There is no charge for appointments cancelled with at least 24 hours’ notice. Cancellations made within 24 hours or missed appointments (no-shows) are subject to the full session fee. However, I understand that unexpected things happen, and each client receives one free late cancellation or no-show per year.

At this time, I offer in-person appointments on Fridays in Abbotsford and hope to add another day soon. Beginning in 2026, I’ll also be offering in-person appointments in Agassiz on Tuesdays.

In a free consultation with me, I typically share a bit about myself and how I work as a therapist, so you can get a sense of my approach and whether it feels like a good fit. I also like to hear what’s bringing you to counselling and explore a bit of the “why” behind it — without needing to go into your full story just yet. The consultation is really a chance for us both to get a feel for whether working together would be supportive and aligned with your needs.

This varies for each person. Many people start with weekly sessions and then move to bi-weekly or monthly as progress continues. We’ll discuss what feels right for your goals and schedule.

Yes, I offer virtual appointments for clients who prefer or need to meet online. My online schedule is Thursdays, but I can be flexible to meet on my “in person” days if that fits your schedule better.

Yes, confidentiality is a core part of therapy. The only exceptions are situations where there’s a risk of harm to yourself or others, or when required by law (for example, cases of child abuse or a court order).

It depends on the nature of our previous relationship. Ethical guidelines require therapists to maintain clear professional boundaries, which means I can’t provide counselling if we’ve had a close personal relationship. However, if I supported you in a professional doula capacity, we can explore whether therapy together would be appropriate. In some cases, it may be possible after a certain amount of time has passed, or I may help you connect with another therapist who would be a better fit.
