Nothing you need to prepare for. Just come as you are.
You reach out
A short message or call, nothing more. I’ll ask a little about what brought you here and answer any questions — no commitment, no pressure.
We get to know each other
Less an interview than a conversation. You talk about what matters to you; I listen closely and we start to sense whether this feels like a good fit.
We find a rhythm together
Weekly, biweekly, whatever suits your life. The pace and direction are shaped around you — this is your process, not a program you’re put through.
If you’re hesitating, that’s alright too.
You don’t need the right words. You don’t need to know what’s wrong. You just need to show up.
Some weeks we’ll go deep. Other weeks we’ll just talk. Both are part of the work.
This is a space without judgment — whatever you bring in, I want to understand it, not fix it out of you.
A few things worth knowing up front
Confidential
What’s said between us stays between us, with the rare legal exceptions I’ll explain plainly before we begin.
In person or online
Sessions are available in my Revelstoke office or by secure video, whichever feels more comfortable for you.
Sessions
50 minutes, typically weekly to start. We’ll revisit the frequency together as things settle.
Cost
$165 per 50-minute session, with a limited number of Pay What You Can spots. More about costs
Send a message. That’s the whole first step.
No forms to fill out, no diagnosis required. Just a note to say you’re thinking about it — I’ll take it from there.
