Psychological Counselling Services for Individual Adults
Counselling is offered through calm, supportive dialogue. I work at your pace, leaving space for you to reflect and respond. I practice an eclectic approach drawing from several modalities depending on your needs and preferences. We can focus on past issues, present concerns, or future aspirations. Sometimes clients know exactly what their goals are and others are not sure what brings them in. Either way, you are welcome, your story is valuable, and I'm here to listen. If you'd like to learn more about the specific therapeutic approaches I use, please click here.

Confidentiality
In all cases, what we discuss remains confidential with the following legal and ethical exceptions:
Further info: Psychologists are required to write case notes for each session and maintain client files for a period of ten years, after which time they are confidentially destroyed. Services are provided with clients' consent, but clients may cancel services or request a referral at any time. As part of quality assurance, it is common practice for therapists to participate in clinical consultation with other health professionals. For this purpose, I may engage in consultation to ensure you get the best care. However, in this situation no identifying information is shared unless you provide consent.
- During my registration process as a provisional psychologist, one or both of my supervisors will have access to my client files to ensure I am providing the best service possible;

- If I believe a child is in need of protection;
- If your clinical record is subpoenaed by a court of law (in Yukon, this includes Yukon Workers' Compensation Health & Safety Board and the Office of the Public Guardian & Trustee);
- If you disclose you have experienced harm by another health professional;
- If a complaint is made about me to the College of Alberta Psychologists and an investigation is initiated, then other registered psychologists, who are also bound by laws and ethics around confidentiality, may also have access to my files;
- You request or consent to information being released to you or a third party; and/or

Fees*
Sessions are $140 including GST per clinical hour (50 minutes) and payment is required at the time of each session. I currently accept major credit cards, debit, and cash, and I will issue a receipt for each payment. Some third-party billing options and employee assistance plans (EAPs) are also available. Alternatively, a portion of psychological services is often covered by extended benefits, but it's important to contact your provider in advance to determine coverage as this varies between plans.
* Cancellation Policy: I reserve time and prepare for your session. Missed appointments and cancellations with less than 24 hours notice will be charged at a rate of 50%.
