Counselling rates
I offer a tiered fee structure for individual counselling because financial circumstances are different for everyone. All clients receive the same care, time, and attention regardless of the fee they pay. I invite you to choose the rate that best reflects your current financial circumstances. We can revisit your fee if your circumstances change. Please find below the explanation of the three options available.
Extended Benefits
As a Canadian Certified Counsellor (CCC), most extended health care benefits plans will cover the cost of the sessions, please check with your provider. An official receipt will be provided to submit for reimbursement. I offer direct billing for Pacific Blue Cross, Manulife and Telus Health.
Crime Victim Assistance Program (CVAP):I am a registered with CVAP. To confirm eligibility for financial assistance from CVAP or for more information, please visit the BC Crime Victim Assistance Program Website.
First Nations Health Authority (FNHA) :I am a registered Service provider for FNHA, through three programs:
-
Mental Wellness and Counselling (MW&C)

The Indian Residential School Resolution Health Support Program (IRS RHSP)
-
The Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women and Girls Health Support Services (MMIWG HSS)
Please call the FNHA Health Benefits line at 1-855-550-5454 to learn more about exceptional coverage.
I am also an approved and registered Service Provider with Autism Canada’s Community Assistance Program (CAP)
Supported Rate
Individual: $135 Couples:$170
For those for whom the regular fee would create financial strain. This may include people with limited or unpredictable income, significant caregiving or financial responsibilities, or little access to savings or other financial support.
Standard Rate
Individual:$160 Couples:$180
This is the regular fee for therapy and reflects the cost of providing a sustainable, experienced clinical practice. This rate may be a good fit if you are generally able to meet your needs while having some flexibility for non-essential expenses.
Pay-It-Forward Rate
Individual: $180 Couples: $200
If you have greater financial flexibility, choosing this rate helps support the availability of reduced-fee spaces for others in the community.
