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 personal 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.
Insurance
Some insurance companies will cover services offered by a Registered Psychotherapist. Please check your plan carefully. Please note that non-reimbursed psychotherapy expenses may be claimed on your income tax. Services are not covered by OHIP.
