Individual Psychology Sessions for Adults
There are a lot of words which are often used interchangeably that might describe the individual work I do with clients - therapy, psychotherapy, and counselling to name a few. Whatever you choose to call it, I see adult clients in Alberta for individual psychology sessions either virtually or by walk & talk if the client is local to Fort Saskatchewan and chooses this option.

Gaining continued knowledge in the field is very important to me. I am currently working towards my Doctor of Psychology as well as regularly engage in ongoing training, workshops, consultation, and reading. As a result, I am knowledgeable in numerous interventions, so that my clients can always be in the driver’s seat and my approach can be tailored to meet their needs and strengths. If it turns out that the services you need are outside of my areas of expertise or that we are not a good fit in working together, I'll be happy to provide you with a referral to some options that might better meet your needs.
Fees & Appointments
My current rate is $200/50-minute session. I offer primarily evening appointments on mostly weekdays. I am exclusively offering virtual or walk and talk services for the foreseeable future. If you are uncertain about virtual therapy, you can read more here. If you are interested in walk and talk sessions, you can check that out here.
Every client is entitled to one free 15-minute phone consultation prior to booking an intake appointment if they would like.
As I am registered with the College of Alberta Psychologists, if you have a benefits plan you should be able to claim your sessions under that, but it's important that you double check to be sure. I offer direct billing for plans that allow direct billing for psychology services - not all do so double check with your benefits provider(s) prior to our first session.
Unfortunately, psychology services are not publicly funded at this time which means seeing a psychologist can be expensive. If paying for sessions at a private practice is not accessible to you at this time, click here for a list of community resources which may be of help.
