FAQs
What services do you offer?
1
I provide individual counselling sessions for adults (19+). Depending on your needs and goals, I offer both short-term and longer-term support. Our work together is tailored to you—whether you’re looking for focused support around a specific concern or a deeper, ongoing space for reflection and growth.
Please note that I offer virtual sessions only at this time.
How do I get started?
2
Getting started is easy! You're welcome to book a complimentary 15-minute Meet & Greet through my online booking system, Jane App, or simply reach out through my website's contact form.
The Meet & Greet is a chance for us to connect, chat a little about what brings you to counselling, ask questions, and see if working together feels like a good fit. No pressure or commitment!
Already feeling ready to get started? That's great, too! You can skip the Meet & Greet and book your first counselling session directly through Jane App, where you can view my availability and choose a time that works best for you.
Whichever way you choose to begin, I'll be happy to guide you through the next steps.
There's no one right way to start. Choose what feels comfortable for you, and we'll take it from there!
What makes you different?

I believe every counsellor brings something unique to their work, and finding someone you feel comfortable with is an essential part of the counselling journey.
What I bring to my work is not only many years of professional experience and training, but also my own life experiences. Having navigated personal challenges, loss, and trauma, I've come to appreciate just how complex life can be, and how much courage it sometimes takes to find our way through difficult times. These experiences have deepened my empathy, sensitivity, and ability to connect with others in a genuine and meaningful way.
At the same time, I recognize that everyone's story is different. My experiences are not yours, and I would never assume to fully understand what you've been through. Instead, they remind me to approach each person with curiosity, humility, compassion, and respect for their unique journey.
My counselling approach is relational, trauma-informed, and flexible, shaped by your needs, experiences, and hopes. I'm also a certified EMDR therapist, with a particular interest in exploring how past experiences can influence the way we see ourselves, navigate relationships, and respond to life's challenges.
I don't believe in one-size-fits-all therapy or having all the answers. I believe meaningful connection grows when we feel genuinely seen, heard, and accepted, without judgment or pressure to be anything other than who we are.
For me, counselling is about creating that kind of space, where we can explore, reflect, and find a way forward together, at your own pace.
What are your fees, and do you offer direct billing?
4
My fee is $160 for a 50-minute individual counselling session.
Open Path Counselling is registered with TELUS Health eClaims, allowing me to submit insurance claims electronically to participating providers, including Manulife, Canada Life, Desjardins, ClaimSecure, Equitable, Beneva, and others.
Direct billing availability depends on your individual insurance plan and whether it covers services provided by a Registered Clinical Counsellor (RCC).
If direct billing is unavailable, I will provide a receipt that you can submit to your insurance provider for potential reimbursement.
Payment Options
For your convenience, I accept:
Direct insurance billing through TELUS Health eClaims, when eligible.
E-transfer
Major credit cards, processed securely through Jane App.
If your insurance covers only part of the session fee, you can pay the remaining balance by e-transfer or credit card.
I recommend checking with your insurance provider beforehand to confirm your coverage for RCC services.
My goal is to make accessing counselling and managing payments as simple and stress-free as possible!
