Virtual/Video Appointments​

You can access my services from the comfort of your own home or office or even on the go, via most computer or mobile devices with a stable internet connection. The video consultations are powered by OnCall Health, a Canadian company that is committed to complete privacy between healthcare providers and their clients. 

Distance Therapy is the use of technology to meet therapeutic needs of clients in a location different from the mental health professional. Telehealth research reports video sessions can save you time and reduce barriers to attending sessions. Busy professionals can access counselling during non-working hours with more ease. 

Certificate Completed in Telehealth for Mental Health Professionals (Pesi; 2020)
