Registered Counselling Therapist, Registered Professional Counsellor

Please note: As of April 13, 2024 I am only accepting professional-to-professional referrals (e.g., Doctors NS PSP, other counsellors, or individuals working in healthcare, veterinary medicine, or dentistry).

Counselling

Client-focused counselling conveniently located in Bedford, Nova Scotia. Special interests in depression, life challenges, men’s issues, and more. Virtual and in-person appointments are available. Counselling available for healthcare professionals.

My Approach

I work from a goal-oriented approach to help you achieve your personal goals and live a healthier life; this is why one of the first questions I ask is ‘What are you hoping to get out of therapy?’. It gives us a destination to work toward. I believe that counselling is a team effort; it is you and I against the problem as a team, you’re not alone.

Fees and Insurance

Counselling is $110.00 per therapy hour (55 minutes in-session, 5 minutes for notes and file maintenance). You can pay by cash or e-transfer (e-transfer only for virtual clients).

After each appointment you will receive a digital receipt to submit to your insurance company for reimbursement. We do not do direct billing.
To lean more about fees, see informed consent.

Confidentiality

Everything we talk about is confidential and private*. Without your written consent, I cannot disclose any information about you or your therapy, including to parents, partners, and employer. There are a few limits to confidentiality as required by law, which you can read about in the informed consent page.
