Session rates & payment details
Session Rates
50-minute session: $135
You can pay by:
- Credit card (securely stored on file)
- E-transfer (upon request)
Heads up
I ask for 48 hours’ notice to cancel or reschedule. Missed or last-minute cancellations will be billed at the full session rate.
Using benefits or insurance
You pay upfront by credit card or Interac e-transfer, and I’ll email you a detailed receipt after each session. You can then submit that receipt to your insurance provider to apply for reimbursement.
Note: Check with your employer or insurance provider to confirm whether they cover clinical counsellors with the “MPCC-Provisional” designation (formerly “RPC-C”).

Option 1: Direct Billing
If your plan directly covers sessions with an MPCC (Master Practitioner in Clinical Counselling), I may be able to bill your provider directly.

Note: Check with your provider to confirm whether they cover MPCCs and whether you’ll need to submit receipts or qualify for direct billing.

Option 2: Pay & Submit

You might be wondering...
Getting Started
What happens in the free call?
It’s just a 10-15 minute chat to see if we click. You can tell me what’s been on your mind, I’ll share how I work, and we’ll go from there—no pressure either way.
Do I need to prepare anything before the first session?
Nope. Just come as you are. Some people bring notes, but most just show up. We’ll work with whatever’s real that day.
Privacy & Safety
Is therapy confidential?
Yes. Everything you share stays between us—unless there’s a serious risk of harm to you or someone else (which I’m legally required to act on). I share more about this in our first session together.
How It Works
Do you offer in-person or online therapy?
Both! Right now I meet people online anywhere in BC, and soon I’ll also be welcoming clients in person at my downtown Vancouver office. You’ll be able to switch back and forth as needed.
How long will I be in therapy?
Totally depends. Some folks come for a handful of sessions, others stay longer. We’ll check in regularly so it always feels right for you.
Can I take breaks or stop therapy anytime?
Yes. Therapy’s always your choice. You’re in the driver’s seat.
Do you work with teens or couples?
I currently work with individuals 16+ only. If you’re looking for something else, I’m happy to help refer you.
Therapy sounds great, but will I have to spill everything to a stranger?
Not at all. You set the pace. We can start wherever feels manageable, and there’s no pressure to share more than you’re ready for.
Still have questions?
That’s what I’m here for! Send me a note or book in a free 10-15 minute chat.
