FAQs

I am currently using a room for counselling at Frontline Church in Sylvan Lake, AB. It is located at #5 Beju Industrial Drive, Sylvan Lake AB T4S 2J4, Canada

I accept cash, e-transfer, or credit card. Payment is due at the end of each session.
I never want finances to be a barrier to anyone getting help, so please ask me about a sliding scale if that is needed.

I’ll offer you some tools, and we’ll brainstorm solutions to help you get unstuck and fill you with hope again.
