As a helping professional, do you find that the emotional demands of your work are leaving you disconnected from your partner or feeling emotionally shut off? Conversations may feel tense or lacking in depth, and the intimacy you once shared seems to be slipping away. Whether you’re in a monogamous relationship or exploring Ethical Non-Monogamy (ENM), relationship challenges can feel overwhelming. Especially if you are not used to asking for help, having always held the role of a helper, or having learned that your needs will not be met no matter how hard you try to voice it. You don't have to feel alone on the path to reconnection!

Navigating the leap from college into “real life” can be overwhelming. It can stir up anxiety, self-doubt, and a sense of disconnection. This weekly therapy group is a space for young adults to explore the pressure to “have it all figured out”, shifts in identity, and more. Through open conversation and shared experiences we’ll explore how anxiety shows up in real time, practice tools for self-regulation, connection, and clarity, while also building insight and emotional resilience. My background is in working with college students and love providing opportunities to decrease isolation while navigating transition periods! Starts July.

Group meets in Vaughan, ON L6A
Now accepting clients in Vaughan and North York. I feel alone. I am scared and hurting and no one understands. I feel so overwhelmed or sometimes I feel nothing. I can't stop my intrusive thoughts. I am stuck and I don't know what to do. These are common statements that I hear from clients all the time. Stress, anxiety, depression, and emotion dysregulation are common issues that so many of us are dealing with. I believe that you feel alone and that no one can help you. You desperately want help and support. I think you are here because you want to share your story and be vulnerable. I am a safe space and I want to hear your story.

We practice loving kindness together to create a safe space to share what's going on for you in your life as we find new flexibility to co-create more meaningful relationships and experiences in life.

Are you overwhelmed by anxiety, stress, or the emotional toll of unresolved trauma or emotional disconnection? Do you feel stuck in patterns that affect your confidence, relationships, or ability to express your needs? Many individuals and couples we support are navigating relational trauma, attachment wounds, intergenerational issues, and ongoing family conflict. These struggles often show up as burnout, emotional dysregulation, or low self-worth. We help you explore and heal these patterns with warmth, clarity, and evidence-based care—so you can feel more grounded, connected, emotionally supported, and empowered in your healing.

My practice is entitled 'Awareness: The First Step to Healthy Living' because I believe that clients want to explore and become familiar with their thoughts, emotions, and behaviors, so that life can feel fulfilling. We all experience confusion in life, questioning how to navigate the difficult stages of change, loss, upheaval, insecurity, and, hoping to feel content and accepting of ourselves. I hope to work with clients who want help in managing their lives, whether they struggle with serious mental health, or would like reflect on what they can do better.

I offer a warm, creative, down-to-earth approach that is client-focused and collaborative. I work from a trauma-informed, anti-oppressive framework. I believe in bringing light and air to the parts of ourselves that need time and space to emerge. In our increasingly fragmented world filled with smart phones and doom scrolling, we could all use some good old-fashioned connection. I bring a deep curiosity about the ways we move through the world, the stories we tell ourselves and how our relationships are affected.
