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.

Talk therapy provides an opportunity to learn skills that will keep the emotional "trash can" empty and help develop a healthy self. Healthy emotions stimulate the human fueling system promoting positive growth, strength to create solutions and manage life challenges. Maintaining a healthy emotional/spiritual system is as important to life as sustaining a healthy heart. The emotional, physcial and spiritual persons are team players in the "game of life". Each player has a specific position in the game of life and is dependant on the other players to score health and wellness. Ignoring any one of these players for too long will affect their ability to score life goals: happiness, peace.

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.

I specialize in mental health, addictions, trauma, ABI, depression, anxiety, and other emotion and attention regulation difficulties. I offer short-term counselling and long-term psychotherapy to youth, adults, and couples in groups and individually.
