I offer outdoor walk and talk sessions for anyone living in the Kimberley & Cranbrook area. Additionally, I have a small home office in Kimberley we can use if and when it’s more comfortable to be inside. I offer online virtual sessions and phone calls to clients based in British Columbia.
Individualized therapeutic counselling for adults who are facing challenges around communication, relationship conflict, stress management and mental health. Adult counselling focuses on the individual’s needs and strengths while developing skills for mindfulness, emotional regulation, interpersonal effectiveness and resiliency.
In couples, counselling partners are supported to address a variety of issues and challenges that are common in long-term committed relationships. This includes problems of miscommunication, lack of connection, loneliness, and issues related to money management, parenting, and changes with intimacy.
In family counselling, I help find solutions that work for each family member through a process of connection and exploration. I can help improve communication with family members, understand each other better, and learn to decrease conflict through better communication.
Coming from a long career in health care I rely on science, current peer-reviewed research, and evidence-based decision making. Integrating current best practices balanced with the lived experiences of my clients ensures we have all the resources we need to address our respective goals for therapy.
Please note that beginning February 1st, 2022, my fee will be $150 for all adult 50-minute sessions in accordance with professional association guidelines (BCACC). Family and Couple Therapy fee is $165.00 for all 50 minutes sessions.
Fees are aligned with recommendations for Registered Clinical Counsellors in British Columbia. I offer a few sliding scale-spaces. If cost is a barrier for you, please connect with me directly to discuss.
I accept payment by credit card, cheque, cash or e-transfer.
Please provide at least 24-hour notice for cancellations. Appointments that are cancelled less than 24 hours prior will be billed for the cost of the session. If you do not show up for your appointment, you will be billed for the cost of the session.
BC Medical Services Plan does not currently cover Registered Clinical Counsellors. Some extended health benefits programs cover Registered Clinical Counsellors. Please check with your insurance provider to see what your coverage is like.
I am currently authorized to provide services through WorkSafeBC.
Services are offered primarily in my home office in Kimberley and can be decided on an individual basis. I’m flexible and interested in alternative ways to work together. During the recent COVID restrictions, I am offering outdoor, walking, phone, or virtual sessions.
I typically have availability Monday through Wednesday with occasional evenings/weekends upon special request. I will respond to any email correspondence within 24 hours unless on a weekend.
