I work with youth ages 13+, adults, couples, and families. While individual counselling is available for ages 13+, children of all ages can participate in family counselling.My practice welcomes people of diverse backgrounds, identities, relationships, and family structures.

Our first session is an opportunity to get to know one another and begin exploring what brings you to counselling. There’s no pressure to share everything at once or to know exactly what you want to work on.We’ll move at a pace that feels comfortable for you, talk about what you’re hoping to get out of counselling, and begin to get a sense of what might be most helpful moving forward.

I ask for at least 24 hours’ notice if you need to cancel or reschedule your appointment. Cancellations with less than 24 hours’ notice may be subject to the full session fee. I also understand that life happens, and unexpected circumstances or emergencies come up. If this happens, please reach out. I’m always happy to approach these situations with understanding and consideration.

Standard counselling sessions are 50 minutes for individuals. I also offer extended 80 minute sessions. 110 minute sessions are available by request. Couple and family sessions are 60 minutes long. I also offer extended 90 minute sessions. 120 minute sessions are available by request.Depending on your needs and the type of work we’re doing, you may wish to schedule a longer appointment. This is typically recommended for trauma work, as well as couple and family sessions.

Yes. What you share in counselling is kept confidential, with some exceptions required by law and professional ethics. We’ll go over confidentiality and its limits before beginning counselling so you know exactly what you can expect.If you have any questions or concerns about confidentiality, you’re always welcome to ask.

Finding the right counsellor is personal, and it’s important that you feel comfortable with the person you choose to work with. I offer a free consultation where you can ask questions, share a little about what you’re looking for, and get a sense of whether working together feels like a good fit.There’s no pressure to book a session afterward.

Many extended health plans provide coverage for counselling services offered by a Registered Clinical Counsellor (RCC) or Canadian Certified Counsellor (CCC). Coverage varies between plans, so I recommend checking with your insurance provider to confirm the details of your individual policy.

I offer a limited number of reduced-fee spaces for clients who may otherwise have difficulty accessing counselling. Please feel free to reach out to ask about current availability.

Yes. Virtual counselling is available throughout British Columbia, with in-person appointments in Sicamous and Salmon Arm.

I am a Registered Clinical Counsellor (RCC) and Canadian Certified Counsellor (CCC) with a Master of Counselling degree. These designations mean that I have completed graduate-level training in counselling and meet professional standards for education, ethics, and ongoing professional development. I am registered with the BC Association of Clinical Counsellors (BCACC) and certified through the Canadian Counselling and Psychotherapy Association (CCPA).
