Services & Rates

My practice brings together counselling, Internal Family Systems (IFS), Brainspotting, and Expressive Arts Therapy. Each approach offers a different way to explore your experiences, understand yourself, and work toward meaningful change.

You don't need to know which approach is right for you before reaching out. Together, we can explore what best supports your needs and goals.

Individual Counselling

60 minutes – $150 | 90 minutes – $190

Individual counselling offers a supportive space to talk, reflect, and explore what is happening in your life. Sessions are tailored to your needs and draw on evidence-based counselling approaches, mindfulness, somatic awareness, and Internal Family Systems (IFS).

IFS, also known as parts work, helps us understand the different aspects of ourselves, including those that criticize, worry, protect, or feel overwhelmed. Rather than trying to silence or change these parts, we approach them with curiosity and compassion, developing a deeper understanding of our inner world.

Counselling sessions are primarily conversational. There is no expectation to engage in art or creative activities.

Available in person in Burnaby or online across Canada.

Child & Youth Therapy

60–90 minutes – $150

I offer individualized therapeutic support for children and teenagers, integrating counselling, expressive arts, clay, play, and developmentally appropriate approaches.

For many children, particularly those who find verbal communication challenging, creative expression provides another way to explore emotions, develop self-awareness, and build connection. Sessions are adapted to each child's interests, abilities, communication style, and developmental needs.

I work with neurodivergent children and youth, including autistic clients, and welcome parent participation when it supports the therapeutic process.

Sessions are designed around a 60-minute appointment, with flexibility to extend up to 90 minutes when needed to support the child's pace, engagement, and transition out of the session.

SelfDesign & Autism Funding

I am an approved SelfDesign learning provider, and families have also accessed my services using BC Autism Funding.

Funding eligibility and reimbursement depend on each family's individual circumstances and program requirements.

Available in person at my Burnaby studio.

Expressive Arts Therapy

Individual: 60 minutes – $150 | 90 minutes – $190
Couples & Duos: Up to 120 minutes – $240

Expressive Arts Therapy offers an opportunity to explore experiences that may be difficult to express through words alone. Drawing on the work of Paolo Knill and Stephen K. Levine, this approach uses creativity, imagination, and artistic expression to support emotional exploration, self-understanding, and personal growth.

Sessions may involve clay, drawing, painting, movement, writing, or other creative processes. Sometimes we work with a particular feeling, memory, or inner part. Other times, we begin with curiosity and allow the creative process to guide our exploration.

This approach can be particularly supportive when navigating grief, trauma, life transitions, emotional overwhelm, or a sense of feeling stuck. It can also help reconnect us with curiosity, flexibility, and new possibilities.

Couples & Duos

Expressive Arts Therapy is also available for couples, parents and children, family members, or other pairs who wish to explore their relationship through a shared creative experience.

Working with clay and other expressive materials can open new ways of communicating, collaborating, understanding one another, and exploring relationship dynamics. Sessions are tailored to the needs of both participants, with space for individual expression and shared reflection.

No artistic experience is necessary. The focus is not on creating something beautiful or technically successful, but on the experience of making, noticing, and discovering.

Sessions take place in my dedicated art and pottery studio in Burnaby, with materials and activities adapted to your needs.

Individual sessions are available for 60 or 90 minutes, while couples and duo sessions allow up to two hours for shared creative exploration and reflection.

Brainspotting Therapy

60 minutes – $150 | 90 minutes – $190

Brainspotting is a focused, body-based therapeutic approach that uses eye position and mindful awareness to support the processing of difficult emotions, experiences, and trauma.

Sometimes, experiences are difficult to access or express through words alone. Brainspotting offers another way to explore these experiences by attending to the connection between our visual field, physical sensations, emotions, and internal responses.

Sessions unfold at your own pace, with attention to your sense of safety and readiness. Brainspotting can be used as a focused therapeutic approach or integrated with other methods, including IFS and counselling.

Available in person in Burnaby or online across Canada.

Mentorship & Professional Consultation

I offer individual mentorship and professional consultation for emerging counsellors, expressive arts therapists, and creative practitioners who are developing their professional identity or establishing an independent practice.

Drawing on my experience in counselling, expressive arts therapy, ceramics, teaching, and creative entrepreneurship, I support practitioners in exploring both the practical and personal aspects of their professional development.

Our conversations may include integrating creative approaches into therapeutic work, developing services, navigating professional transitions, establishing boundaries, and building a practice that reflects your values and strengths.

Mentorship is collaborative and tailored to your individual questions, experience, and professional goals.

Professional mentorship and consultation are distinct from formal clinical supervision and do not fulfill supervision requirements for professional registration.

Please contact me to discuss mentorship and consultation arrangements.
