Frequently Asked Questions

  • Yes, I am currently accepting new clients! If my practice happens to be full when you reach out, I can add you to my waitlist or provide trusted referrals to other local practitioners.

  • Yes, I offer in-person sessions located in Downtown Vancouver, as well as confidential online sessions. My virtual practice is open to clients residing in British Columbia, Alberta, Saskatchewan, Manitoba, Newfoundland and Labrador, Yukon, Northwest Territories, and Nunavut.

  • In-person therapy sessions are located at Greenroom Therapy, located at 580 Hornby Street in downtown Vancouver.

    It is easily accessible by transit via bus, near the Burrard and Granville Skytrain stations, and there is plenty of street and underground parking nearby.

  • I am a Registered Clinical Counsellor (RCC) and Canadian Certified Counsellor (CCC). Most extended health insurance plans in BC cover therapy sessions with RCCs.

    Because every insurance plan is unique, I recommend checking with your provider if they cover counselling/psychotherapy sessions with a Registered Clinical Counsellor (RCC) or Canadian Certified Counsellor (CCC). I will provide you with an official receipt after each session, which you can submit to your insurance company for reimbursement.

  • Yes, I do accept ICBC clients. ICBC provides counselling coverage within the first 12 weeks of an accident.

  • Yes, I reserve a limited number of sliding scale spots in my practice for individuals looking for support but may finances may currently be a barrier.

    Please reach out to me directly to inquire about my current sliding scale availability and rates.

  • I require 48-hours notice for session cancellations or rescheduling. Because that time is reserved exclusively for you, missed appointments or late cancellations will be subject to the full session fee.

    I completely understand that emergencies happen, and I try to be as accommodating as possible when unexpected life events arise.

  • Our first session is an opportunity to get to know one another. We will walk through some basic paperwork, discuss what is bringing you to therapy right now, and explore what goals you want to work toward.

    I wrote a blog post on preparing for your first counselling session. You can read it here.
