The process of therapy helps people step back, and look at things through the lens of an objective observer. In this way, individuals start to see strengths within themselves. As they see these strengths, with a therapist's help, people begin to make gradual changes in their lives. Adults, adolescents, & children see me in my practice in downtown Toronto for individual, couples, and family counseling. Their problems include anxiety, stress, depression, parent-child conflict, marital distress, trauma, and grief & bereavement.

My approach to counselling is attachment based and trauma informed. I have extensive training in Emotionally-Focused Therapy, the gold standard in couple's therapy, which I apply in my work with couples, families, and individuals. During our sessions I take an engaged and active role in the process, focused on helping you to identify the areas where you may be stuck and working with you to make changes aligned with your goals.

I work with you as a Psychotherapist to help develop an understanding of your situation and develop a plan to address any roadblocks that you face in meeting your goals.

Therapy outcomes to include developing a positive sense of self, feeling in control of your thoughts and actions and replacing negative thinking with positive thoughts.

Psychotherapy has been with humankind since our origins. However, about a century ago, psychologists tried to systematize and formalize psychotherapeutic interventions and, depending on their worldview and perspectives on human nature, they created various approaches that currently exceed 400, which can be confusing and misleading. A successful psychotherapy, regardless of the lenses and title, should acknowledge that every person has a unique mind and, as a result, a unique mental world. The therapist’s job is to help the client explore this world in a supportive environment. Schedule a free 15-minute consultation to see if we are a good fit.

Psychotherapy with me takes a very holistic journey. We will examine all aspects of your life; mental, physical, spiritual, emotional, as well as your interactions with your family, friends, co-workers, community and culture. All of these pieces come together to complete the mosaic that is you. By looking at all of the pieces, we will begin to better understand why you think, act and feel the way that you do. We will uncover patterns of behaviour and that will help you to create new patterns and habits.

I practice in the Anti-Oppression, Anti-Racism Framework with a strength-based focus and through trauma-informed lens.

You can work through your life issues! Psychotherapy is different from counseling. Counseling is working with current life issues and discussing them, processing emotions, and creating action plans to improve issues. Psychotherapy is deeper healing work where we explore how your current life in various areas has potentially been impacted by your early life and your life until now, and the beliefs and schemas that you formulated through those. We work with both the past and present simultaneously to heel wounds that occurred, big or small, and how to transform those into shifted behavior in the now. We will work with your thoughts, your emotions, and your behaviors in a manner that is unique.

Therapy with me provides a safe and supportive environment for you to explore your thoughts, feelings, and experiences. You will gain insight into some of the root causes of concerns you have, but more than that, because I work relationally, I will sit with you in the discomfort of whatever you are going through, so that you aren't alone in what you feel. By providing a safe space for emotional expression and validation, our sessions will help you to release pent-up emotions, resolve unresolved issues, and build resilience in the face of adversity.

A psychodynamic approach to counselling focuses on patterns of relationship, often helpful in understanding how early experiences might be affecting you in the present. Especially helpful for untangling ‘baggage’ which may be holding you back in your current relationships and attitudes to others. Understanding how your current attitudes and ways of interacting with others are caught up in old hurts can free you to choose more constructive ways forward.

A psychotherapist is a regulated professional (in ON) who can help people understand and change their thoughts, emotions, and behaviours.

However, there are many factors to successful therapy – the therapeutic relationship being the most important.

I use several research-based theories for individual counseling CBT, DBT & ACT. These theories provide practical skills that can help you gain a better understanding of yourself. By reframing thoughts, feelings, and behaviors, we can reduce emotional suffering. In my work as a mental health nurse, I have had the privilege of working with many people struggling with difficult situations and trauma. My approach is to be present, empathetic, and to understand the clients’ prospective. Relationships take hard work and commitment. Giving each person a place to voice their side of the story and be heard by their partner can often iron out the wrinkles in a relationship & help couples reconnect.

Gestalt psychotherapy with me offers a radical focus on your here-and-now present moment experience. This focus invites you to build awareness around your moment-to-moment experience of yourself in the therapy session, so that you can be more present to your sensations and emotions in more high-stakes dynamics, i.e.: in conflict with a loved one or navigating a stressful situation.

Psychotherapy is the use of psychological methods to help a person change behavior and overcome problems in a positive manner.

Within my virtual psychotherapy practice I utilize a short-term, solution-focused approach to meet your needs. I understand that psychotherapy is a commitment of both time, energy, and financial resources. Many of us are limited by our insurance coverage for frequency and length of therapy. My intend is to use this reality as a strength and motivation, and seek to use the evidence-based tools within counselling to achieve your goals on this journey. I ask my clients to commit a minimum of 6-10 sessions to work towards their goals and their preferred future. After this short term work, you may choose to continue to continue your own growth, or are welcome to continue your journey in therapy!

James Hillman once said, "We've had a hundred years of psychotherapy and the world is getting worse." While there are many occasions where the validation and listening endemic to psychotherapy makes sense, there are times where we over assume that "feeling better" and "changing behavior" are the same. Grey Matters International, Inc. goes after the forgotten brain laws to behavior change that therapists miss when processing hours and hours of dialogues with people. Utilizing a cutting edge technology to facilitate the emotional process of change, we can make the therapy process way more effective, faster, and with less money spent.

I view psychotherapy as a way to help gain understanding, clarity and a different perspective. When we adjust or shifting our perspectives, explore our inner resources, and identify our challenges, we start the journey to a more fulfilling life. I believe in collaboration and a nonjudgmental partnership. With the goal to ultimately help clients to define their own version of success, create new patterns of behavior and engage fully in their lives.

I utilize an eclectic and collaborative approach to psychotherapy with my clients, drawing from evidence-based approaches including cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), and narrative therapy. Additionally, I believe strongly in harnessing your own inner strengths and motivations to build sustainable change. One of the primary benefits of psychotherapy, in my opinion, is that it should be a conversation like no other you've had before, creating a non-judgmental space where you can be truly open.
