How do I pay for therapy? Do you do direct billing?

Preferred payment is by e-transfer and due prior to your appointment time. Direct payment by credit card is also available through Jane (my online booking system).

Many extended medical programs will cover a portion of your visit to a registered social worker (RSW). I am not able to bill directly, but I will always provide you with a receipt after each session showing your payment. My BCCSW registration number is #15187.

Do you have a sliding scale?

I am committed to justice and accessibility and have a limited number of sliding scale spots in my schedule at a reduced rate. Priority is given to those facing structural barriers to accessing services, including sole parents and disabled and low income BIPOC and LGBTQ2S+ folks. Please let me know if you have financial need and we can discuss options for payment. I find this page helpful for explaining my justice-based approach to sliding scale.

What is your cancellation policy?

I understand that life happens and we can’t always predict when we may have to change or cancel an appointment. I do ask that you give 48 hours notice if you need to cancel or reschedule, as I often book up several weeks in advance and it is very difficult to fill an opening within that window. I will do my best to accommodate any changes however with the exception of unexpected illness or emergency, the full fee for your session may apply in the case of no shows or late cancellations.

Where are you located? Do you see clients in person?

I am available for in person sessions at my office in the Queer Care Collective,  located at 888 Fort Street in “Victoria, BC”.

I also offer virtual sessions anywhere in the province of BC. Unfortunately I am not able to see clients located outside of the province.
