... navigating relationships
You don't get to choose your family, but you do get to choose how how they’re allowed to treat you.

Individual Counselling Session
$175.00- 50 minutes
I offer phone or video sessions depending on your preference.
With each session you can process and find new depth and meaning in your experiences, thoughts, and feelings. The goal is to improve your understanding and resilience. I will help you to develop new skills that may be general in nature or specific to your problem.
The frequency and total number of sessions will depend on your needs. The nature of the problem(s) you are navigating and your objectives for therapy will be considered. The number of sessions usually ranges from 5 to 20 for most clients – there is no set minimum or maximum.
It is my goal to help get you healthy, happy, and functioning as quickly as possible. This may take more or less time depending on you and your circumstances.
Please contact me if fees are a barrier to you accessing counselling. I am able to offer a sliding scale rate to a limited number of clients each year.
