Privacy and Confidentiality

Your privacy is very important to me. Your information will not be shared with anyone without your consent except when I am required by law to do so. My full confidentiality policy will be provided at our initial consultation.

While I do make use of email for booking appointments, please keep in mind that email is not completely secure; therefore, please do not include sensitive information in an email.

Please also note that I do not accept requests on social media (e.g. FaceBook, LinkedIn) from past or current clients as I believe that it compromises your privacy.

Employee / Student / Congregational Assistance

Some employers and schools offer employee/student assistance programs which cover short-term counselling. I am an affiliate provider with Aspiria and HumanaCare. I also provide counselling for the Congregational Assistance Plan (CAP), Student Assistant Plan and Clergy Care programs offered through Shalem Mental Health Network.
