Insurance coverage is available for many types of benefit plans. It is strongly recommended that a person review the therapist’s credentials and qualifications in order to discover the potential for coverage through an insurance plan. Tax deductions may be available for certain people. Please note that right now I am able to direct bill Sunlife and also additional insurances through the Telus e-claims network, such as Canada Life, Manulife, Equitable, and others.

Please contact me at least 24 hours in advance of your scheduled appointment to cancel or change your appointment. Please note that failing to attend the session (no-show) or cancellations within 24 hours of the scheduled appointment will result in charges amounting to the entire cost of the session. If the absence or late cancellation was unavoidable and beyond your control this will be taken into consideration. *Cancelling via a phone call or email is preferred **COVID-19 exceptions: cancellation policy will be waived if you are experiencing any symptoms at the time of the cancellation. Please do not attend an in-person session if you are experiencing any COVID symptoms. Advance notice is appreciated.
