The purpose of this list is to help you orient in the kinds of issues I have experience supporting clients with. It is okay not to be certain about what it is exactly that leads you to seek counselling. Part of my job is to help you gain more clarity around the challenges you are facing.

 
 

Who I work with

I provide counselling support to adult clients (19 y.o. and older) of all genders, sexual orientations, cultural and faith backgrounds. I seek to provide affirming services for 2SLGBTQIA+ folks. As a white cisgender heterosexual able-bodied woman, I aim to practice from the place of cultural humility: honouring worldviews, practices and values of people whose identities and cultural backgrounds are different from mine.

 
 

Initial Consultation

You are welcome to reach out for a free 20-minute phone or online initial consultation. The purpose of this conversation is to help you determine if I am the right counsellor for you, and for me to gauge if I am an appropriate counsellor to support you.

If either of us decides that we are not a right fit, I will provide you with referrals to colleagues who might be more appropriate.

 
 

Fees

The cost of a one-hour counselling session is $160. Payments by cash, cheque or e-transfer are due at the beginning of the session.
