I work with adults, adolescents, and teenagers across the gender spectrum.

I do not work with:

• Court-Mandated Therapy

• Crisis Response/24-Hour Services (If you need immediate mental health support, please contact the local distress line, available 24 hours, at 310-6789 (no area code).

• People who actively have suicidal and homicidal intents and plans.

• Clients in need of partial hospitalization or an intensive outpatient program.

I do not provide direct billing to extended health, insurance companies, etc. I will provide you with a receipt with my RCC registration number once you’ve paid for your session and you can submit that receipt to your provider for reimbursement.

I offer depth work which is most effective with regular sessions. Therefore, I require a commitment from clients to attend weekly or bi-weekly therapy. 

After our first session, if it feels like a good fit, you will be able to go in and pre-book those sessions.

I ask clients to treat these times as a firm commitment to their mental health and avoid canceling or rescheduling whenever possible.

As a counsellor, my focus is on:

• Making sure you feel seen, heard, and understood.

• Creating a safe space where you can be your true self.

• Offering non-judgmental support, no matter what you’re going through.

• Centering your needs and your process, at your pace.

• Building a strong therapeutic relationship—because research shows that when there's a good fit between therapist and client, real and lasting change is possible.

The first session is an opportunity to get to know one another. You’ll be able to share your story and experiences with me, as well as ask questions. My role is to hold the space for you and really get an understanding of your thoughts, feelings and perspectives.

In this session, you can also get a feel for my therapy space and what therapy will be like. Together, we’ll decide if we would be a good fit to work together.

The amount of therapy sessions you may need will vary depending on your goals. Healing is often not a linear process. I believe that long-term sustainable change and transformation is a process that does not involve a ‘quick fix’.

Counselling is most effective when it is regular and consistent.

I offer deep, ongoing therapy, which works best when we meet regularly. Because of that, I ask for a commitment to weekly or bi-weekly sessions.

I provide in-person counselling at my private practice, located in Vancouver in the Strathcona area.

I also provide secure online counselling through Jane and Walk & Talk Therapy, which combines the benefits of counselling, nature, and movement.

I offer anxiety counselling, depression counselling, trauma counselling and more.

I am unavailable after opening hours and Fine Balance Counselling & Yoga Therapy is not an emergency service. If you require immediate support, If you are in crisis/distress, please contact the mental health support line, available 24 hours a day, at 310-6789 (no area code) or call 911.

Therapy should be accessible to everyone. Contact me to join my waitlist for clients who need a reduced rate.

Here is a list of reduced cost & free counselling services in Vancouver 2025.

I am a registered therapist with the Crime Victim Assistance Program (CVAP) and offer CVAP funded counselling.

This is a government-funded program that provides financial assistance to individuals seeking counselling following traumatic events. If you have been a victim, immediate family member, or witness of abuse or crime offences in British Columbia, you might be eligible to receive counselling support covered by this program. Check out VictimLink BC for more information.

Please note that I bill the government directly for our sessions and CVAP covers a portion of my fees ($135.00 per session). Clients pay the remainder of the standard session fee: $25 (60 min) & $75 (90 min).

I require that you keep a credit card on file for payment of sessions.

I have a 48-hour cancellation policy. I charge the full fee for a missed appointment, or for an appointment cancelled with less than 48 hours’ notice.

I allow up to five cancellations per calendar year.

For late arrivals, sessions will end at the scheduled time, and the full fee will be charged.

Walk & Talk Therapy is a form of outdoor counselling in which physical activity and exposure to nature are a part of the therapeutic approach.

Movement can help decrease anxiety and depression. Evidence suggests that engaging in movement can also reduce intrusive thoughts (unwanted thoughts that cause significant distress) and rumination (the tendency to repeatedly think about the same thing, often in the form of negative thoughts). 

Walking is known to be a method of stress management and exposure to nature can help the nervous system relax. Walking has been shown to help with “releasing” and coping with aggression or irritation.

Walk & Talk Therapy can improve emotion regulation and awareness and improve one's ability to cope with life transitions. Walking is a literal, physical way to keep moving forward.
