*** Please note that due to the current Covid-19 pandemic, I am only offering telephone and online sessions for the foreseeable future. ***
I offer individual counselling to children, teens, and adults who are living with various health concerns.
Having lived with Type 1 diabetes for over twenty years, researched the area of psychosocial supports for people with diabetes, and professionally worked in the field of Type 1 diabetes care for several years, I know that it can be hard to find people to talk with about the psychological impact of living with an illness.
Whether you've had an illness for a long time, just been diagnosed, or are in charge of someone else's care, the day-to-day management of a chronic illness can be overwhelming, anxiety-provoking and exhausting. Talking one-on-one with a counsellor, like myself, about such distress can help you regain your footing and get you back on track to achieving your overall goals in health and in life.
Please do not hesitate to get in touch- I provide a free 20 minute telephone consultation where we can address any questions and concerns you may have regarding therapy.

Are you covered?
Unfortunately, counselling costs are currently not covered under the Ontario Health Insurance Plan (OHIP). However, many employee health benefit plans do cover individual therapy sessions with social workers. If you are unsure about what is covered under your plan, check with your benefits provider.
The Ontario Association of Social Workers has developed a short explanation of why counselling provided by a social worker should be covered under private plans, and how you can go about asking your employer or union to extend your benefits to cover such consultations.
