I offer an initial 20-minute consultation call at no charge to discuss my services, learn more about a client’s current concerns and therapy goals and see if I am an appropriate fit for the services they are seeking, and answer any additional questions.
​
Most insurance plans cover Registered Social Worker (RSW) services in Ontario but it’s best to contact your benefits provider in advance to confirm the details of your coverage as amounts of coverage can vary across plans. Please note that services can also be claimed as a medical expense tax deduction on your income tax return. Clients are responsible for all payments. I do not bill insurance companies directly. A receipt will be issued upon receipt of payment which can then be submitted to your insurance provider for reimbursement.
​
I am licensed to practice in Ontario. As such, clients residing outside Ontario are not eligible for my services.
Consultation

I have enjoyed teaching and training graduate Social Work Students over the years. I served as an Adjunct Practice Lecturer for the University of Toronto's Factor -Inwentash Faculty of Social work, providing field supervision to Master of Social Work students and I have served as a field instructor for Master of Social Work students from Laurier University. I have also provided clinical training, clinical supervision, and clinical consultations to Registered Social Workers and other interprofessional health care colleagues and teams over my 18-year career at the Centre for Addiction and Mental Health (CAMH). I enjoy working with both novice and experienced clinicians seeking additional support with their clinical work and professional development.
​
All services are currently being offered virtually through a PHIPA secure video platform.
