Exploration of identity, belonging, meaning and purpose
Sometimes people seek counselling not being certain about what it is they are struggling with. It’s okay to begin in a place of uncertainty. Part of my job is to help you gain clarity about the challenges you are facing.
Who I work with
I provide counselling support to adult clients of all genders, sexual orientations, cultural and faith backgrounds. In working alongside people whose identities and cultural backgrounds are different from mine, I seek to practice from the place of cultural humility acknowledging that there is not one way to walk towards healing and to deconstruct my biases that get in the way of meaningful connection and genuine accompanying.
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 including GST. Payments by cash, cheque or e-transfer are due at the beginning of the session.
Insurance
