canadian Certified Counsellor (CCC) designation. In provinces with regulated psychotherapy/counselling professions (Ontario, Quebec, New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, and Prince Edward Island), each clinician will confirm that providing virtual services to clients there is permitted under that province’s regulatory requirements before we begin.

It’s completely normal to wonder whether a therapist is the right fit. Counselling works best when you feel safe, heard, and understood. If you ever feel unsure or uncomfortable, you can talk openly with your clinician about it.

Sometimes, a brief discussion can help adjust the approach so it feels more comfortable. If you still don’t feel like it’s a good fit, we can help you connect with another clinician in our practice who may better match your needs and style. Your comfort and trust are our priority.

Yes! We offer a 15-minute free consultation call to help you get a sense of how counselling works and whether our services are a good fit for you.

These calls can be done over the phone or by secure video call. During the consultation, you can ask questions, share a little about your concerns, and learn more about how we work.

Our standard individual counselling sessions are 50 minutes, while for couples counselling, we strongly recommend 75-minute sessions to allow enough time for both partners to share and work on relationship dynamics.

The frequency of sessions depends on your needs and goals. Many couples start with weekly sessions, while some may meet every two weeks or on a schedule that fits their life. During your first session, we’ll discuss the frequency and length that works best for you.

Yes. We provide receipts for counselling sessions that are suitable for extended health insurance reimbursement.

If you plan to submit to your insurance provider, please check with them beforehand to confirm coverage for Registered Clinical Counsellors (RCC) or Canadian Certified Counsellors (CCC).

Yes. Individual counselling can be very helpful for understanding your relationship patterns, improving communication, managing conflict, and building emotional awareness.

Even if your partner isn’t attending, you can work on strategies to strengthen your relationships, set healthy boundaries, and gain insight into your own needs and reactions.

Yes! We offer premarital counselling for couples who are engaged or planning to marry.

Premarital sessions help you explore important topics like communication, conflict resolution, expectations, finances, family dynamics, and shared goals- giving you tools to strengthen your relationship before marriage.

The length of couples counselling varies depending on your goals, the concerns you’re bringing in, and how you work together as a couple. Some couples come for short-term support around a specific issue, while others choose to continue for longer-term relationship growth.

Many couples notice meaningful shifts within the first few sessions, especially as communication improves and patterns become clearer. During your early sessions, we’ll talk about your goals and get a sense of what timeline might be most helpful for you.

It’s very common for strong emotions to come up in couples counselling. Disagreements or moments of tension can actually be helpful, as they give us a chance to slow things down and understand what’s happening beneath the conflict.

Your clinician will help guide the conversation so both partners feel heard, keep the session respectful, and support you in learning new ways to communicate and repair. Counselling isn’t about avoiding conflict, it’s about learning how to navigate it more safely and effectively together.

Absolutely. Many couples come to counselling to strengthen their relationship, improve communication, or address concerns before they become more stressful or overwhelming.

Couples counselling isn’t only for times of crisis, it can be a proactive space to build connection, deepen understanding, and develop tools that support long-term relationship health.

It’s common for partners to feel differently about starting counselling. Ideally, both partners are willing to attend and participate, but they don’t need to feel equally motivated or certain at the beginning.

Counselling can still be helpful even if one partner is more hesitant. A big part of the early work is creating a space where both people feel heard and understood, and where motivation and goals can be explored together.

Couples counselling may be helpful if you’re feeling stuck in the same patterns, struggling with communication, experiencing distance or recurring conflict, or simply wanting to strengthen your relationship. Many couples seek counselling not because something is “wrong,” but because they want support navigating change, stress, or important transitions together.

If you’re unsure, a consultation call can help you talk through your concerns and decide whether couples counselling feels like a good next step for you.

We support couples with a wide range of concerns, including communication challenges, recurring conflict, emotional distance, trust and infidelity, intimacy concerns, life transitions, stress, and differing needs or expectations.

We also work with couples who want to strengthen their relationship, improve connection, or build healthier patterns, not only those in crisis.

Individual counselling focuses on your personal experiences, emotions, patterns, and goals. It offers a private space to explore things like stress, self-esteem, life transitions, or relationship concerns from your own perspective.

Couples counselling focuses on the relationship itself. How you communicate, manage conflict, and connect with one another. The clinician works with both partners together to understand shared patterns and support healthier interactions.

Both approaches can be helpful, and some clients choose to engage in individual counselling, couples counselling, or a combination depending on their needs.

Yes. Counselling can help couples understand and address emotional distance, rebuild trust, and strengthen intimacy. Through guided conversations and practical strategies, you can learn to communicate your needs, reconnect with your partner, and create a deeper sense of closeness and understanding.

Yes. Counselling can provide a safe space to process the impact of infidelity or betrayal, explore emotions, and rebuild trust. We work with couples to improve communication, set healthy boundaries, and develop strategies to repair the relationship if both partners are willing.

Yes. Counselling can help couples navigate separation or co-parenting in a healthier way. We provide a safe space to improve communication, manage conflict, make decisions collaboratively, and develop strategies that prioritize both partners’ and children’s well-being.

Yes. Individual therapy can be very helpful for understanding attachment patterns, emotional responses, and recurring dynamics that show up in relationships. By exploring your experiences, history, and needs, therapy can support you in building healthier connections, improving communication, and responding more intentionally in relationships.
