Therapy Services
Introductory Conversation
No Charge
If you would like to know more about me and my approach prior to scheduling your first session, I offer a 20-minute introductory conversation at no charge, that can take place on Zoom or by phone. This is an opportunity for us to connect prior to establishing a counsellor / client working relationship. It’s not intended to be a short counselling session, but more of a meet-and-greet / vibe check!
Individual Counselling
$175.00 / Hour
Maybe you’ve done individual counselling before, or maybe you’re new to the idea and aren’t quite sure what it’s about. Whether you’re a seasoned client, or exploring this for the first time, I’d be priviliged to be part of your journey of healing and growth. Life can be demanding, and we all have a lot of roles to fill and obligations to satisfy. It’s easy for our personal needs to get lost in the shuffle and for important issues to get shoved aside. Individual counselling allows you to step away from the noise and distraction of life by creating a space where your needs become the focus as you’re met with acceptance, empathy, curiousity, and intention. My approach is strengths-base and trauma-informed, but at its heart it’s person-centered, which means I’m here to guide you while not pretending to be an expert on you, and how you should live your life. Instead, I have confidence in your abilty to make meaningful change, and offer my full attention as we explore what is working, what’s not working, and what you want to do about it. Our work together is ideally a collaboration where we co-create achievable goals and find solutions that are tailored specifically to you.
Relationship Counselling
$195.00 / Hour
Even stable long-term relationships have a dynamic quality, as the people who are in them are always evolving. There can come a time where the partners in any relationship recognize the need to involve a therapist in their conversations in order to communicate with clarity and fresh honesty. I have an accepting and non-judgmental approach, and work with people in relationships of all kinds. I find that people in relationships where communication feels challenging are often looking to be heard and validated. This is important and I want to care for all involved, but my role goes beyond simply making you feel that your perspective has been given the space it deserves. I invite partners to slow down so they can connect more fully with what they feel, and what they really want to say. Ideally, each person involved becomes more open and willing to consider other points of view. From that more grounded place we can then explore how you can communicate with one another with care and respect as you make choices regarding your next steps.
