First Step:
I offer a complimentary 20-30 minute phone consultation. In the course of this conversation, I will be asking you to describe your concern (s). I encourage you to ask any questions you may have regarding the counselling process. You may text me at 778-788-2105 now to book your phone consultation based on availability.
Talking to a stranger about your hurts, fears, and hopes for yourself can seem a little intimidating. I am dedicated to providing a compassionate listening space while providing direction when needed. In the first session, I want to hear about your struggles and what you hope to achieve through counselling. We will begin to explore the inner and outer resources you can activate in service to your goals. At our first session, we will also go over informed consent. In addition, I suggest completing the initial intake form if you find that it would be helpful. Please see the forms below.
Third Step:
As you evolve in the counselling process I encourage you to practice compassion. Changing your relationship to the problem in your life can be challenging even when it is rewarding. Acknowledge baby steps! Ask me questions. Notice what resources help you manage/cope/move through anxiety, fear, stress with greater ease.
