The decision to begin therapy and find the right therapist can be overwhelming and confusing. That is why I offer a free, no obligation, over the phone consultation.
During our initial consultation, I may ask you to tell me about yourself and what has driven you to seek therapy, as well as what you hope to achieve. This initial conversation will also provide you with the opportunity to ask me any questions about the therapy process and get a feel for whether my scope of practice and approach will work for you.

I offer competitive rates that fall within the Ontario College of Social Workers and Social Service Workers fee guidelines. During the initial consultation, we will collaboratively agree on the fee and set a date for the first therapy session. Fees can be paid by cheque or cash, or if arranged prior to the session, by e-transfer. Please contact me for specific details.

The majority of extended health benefits / insurance programs provide coverage for psychotherapy services by regulated health professionals (I am a Registered Social Worker which is a regulated health profession). I encourage you to speak directly with your insurance provider to obtain more details. A receipt for submission to your insurance provider is issued upon payment.

I offer individual sessions that are 55 minutes in length
At least 48 hours notice for appointment cancellation is required. Sessions not cancelled 48 hours in advance will be charged the full fee
Your confidentiality is important to me. Information you share with me will not be communicated, directly or indirectly, to anyone without your informed and written consent.
"Duty to Report" legislation exists for all regulated health professionals to contact appropriate authorities should you disclose an intention to harm yourself or others
Communication via e-mail is not completely secure or confidential, and should only be used for inquires or scheduling appointments
