Everything you need to know before you book: fees, insurance, availability and what to expect.

Hi and welcome!

Insurance: Many extended health plans cover sessions with a Registered Social Worker. Check your plan for social work coverage.
-
Availability: Morning, afternoon and evening appointments. Space for new clients is limited, so check my calendar for current openings.
How it works
​
-
01: Book a free 10-minute video consult. Tell me what’s bringing you in, ask me anything about how I work, and we’ll see whether we’re a good fit. It’s as much for you to get a feel for me as it is for me to understand what you need.
​
-
02: Your first 1-2 sessions. I value getting to know you- the important parts of your life, exploring what you’re carrying and what you want to change. I will ask questions to guide the conversation.
​
-
03: Ongoing sessions. My clients usually begin with weekly sessions. Once they begin to notice things shifting most will begin to taper sessions out, maybe meeting every other week, once a month or check- ins as needed. Just like working with a physiotherapist for an injured body part, you are going to see faster results when you meet consistently and often.
