Counselling is a place where you come to discuss issues that have been impacting your life. We will collaborate together and use your strengths to develop a detailed plan to create positive change!

I work with very diverse people suffering from a range of issues. Some common examples include:

• Male Specific Counselling
• Burn Out
• High Stress Professionals
• High Performance Issues
• Imposter Syndrome and Motivation Issues
• Family and Relationship Issues
• Communication Issues
• ADHD and Autism
• Academic or Career Transitions
• Self Confidence
• Anxiety and Depression

If you do not see your specific issue here please contact me to discuss if I have experience and would be a good fit for your needs.

If you contact me I will respond to you as quickly as possible and arrange a mutually agreeable time to have a phone conversation. During the phone conversation, I will assess your needs and strengths. We will discuss your goals to support the development of a treatment plan.

This phone conversation is also a good chance or you see if you think we would be a good fit to work together and ask any questions you may be curious about.

If we both decide that the fit is a good one sessions would start typically within 2-4 weeks depending on my volume. Sessions take place Online using OWL Practice which is a Secure Video Platform or via phone if you prefer.

If you find yourself in a crisis situation where you are concerned about your safety please contact 911 immediately or attend your nearest hospital right away.

I will always make the best possible effort to ensure that you have access to the best possible professional for your specific issue. If I genuinely feel I am able to help you in a meaningful way I will. However, if your issue is beyond my scope of practice I will refer you to another professional whom I know will be better able to meet your needs.

I always keep everything we talk about completely confidential. The only limitation is if there are safety concerns where I feel that your safety or another person's safety are at risk.

OHIP does not cover counselling and psychotherapy at this time.

However, many Extended Health Care plans DO cover service from a Registered Social Worker. It is your responsibility to contact your insurance provider and inquire about their requirements for your coverage.

I will write you an Invoice that you can submit to your insurance provider for reimbursement.

I will perform a 360 degree assessment to get to know you personally. I will get an in depth understanding of your background, history and motivation for your specific work environment. Furthermore we will set goals together and verify what core skills are required to achieve your goals. We will also agree upon assignments to complete between sessions in order to advance progress consistently throughout our time working together. We will take a deep dive into your personal strengths and weaknesses. Finally, we will evaluate your progress on an ongoing basis and ensure that you finish your sessions with sustainable takeaways that will last a lifetime. Your newly developed skills will continue to serve your professional needs and goals well beyond the end date of our sessions together.
