A: Yes, I am covered by many Extended Heath and Employee Assistance Plans. Each one is unique as to who they will accept for payment. Some will only accept a registered Psychologist. I am a Registered Clinical Counsellor.

A: Most people comment that their experience with me is a positive one and much better then they anticipated. They comment that I 'm easy to talk with.You can expect a comfortable, private and respectful atmosphere. Many feel a huge sense of relief after their first session.
Q: How many sessions will I need?
A: Sorry can't answer that one! This will depend on many factors. But one thing for sure, you will be totally in charge of how much time, money and energy you want to invest to improve your situation.
