Your participation:

Working with you on your personal growth goals is meant to be a collaborative process, that means that you and I work together to figure out what needs to happen to move forward with your wellness.  We will meet, complete an intake process and explore your identified goals. We will talk, problem solve, and of course – homework!  Growth requires your participation and effort.  By writing things down, trying things out, making changes and personal practice - you will be amazed at what you will see for yourself as result of your hard work and commitment.

Confidentiality:

  The information that we discuss is confidential, it would be shared only with your written consent (a form would need to be completed). It is important that you are aware that I would be required by law to release information/report when a client poses a risk of harm to themselves or others and in cases of abuse to children, vulnerable adults or the elderly.  If I receive a court order or subpoena, I may be required to release some information. In such cases, I consult with the British Columbia College of Social Work and limit the release to only what is necessary by law.

Fees: The fees per session will be $120.00/60 min session.  Together, we will set the number of in person sessions based on your goals and progress. Private counselling services are NOT covered by BC Medical (Care Card).
