How to Work With Me?
I believe in transparency and the importance of knowing what you are getting into before deciding. Therapy is a commitment; it’s an investment. So let’s answer some questions, shall we?

This is person-dependent. However, I always say that therapy is a commitment and that I recommend booking sessions consistently to benefit real change. For most people I work with, they attend sessions weekly or biweekly and gradually shift to monthly sessions if necessary.

Please be advised that, as an independent business owner, I have implemented a 24-hour cancellation policy. Should you require the need to cancel your scheduled appointment, kindly provide a minimum of 24 hours' notice. This allows for the opportunity to offer the appointment slot to individuals on my waitlist.
In the event of a cancellation made within 24 hours prior to your scheduled appointment or a failure to attend ('no show'), the full cost of the appointment will be charged.
I strongly recommend verifying the terms of your insurance coverage, as late cancellations and missed appointments may not fall within the coverage parameters of your plan.
I greatly appreciate your understanding of and compliance with this policy, as it helps in maintaining an organized and efficient practice. If you have any questions or need more clarification, please do not hesitate to reach out.

I always say somatic therapy looks a bit different than traditional talk therapy. It is experiential and involves talking and somatic work. I will offer what’s called ‘experiments’ to assist in the therapy process. In most sessions, there is both talking and somatic work. Our sessions are 50-60 minutes in length.
-
I never want finances to be a barrier to healing. I do offer limited slots for a sliding scale option, please reach out if you would like to discuss this further.
Additionally, I am a therapist for the Breaking Free Foundation which offers grants for people seeking trauma therapy. I welcome you to find the application for a grant here to apply for a grant for therapy. Please don't hesitate to reach out with any questions.
-
At this time, I do have direct billing to most insurance companies. Contact me here with further questions. Please not I do not direct bill to Sunlife Insurance.
-
Yes, most insurance companies cover services by a Registered Social Worker (RSW, MSW). Please review your insurance policy to confirm. You will receive a receipt for reimbursement with the necessary information.

Direct Billing Available
As a Registered Social Worker (#17853) with the Alberta College of Social Workers, my services may be eligible for coverage through your insurance plan. However, it’s important to note the following:
Some insurance providers do not cover services provided by social workers. Please note, that it is your responsibility to verify with your plan what coverage is offered for mental health services, specifically a Registered Social Worker. Please note I will not contact your insurance providers on behalf of you to inquire about coverage. Thank you for your understanding.
My goal is to simplify the billing process so you can focus on your healing journey. If you have questions about direct billing or need assistance, please don’t hesitate to reach out.
