Emergency Assistance

Please note that my services are not intended for emergencies.

Canadian crisis line: Call or text 988 any time if somebody is in emotional crisis.

Hello! Thanks so much for connecting with me on your journey of personal growth and healing.

To provide the best care possible for my existing and new clients, I have started a small waitlist for new therapy clients. Here is the process for starting therapy together:

Please complete this Therapy Waitlist Request form.
I'll email you to confirm your request and let you know if my services are likely a good fit for your needs.
When a space becomes available, I will reach out to each person, one at a time, in order of the list. I'll ask you to let me know within 24 hours if you'd like to take the space and get started together.

Estimated wait time: Currently 3 weeks to 2 months. Please note that wait times are hard to predict. A space may become available much sooner. If the wait time unfortunately becomes much longer, I will let you know.

Availability: I currently offer therapy on Monday mornings and early afternoons, in-person in Victoria or virtually from anywhere in BC.

When you should not wait for support: If you are dealing with highly stressful or traumatic events, are suffering with severe distress, are having immense difficulty functioning in daily life, or are struggling with time-sensitive mental health concerns (e.g., mania, psychosis, suicidal thoughts, self-harm, severe depression, severe post-traumatic stress), I urge you to seek more immediate support from another professional. The British Columbia Psychological Association is a great resource for finding a psychologist: https://psychologists.bc.ca/find-psychologist. If you're having trouble finding somebody, please reach out to me via this form and ask me to try to gather referrals for other professionals or resources for you. I'll do my best to help.

Your privacy is important to me. This secure form protects your personal and health information in accordance with privacy laws in British Columbia, Canada.
