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.

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.

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.
