Special Notice: Counselling Sessions Going On line or By Phone

Due to the Covid 19 outbreak recommendations, as of March 17, 2020, I will be providing regular counselling services either by phone or on line via Zoom video conferencing. All in-person appointments are now cancelled until further notice. Stay safe, and I look forward to resuming our in-person sessions as soon as possible.
