Find a Therapist in Toronto, Ontario.

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.

In my Psychotherapy practice, I provide a safe and non-judgmental space where clients can explore their thoughts, feelings, and behaviors in depth. My approach is client-centered, blending various therapeutic modalities like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Gestalt Therapy, and Trauma-Informed Care, allowing me to tailor each session to the individual’s needs. Through our work together, clients gain insight into their challenges, develop healthier coping strategies, and build resilience. The goal is to empower clients to heal, grow, and create lasting positive change in their lives.

Art therapy and counselling support deeper self-exploration, emotional processing, and integration of difficult life experiences. This may involve talking, creative expression, and somatic awareness, depending on your needs, and is guided by collaboration, consent, and a pace that feels safe and supportive. Art therapy can support you in gaining greater self-insight, self-awareness, and sense of mindfulness in order to live a more fulfilling life.

Psychotherapy is a talk-based therapy intended to help improve and maintain one’s wellbeing and mental health. I work from a strength-based perspective and use a variety of modalities including solution focused therapy, spiritual therapy, narrative therapy, Cognitive Behavioral therapy, Psychodynamic therapy, Interpersonal therapy, Humanistic therapy and Integrative/Holistic therapy.

I believe that working from a client-centred approach is essential in fostering lasting change. As such, I view each client as an expert in their own lives and integrate their goals in the therapeutic process. My approach draws on Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Interpersonal Therapy (therapy through relationship), Solution-Focused Brief Therapy, Sensorimotor Psychotherapy, and neurophysiological research. 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.

We will work together to create a treatment plan that is unique to your therapeutic needs and goals. Whether you have been diagnosed with a mood or personality disorder, are struggling with anxiety or depression, or are going through a difficult life transition, I am here to support you.

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.

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.

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.

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 psychotherapy is grounded in compassion, collaboration, and authenticity. I use an integrative, evidence-based approach to help you navigate life's challenges, discover your strengths, develop strategies, and work towards your personal growth and well-being. I invite you to reach out for a free consultation today. Together, we will embark on a transformative journey to access your potential to lead a meaningful and fulfilling life.
