Below are some of the most common questions I get asked about working together.

I offer virtual sessions exclusively, and for good reason. Many people find that this format offers a level of comfort and convenience that in-person meetings simply can’t match. Personally, I’ve found virtual sessions to be more effective than traditional face-to-face interactions. One of the key advantages is the ability to minimize distractions—something that’s often unavoidable in a busy counselling office environment.

Virtual meetings allow for a more controlled, serene environment, enabling a deeper focus on the work at hand. With fewer external variables to manage and a setting that’s easier to control, the overall experience tends to be more focused and productive, benefiting both me and my clients.

Please note I can only work with you if you are in the province of BC.

I offer sessions on select days throughout the week, subject to scheduling availability.

Understanding the unique nature of EMDR work, I make it a priority to be as flexible as possible, ensuring that we can start when it’s most convenient for you. If you’re seeking a quick turnaround, I’ll work to secure a spot for you as soon as possible.

I do not directly bill third-party providers. Clients are required to pay upfront at the agreed-upon time, after which an electronic receipt will be issued for submission to your third-party provider for reimbursement.

For more specific information about your plan, I recommend contacting your third-party payer and speaking with a representative. Here are some helpful questions to ask:

• Does my plan cover online therapy (telehealth, telemental health, or teletherapy)? • What is the reimbursement rate or dollar amount for psychotherapy services? • What documentation will I need to submit in order to receive reimbursement for psychotherapy?

If you have any questions or are uncertain about this process, feel free to ask during your consultation, and I’d be happy to assist further.

Weekly EMDR:

My standard fee for weekly EMDR/Couples sessions is $250, with adjustments made for longer sessions.

Intensive EMDR:

Intensive sessions are a fast-paced, premium service that requires more work, energy, and scheduling flexibility, which is reflected in a higher fee. These sessions also provide increased value for clients due to the focused nature and depth of the work, generally leading to fewer hours spent in treatment compared to the standard weekly format.

The fee for an intensive session is $350/hour. A 50% non-refundable deposit is required within 48 hours from the time your sessions are offered to secure your spot. After 48 hours, your space may be released to other clients. The remaining 50% balance is due two weeks before the intensive session.

I accept Visa, Mastercard, and electronic transfers. To ensure ease for your records, official electronic receipts are provided for all sessions, detailing the services rendered. If you require any additional documentation for reimbursement or personal tracking, feel free to let me know.

When you schedule an appointment, that time is reserved exclusively for you.

Weekly Sessions:

If you need to reschedule a weekly session, please provide as much notice as possible and at least 48 hours' notice to avoid being charged the full session fee. In the case of an unavoidable conflict or emergency, we can discuss options to avoid the cancellation fee.

Intensive Sessions:

To honour our scheduling commitments, I have a 2-week cancellation policy. I adjust my schedule to accommodate your session, so it’s important that you keep your appointment and remain committed to the process.

If you need to cancel, a full refund will be issued if notice is provided at least 2 weeks prior to the start of your session.

While I understand that some individuals may prefer a consultation before committing to booking a session, I do not offer this as a separate service.

If you choose to schedule an initial session, I’m happy to address any questions or concerns you may have at that time.

The duration of therapy depends on several factors, including your schedule, my availability, the nature and intensity of your challenges, and your level of engagement in the process between sessions.

Most clients progress quickly and complete their work within 12-16 weeks or within the 3-day intensive model, while others may choose to continue exploring and addressing additional concerns with EMDR.

My goal is to help you achieve your goals as efficiently as possible.

Currently, my practice is centered around providing therapy. While I do conduct assessments, these are specifically for my therapy clients to help guide and tailor treatment. If you're interested in learning more about my approach to treating mental health conditions, we can schedule an initial session to discuss how I can support you.
