Some people come weekly, others every other week, and some once a month. I will work with you to decide on what frequency will work best for your needs, concerns and capacity.

I charge $160 per 50-minute session, with no tax. I also offer a limited number of sliding-scale spots for BIPOC clients.

I contract with VICCIR, which supports anyone born outside Canada through a sliding-scale model. Self-refer here.

I am also an approved FNHA provider; eligible clients are covered through the Mental Wellness & Counselling benefit and billed directly.

If you have access to benefits through your employer you may be eligible for reimbursement. Check to see if your benefits plan covers Registered Clinical Social Workers. You will receive a receipt that can be submitted to your benefits provider for reimbursement.

I contract with the Vancouver Island Counselling Centre for Immigrants and Refugees (VICCIR). If you qualify, your sessions may be fully or partially covered.

I am an approved service provider with the First Nations Health Authority (FNHA). If you qualify, your sessions will be fully covered.

I kindly ask for 24 hours notice to reschedule or cancel a session (barring any emergency). In the event less than 24 hours notice is given, or for missed appointments, you will be charged for your full session.

The information you share with me is confidential, which means that it is my ethical and legal duty to protect your information and privacy and to share information only if given permission to do so.

There are some limits to confidentiality, which include:

• If you tell me a child or youth is being abused or neglected
• If you tell me you have an immediate plan to end your life or the life of someone else
• If you are involved in a court case and the judge orders me to release your file or information in it

If you have questions regarding limits of confidentiality, we can discuss this in more detail during our first session.
