Our first session together is a 90-minute intake session. This gives us more time to explore what brings you to counselling, discuss relevant history and context, and begin identifying what you would like to focus on in our work together.
After the initial intake, sessions are available in either 60- or 90-minute formats.

I value the time reserved for each client. If you need to cancel or reschedule an appointment, please provide at least 24 hours' notice whenever possible. Appointments cancelled with less than 24 hours' notice, as well as missed appointments, may be subject to the full session fee. Circumstances such as illness, emergencies, and other unexpected situations will be considered on a case-by-case basis.
If I have to cancel or change your session with less than 24 hours notice, you will get your next session free.
