This page is meant to answer questions about how I work. Please email me with questions not answered below.
-
I work primarily with adults, many of whom would describe themselves as high‑achieving or high‑responsibility—people in leadership roles, demanding professions, or complex family systems—who feel stuck, overwhelmed, or at a crossroads.
-
BCACC and CCPA regulations require that I only provide psychotherapy to BC residents but I offer my coaching services internationally and currently provide telephone- and video-based appointments for clients in the US, Europe, South America, and Asia.
-
Yes. I provide ADHD‑informed care for adults, with attention to both the psychological, emotional and practical realities of living and working with ADHD, especially in demanding environments.
-
I offer individual one-on-one coaching; psychotherapy for individuals, families, and couples.
-
We can explore this together during our initial contact. In general, therapy often focuses more on emotional pain, long‑standing patterns, and mental health concerns, while coaching is oriented toward specific goals and decisions in the present and near future. Many people benefit from a blend.

To book your first appointment please send me an email indicating the type of appointment you’d like to book. I reply to emails on Friday afternoons and will get back to you with my soonest availability. You do not require a referral to schedule an appointment with me. Please note that I am currently running a waiting list.
-
Because I am booked during my workdays, I am unable to find additional time to provide complementary consultations.
-
I require at least 48-hours’ notice to cancel or reschedule an appointment in order to reallocate your appointment to another client. Appointments cancelled or rescheduled without 48-hours’ notification are charged in full. Appointments are in high demand and your early cancellation will give another client the possibility to gain timely access to my services.
-
I do not accept insurance directly. However, I do provide receipts which you can submit to your insurance provider for reimbursement. Please check with your insurance provider to determine if they cover RCC or CCC designations.
-
I am in back-to-back sessions throughout my workday and I'm only able to guarantee emails on Friday afternoons.
-
I am a member in good standing of the British Columbia Association of Clinical Counsellors (BCACC) and the Canadian Counselling and Psychotherapy Association (CCPA). If you are looking for a psychologist or a psychiatrist, please let me know and I’ll do my best to point you in the right direction.
-
Privacy and confidentially are cornerstones of my work. Only under specific parameters – such as substantial clear and imminent danger, current child-abuse, or a court subpoena – am I legally and ethically required to break confidentiality.
-
No. Human life and human change are complex, and no one can guarantee a particular outcome. What I can offer is a thoughtful, respectful, and engaged working relationship, grounded in experience and guided by your needs and values.
