Find a Therapist in North York, Ontario.

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.

Life is a journey and we are presented with various challenges along the way. Sometimes we find a path forward and sometimes we get stuck and need guidance and support. Psychotherapy can be an opportunity for you to connect with a trained professional to explore the challenges you are experiencing and to discover new tools and perspectives. As a psychotherapist, I support you on your journey by creating a relationship with you that’s built on safety, openness, and trust. I also help you to discover the resilience that you hold and I support you in strengthening or re-defining the relationships within your life. Contact me or book a free consultation if you wish to learn more.

Therapy can provide a safe emotional space in which your experiences can be explored with the support of a therapist.

Psychotherapy with me is a collaborative and respectful process where clients are invited to explore their thoughts, emotions, and patterns in a safe and supportive space. I work from a trauma-informed, Gestalt and somatic perspective, which means we pay attention not only to what is happening in your mind, but also to what is happening in your body and in the present moment. I do not rush change or impose solutions. Instead, I help clients increase awareness, strengthen emotional regulation, and develop healthier ways of relating to themselves and others. Through this process, clients often gain self-understanding, clearer boundaries, and greater confidence in navigating life’s challenges.

When something in your life will not shift no matter how hard you try to reason your way out of it, the right kind of therapy can make the difference. I work in several proven approaches, including cognitive behaviour therapy, psychodynamic therapy, person-centred therapy, and existential therapy, and I match the approach to you rather than the other way around. If you want to work with someone with deep training and long experience, I have been a psychologist since 1986. I am based in Calgary and see clients across Alberta, Ontario, Quebec, Nova Scotia, and New Brunswick by secure video.

Psychotherapy is talk-based therapy to help us explore any areas of concerns in which you may be experiencing difficulties. The therapeutic relationship between you and your therapist is one of exploration, support, and vulnerability to help you live a life aligned with your passions and goals. Taking the first step can feel daunting and I am here to help support you through this journey. Schedule a free 15-minute consultation with me to see if I am the proper fit for your journey.

I primarily use Emotion Focused Therapy (EFT) to support individuals, couples and families to get the supportive relationships they need to be safe, secure and grow in life. EFT is designed to provide opportunities to express vulnerable emotions to loved ones so that one can be clearly understood and valued by the most important people in your life. Even in individual therapy, there are powerful techniques used to safely access unacknowledged (often painful) emotions in connection to oneself and others. EFT is based on our knowledge of the importance of close bonds with others and has over 20 years of research that verifies its success. Call me for a confidential consult.
