What is your availability and how do I book?

I will be taking sessions in my new space starting in October 2025. I am available Mondays, Wednesdays, and every other Friday. I offer daytime and evening sessions.

What are your rates?

Rates are $220 for 50-minute sessions and $330 for 75-minute sessions. This is below the fee recommended by the Psychologists’ Association of Alberta.

I strive to make counselling accessible. If the cost of sessions is preventing you from coming in, please reach out.

Where are you located and where do I park?

I am part of the AVA Psychology Group located at:
Suite 130, 4520 - 16 Ave NW, Calgary AB

Parking options at our office include:

Four visitor parking spaces in the surface lot of the building (one is strictly reserved for AVA Psychology Group clients). Register your license plate to receive 2 hours of free parking.

One handicapped parking space near the front door of the building.

Free 2-hour street parking along Monterey Avenue NW.

Paid parking ($4 per hour) in the HPark pay lot at 44th Street NW, where there is a lighted pedestrian walkway across 16th Avenue.

Calgary Transit (bus route #40) also stops directly outside the building.

What can I expect in our first session?

Our first session is all about getting to know each other. I’ll ask you about what brought you in, what you’re hoping for, and any relevant background. You can ask me anything too — this is your time. My goal is to create a space where you feel safe, understood, and like you can breathe a little easier.

Do you offer virtual sessions?

Yes! I offer both in-person and virtual sessions, depending on what works best for you. Some people prefer the structure of coming into the office, and others feel more comfortable meeting from home. We can talk about what fits your life.

How long are sessions, and how often will we meet?

Sessions are typically 50 minutes. Most clients start with bi-weekly or monthly sessions, but we’ll figure out a rhythm that feels supportive and sustainable for you. My clients will tell you that I think every 3 weeks is the “sweet spot” for most people, but it’s really up to you.

What kinds of issues do you work with?

I work with teens (12+), adults, and families dealing with a wide range of things — trauma, stress, suicidal thoughts, self-harm, identity and self-exploration, relationships, life transitions, and more.

I also work with first responders, frontline workers, former military, and justice-involved individuals. If you’re not sure if I’m the right fit, reach out — I’ll be honest with you.

Do you work with parents of teens or young adults?

Yes. Supporting parents in understanding and connecting with their kids — especially when things feel tense, scary, or uncertain — is a big part of the work I do.

Do you direct bill insurance?

I offer direct billing through some insurance providers.

Please reach out with any questions specific to you and your policy.

What’s your cancellation policy?

I ask for 24 hours' notice if you need to cancel or reschedule. Late cancellations or no-shows are subject to the full session fee and are not covered by insurance.

I understand that life happens though, so let me know as soon as you can and we will figure it out.

Do I need a diagnosis or referral to work with you?

Nope. You don’t need a referral or a formal diagnosis to start therapy. You just need to be ready (or even kind of ready) to talk.

What if I’ve had a bad experience in therapy before?

That’s real, and I won’t minimize it. Finding the right fit matters. If you’re feeling hesitant, we’ll go at your pace. If I’m not the right fit I will do my best to connect you with someone who is.
