I do not bill insurance directly. However, I provide a detailed receipt following each session that you can submit to your insurance provider for reimbursement. Many extended health insurance plans cover services provided by a Canadian Certified Counsellor (CCC). I recommend checking with your provider to confirm your specific coverage.
You can request an appointment by email. Once we confirm a time that works, I will provide the information you need before your first session. In-person appointments are currently available on Sundays, with phone and video sessions also available across British Columbia.
The first session is about getting to know each other and helping you feel at ease. We will talk about what brings you in, what you are hoping for, and what support might look like moving forward. You are welcome to ask questions or take your time. There is no pressure to have it all figured out.
Most clients meet with me weekly or biweekly, depending on what feels right for them. We can adjust the pace as we go to match your needs and goals.
Standard sessions are 60 minutes in length. Longer sessions can be arranged if needed.
Yes. I provide counselling for children, youth, and adolescents ages 8 and up. My goal is to create a safe, supportive, and respectful space where young people feel heard, understood, and comfortable exploring whatever they may be going through. I tailor sessions to each child's age, developmental stage, and individual needs.
No. I offer both in-person counselling in Kamloops and secure phone or video sessions across British Columbia, giving you the flexibility to choose the option that works best for you.
Payment is due at the end of each session. I currently accept e-Transfer and cash. Following payment, you will receive a detailed receipt that can be submitted to your insurance provider for reimbursement, if applicable.
If you need to cancel or reschedule, I ask for at least 24 hours' notice. Cancellations with less than 24 hours' notice may be subject to the full session fee. I understand that life happens, so I do my best to be flexible when I can.
Your privacy is important. I follow all legal and ethical guidelines set out by the CCPA and BC privacy regulations. Your personal information and session notes are securely stored, and everything we talk about stays confidential unless there is a legal or safety reason to share. I will always explain those exceptions clearly if they ever apply.
That is completely okay. You do not need to have everything figured out before beginning counselling. We will work together to explore what is showing up for you, one step at a time.
