I don't offer 10–15 minute consultations. This short time frame makes it difficult to accurately assess whether we would be a good fit, and isn't enough time to dive into why you might be seeking counselling.

Through our online booking software. It’s really the easiest and quickest way. Counselling is meant to relieve stress, not add to it. The online schedule allows you to see the next available appointment, cancel with confirmation receipts, and book multiple appointments. There’s also a waitlist option.

When you book your appointment online, it will prompt you to fill out an intake form. Please ensure this is completed online 24 hours before our visit so that I may review it in preparation for our time together. Some clients keep journals or like to jot down notes—feel free to use these tools during our counselling session if it helps you in recalling feelings or facts about situations, or to take notes while we are talking.

The office is located in East Vancouver, near Renfrew Street and East 1st Avenue, accessible by bus or car. Free parking is available on the street. Please note that the office is located in the basement suite of a house, with a separate entrance.

I meet you where you’re at. This can take the form of me listening to you, collaborative problem solving, asking questions, providing insight—or any combination of these. I provide a safe, confidential place for you to express those feelings and thoughts. You can expect kindness, support, humour (at the right time) and no judgement. Read more about my approach to therapy here.

In our first session we’ll go through your history, your expectations and why you are seeking counselling. Always feel free to ask questions. If you feel nervous, that’s completely normal. We then start to focus on your concern(s) by agreeing upon the direction together, goal setting and deeper discussion.

It’s difficult to estimate how many sessions are needed from the outset. People seek counselling for many different reasons. Generally there is a feeling of discontent or confusion that needs to be addressed; stressors that need identifying; or a challenge that he or she is seeking help with. Each situation is unique and requires at least a few sessions to benefit from counselling. Relationship and emotional patterns usually take years to develop, and therefore some time to modify.

Please provide 24 hours’ notice. If insufficient notice is given, the session fee will be charged. All cancellations should be made through the online booking system.

If you require a change in time, please cancel your first appointment and then rebook using the online scheduling calendar.
