Yes. All of the information disclosed in our sessions will be kept confidential, with the following exceptions:

(i) Risk of Harm (to self or others):

(ii) Child Abuse or Neglect

(iii) Court Order

(iv) Clinical Consultation*

*In order to provide you the best possible service, I occassionally consult with other clinicians, who are also bound by confidentiality regulations

I'm very willing to talk about these exceptions to confidentiality, and in as many cases as possible will be transparent with you about my process and duty to report.

I recognize everyone has different expectations and hopes for counselling, so I'm happy to offer a free 20-minute consultation - no strings attached. Most people use this time as a way of establishing a sense of how we will work together. This may include pre-planned questions, while others prefer to simply have a conversation and see how it feels. I'd encourage you to have some sense of what you're looking for in a counsellor and what you hope to get out of therapy, so we can discuss this during your consult.​

You will find that counselling and therapy costs vary depending on the practitioner. I try to keep my fees accessible, while also reflecting my specialized training, professional experience, and clinical expertise. My hourly rate also encompasses the additional time, supportive care, and necessary work that extends beyond our face-to-face time together.

My fees are carefully considered so that I can offer my clients the best quality care. While therapy with me is a financial investment, it is also personalized and tailored to your unique goals. My standard rates as of January 2026 are outlined below:

20-minute phone consultation: Free

Individual counselling sessions: $180 / 50 minutes | $270 / 85 minutes

Couples/relationship counselling sessions: $275 / 85 minutes | $370.00 / 115 minutes

I prefer to receive payment by Interac e-transfer, but I can also process major credit card payments through the Jane App. Payment must be provided at the beginning of every session.

Many extended health providers will pay a portion or all of your visit fee for counselling. However, every plan is different, so I recommend checking with your health care provider in advance to confirm your coverage before beginning therapy.

At this time, I do not direct bill to extended health insurance plans, but I will provide you with a detailed receipt after every appointment, which you can then submit to your insurance provider for reimbursement.

I offer in-person appointments from my home office in Greater Victoria. You will receive the address and directions once you book your first appointment.

I offer online and phone therapy services for clients located throughout British Columbia. If you are located outside of BC, you may still be able to access my services, but this depends on your provincial regulations. Feel free to contact me if you would like to discuss your situation specifically.

Front Entrance Accessibility: The front entrance is street level, though there is a small ½ step to enter the space.

Washrooms: There is one single-user washroom inside my office space, with a support/safety bar.

Masking: Masking is optional, and I am happy to mask upon request. I’m also able to open the window(s) to provide airflow.

The Physical Space: I sit in a chair which faces a moderately sized 3-seater couch. There are two windows which offer natural light, but the curtains can be closed as needed. I have fidget toys, pillows, and blankets in my office, which are disinfected regularly. You’re also welcome to bring your own stim and/or comfort items. The space has overhead lights, but I typically use lamp lighting, and we can adjust the lighting to your preference.

Scents: To ensure a welcoming environment for individuals with asthma, migraines, and scent sensitivities, I aim to offer a low-scent space by minimizing the use of strong fragrances. I do not use harsh chemical cleaners, synthetic perfumes, or strong artificial air fresheners. However, to create a calming and grounded atmosphere, I occassionally use an aromatherapy diffuser utilizing subtle, essential oils. If you have allergies, sensitivities, or are simply uncomfortable with certain smells, please let me know. I am fully committed to accommodating your needs and will happily turn off the diffuser, ventilate the space, or ensure the office is scent-free prior to your arrival. Please feel free to notify me before your session or during intake. However, there is a garden outside my office, which contains fresh lavender, herbs, and other scented flowers/plants.

I meet with clients virtually using a secure, confidential video platform designed for healthcare professionals. All you need is:

• A quiet, private space where you won’t be interrupted

• A computer, tablet, or phone with a stable internet connection

• A comfortable seat, and (if you’d like) items such as a blanket, cushion, or grounding object

Many people find online sessions surprisingly effective, and even more comfortable than in-person sessions because they can work from their own safe space.

Yes. Somatic therapy does not require physical touch. It’s about awareness, pacing, and gentle attention to your nervous system. We use conversation, guided awareness, imagery, and sometimes simple movements or breath. Healing happens through your own sensory experiences, self-observation, and nervous system regulation, which translates beautifully into the online space.

Email is the best way to reach me, especially for last minute appointment changes and cancellations, and I will generally get back to you within 24-48 hours.

Emailing between sessions is primarily for scheduling, payment, or booking needs. We may collaborate on a plan for out-of-session communication together, and the boundaries/limitations of this agreement will vary based on the therapeutic need. I occassionally email clients with additional resources, which will be discussed in-session, first. I cannot function as a crisis service, and cannot guarantee a response to urgent requests.

Absolutely. I’ve worked with many other therapists, healers, and practitioners. Many come to me for personal support and therapy, or to explore their clinical work through case consultations.

I try and balance time as a fluid construct, while also creating a reliable container for us to work within. I am sometimes a few minutes late to session, and will make the time up on the other end - or if I’m unable, I will discount your session. I’m happy to offer the same grace back to you whenever my schedule allows (generally up to about ten minutes).

Standard sessions are approximately 55-60 minutes, while extended sessions offer more spaciousness in blocks of 90 minutes and 2 hours.

Whenever possible, I aim to bring the session to a natural end vs. being bound to a particular time on the clock. There is a visible clock in my office, but ultimately I hold the responsibility for time management.
