Find a Therapist in Etobicoke, Ontario.

As a Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying), I am able to provide psychotherapy services to clients across Ontario. In our work together, we will work on helping you feel more secure in your identity, more supported in your career/education, relationships, lifestyle. We will uncover unhelpful coping strategies and use your strengths to create healthier techniques. We will work together to bring you to the best version of yourself, because that version exists.

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.

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.

I use an integrative therapeutic approach incorporating multiple modalities such as solution focused therapy, cognitive behavioural therapy, person centred therapy, dialectical behaviour therapy, mindfulness techniques, and creative strategies. I use these tools and modalities to support my clients on their healing journey. There are many benefits to receiving psychotherapy such as, mental healing, increased quality of life, increased happiness and life satisfaction, clarity, and personal growth. It is a privilege for me to join you on your therapeutic journey.

Individual therapy is a safe and confidential space where clients can explore their thoughts, feelings, and behaviours with a trained and licensed therapist. Therapy can help to develop coping strategies to manage symptoms of mental health concerns, such as anxiety or depression. It can also help to develop a greater sense of self-awareness and understanding of their emotions, which can lead to improved relationships with others and a greater sense of overall well-being. At Online Therapy Centre, we offer individual therapy with licensed therapists who are trained in evidence-based practices.

My approach does not focus on discussing what may be wrong with you, but rather explore your experiences, your strengths, and collectively search for a balance in your life through psychotherapeutic interventions and psychoeducation.

Solution-focused Brief Therapy (SFBT) is a form of evidence-based psychotherapy that is different from most therapies. Its purpose is to listen to what may be bothering you and focus on supporting you to verbally construct the differences you would hope to see instead. SFBT is a question-focused and change-oriented approach that guides you to view a challenge in your life from a different perspective. Its purpose is to inspire, create hope, and maintain your autonomy.

Many of us struggle with depression, anxiety, loss, relationship troubles, stress, self-esteem, substance abuse or other issues. Psychotherapy can help work through such problems to develop healthier, more effective habits. My approach includes cognitive-behavioural, and insight oriented therapies. I provide a supportive environment that allows to talk openly with someone who is objective, neutral and non-judgmental. We will work together to identify and change the thought and behaviour patterns that are keeping you from feeling your best. You will not only have solved the problems that brought you in, but you will have learned new skills so you can better cope with any future challenges.

During our sessions, you will slowly reveal different parts of yourself that have been buried, and we will work on integrating them so that you can operate from your strongest possible self. We will work through any trauma that may be holding you back. There is freedom and ease around the corner, and it all starts with a simple email or phone call.

Therapy is about the exploration of how we are impacted by our life experiences. It allows us to discover different choices and strategies to resolve the difficulties that keep us stuck.

Together we will discuss what you may want to achieve through the therapy process. With a commitment to therapy, over time you will see change occur. I take an integrative approach to therapy combining psychoanalytic, attachment based and trauma focused therapies.

As a therapist, my role is to offer support and guidance to people seeking insight into the roots of their attitudes and behavioral patterns. My goal is to help clients use this knowledge to reclaim agency and power over these patterns to effectively change unproductive thoughts, beliefs, and behaviour patterns. I create a safe and none-judgemental space for individuals, couples, families, children (5-12), and teens to comfortably process and resolve the issues that keep them stuck and immobile. To this end, I employ a range of therapeutic techniques such as: CBT, Mindfulness, Guided Imagery, Trauma Techniques, and Attachment based approaches.

My approach to psychotherapy is rooted in post-modernism and occupies a systemic lens and strengths-based perspective. I believe that clients are the experts of their own lives, and my role is to help make sense of their experiences and facilitate their confidence in implementing the changes they want to see. Further, I believe that any emotion, reaction or feeling has its place and can be a normal response to specific circumstances. Part of my aim for therapy is to facilitate understanding to help clients move forward. Schedule a free 15-minute consultation to ensure we are a good fit.

Psychotherapy's major objectives are to reduce symptoms, maintain or enhance day-to-day functioning, and improve quality of life. Psychotherapy helps with managing stressful life events, the effects of trauma, medical disease, or bereavement (such as the death of a loved one), and some mental health issues like anxiety or depression. Positive physiological and neurological changes have been associated with psychotherapy, which has been shown to enhance emotional and psychological health. Psychotherapy comes in a variety of forms, and certain forms may be more effective in particular therapeutic contexts. Psychotherapy may be used in combination with medication or other therapies.
