Clients benefit from attending psychotherapy with me because I bring a trauma-informed, compassionate presence that fosters safety and trust. When life feels overwhelming, confusing, or heavy, I offer a genuine connection where clients feel cared for, seen, and supported. My trauma-informed approach means moving at a pace that feels safe, honouring each person’s story, and creating space for emotions that may feel too difficult to share elsewhere. Together, we explore identity, purpose, and the possibility of living with greater clarity and ease. Clients often discover what self-compassion truly feels like while building resilience, finding meaning, and reconnecting with a deeper self.

I embrace a strengths-based philosophy, guided by consistent positive regard for clients and families. Within that context, I utilize an array of clinical practices to best serve clients and families within individual and group formats. These include Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, Harm Reduction, Psycho-education, Mindfulness, and Recovery.  My approach is collaborative, compassionate and interactive. And as a Accredited Music Therapist, I am always ready to incorporate music into the psychotherapy process. I provide a safe, confidential, non-judgemental space to help my clients achieve optimal mental health.

Mental health is just as important as physical health. If you’re feeling a bit down, or maybe you thought you heard something, you’d probably shrug it off. But, if it persists or gets worse, like you’re constantly sad, don’t want to leave the house, and constantly feeling tired or you’ve been seeing someone following and you feel that your brain is disorganized, then you need to see a mental health clinician like a psychotherapist. Even when you’re experiencing the subtle symptoms, it never hurts to have a check up. Reach out to schedule a free 15-minute consultation to start your healing journey.

Psychotherapy provides us with an opportunity to use an integrative approach to gain insight into your thoughts, feelings, behaviors, and interactions. I work collaboratively with my clients to reach their therapeutic goals within an empathetic and supportive dynamic. Whether your goals are for you as an individual or as part of a couple, psychotherapy provides the opportunity for personal growth and empowerment to experience the life you desire.

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.

I take a positive based approach in my counselling. I believe that lasting change happens when you draw out the truths within yourself and your relationships. I do not treat people as problems, as people are people and problems are problems. I do not like lables; I believe people are a lot more than what they may be currently struggling with. I seek to understand the full context of a person, rather than just focusing on a specific issue. I am a Registered Psychotherapist.

Most people consider psychotherapy because they are in crisis and seek an intervention that will improve their lives. The issue may involve work or the recognition of recurring, destructive themes that prevent them from living out their dreams. I use a framework called Accelerated Experiential Dynamic Psychotherapy, originating from Diana Fosha. It uses a model of attachment to establish a clear, supportive relationship that helps people feel safe enough to explore deeper issues and to know that they are not alone. I aim to help them reach inside themselves to deal with painful feelings, make way for the resilience and wisdom that reside in each of us and find the transformation we seek.

Reach out for a free consultation; I look forward to talking with you.

Psychotherapy is a talk-based therapy in which folks can explore their concerns related to life challenges, stressors, mental health and well-being in a non-judgemental space. I believe that “individual” concerns go beyond the individual and are deeply connected to the way we interact with the world and others. As such, my approach to psychotherapy draws on systemic therapies that focus on broader sociocultural influences, intersections of identity and relational patterns. I value collaboration, authenticity and anti-oppressive practice in the therapeutic space. Contact me for a free consultation to determine if we would be a good fit.

I provide counselling and psychotherapy services to individuals, couples and families in different categories of concern, which may include psychological health, couple & family difficulties and workplace struggles.

As a psychotherapist, my goal is to provide clients with a safe and supportive environment to explore their thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. Through psychotherapy, clients can gain greater insight into their own personal challenges and develop effective coping mechanisms to address them. One of the key benefits of psychotherapy is that it can help clients to identify and address the underlying causes of their emotional and mental distress. By exploring their past experiences and current challenges, clients can gain a greater understanding of their own unique needs and develop strategies for managing their symptoms.

In many cultures, seeking a mentor or counsellor at various times in your life, would be expected and respected. Yet in our culture, we still might feel discomfort about "needing" support from someone outside our family & friends. The people I see are courageous. They choose to use the resources available to improve their quality of life. It's a commitment to yourself and your loved ones that takes time, money and determination. Self-help books can be wonderfully helpful, but something unique and special happens when you meet the right person to bring the principles of unconditional positive regard as well as healing skills to meet you wherever you are.

If therapy were to be successful for you, what would be different in your life? How would you know that this process was a good use of your time and money? - How you answer those questions is very important, those answers set the (initial) destination as we set out on this journey together. Client directed therapy means that your goals are the compass that guides our work, and we will regularly check in to assess what is working and not working in helping you reach those goals. Every client is different, and our work will be built on proven modalities and techniques, while also being specific to you.

However, I have been trained in the field of understanding how your mind is functioning and helping you to develop the skills to communicate. Together we can work on your issues and requests. We can explore your past and present to make connections. We will dig deeper to find roots of your beliefs and develop your inner resources so that you may flourish. When I see you feeling better, thinking clearly, acting efficiently, achieving more, I consider my task is accomplished.

Clarity is everything! Psychotherapy for me is the process in which we help an individual bring clarity to their life. Stress, dysfunctional relationships, childhood neglect or trauma, loss or rejection, failure and crisis can all send us reeling. We lose our focus. We get off track. We become disoriented and lose our centre. Sometimes Psychotherapy is a process in which we reclaim our selves. In other cases we re-create ourselves, and yet in other cases we over come ourselves. Once we see clearly we begin to place the stepping-stones of intentional behaviour as we write our next chapters . . . now with clarity.
