Counselling Services

Counselling services are provided in a safe, comfortable, and confidential environment through collaboration. The process will be holistic to encompass your emotional, mental, physical, and spiritual needs and well-being. An integrated approach will be individualized building on your innate wisdom with a compassionate, caring manner.

I am accepting new clients and currently offer counselling and support to individual, couples, in person, online, or by phone.

Online services are PIPPA compliant to ensure privacy. A stable and secure internet or cellular connection is required for tele-health services. Headphones are recommended though not required.

As a Registered Clinical Counsellor (RCC), my services are covered by the majority of extended benefits plans. I am a FNHA and Medavie Blue Cross provider. Please confirm coverage with your provider. You will receive a receipt for my services that you may submit to your extended health benefits provider for reimbursement.

I accept most forms of payment including e-transfers and most credit cards. Payment can be in person or through the Janeapp profile (where a credit card can be uploaded and charged through the system).

Payment is required on the day of your appointment. I am currently not direct billing to insurance carriers.

If you are in crisis please contact Vancouver Island Crisis line at 18884943888, call 911 or go to the nearest emergency department.

Therapeutic modalities/approaches

I approach therapy with an emphasis on the therapeutic relationship as a foundation. I am heavily influenced by the intersection and overlap of neuroscience, evidenced based research, ancient wisdoms, and philosophies. I am trained in a variety of modalities and integrate approaches of Mindfulness, Narrative Therapy, Existential therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Parts work, and Somatic practices. I am certified in Pain Reprocessing Therapy (PRT), and Accelerated Resolution Therapy (ART).
