Adults Therapists in Toronto, ON

As an ADHD'er with an ADHD kid, I help kids, teens and adults thrive in a neurotypical world by exploring, embracing and working with their ADHD brain. Having spent 20+ years at tech companies (startups & Fortune 500s), I can show you how therapy can help you thrive in your personal and professional life. As a parent & cancer survivor, I use a trauma-informed, culturally sensitive approach to dealing with anxiety, depression, grief and major life transitions. No matter what you're struggling with, you are not broken. Therapy isn't about fixing, but rather, rediscovering & reclaiming your inherent wholeness.

I am a Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying) and a Registered Midwife. I use my experiences and training to support adults struggling with depression and anxiety, relationship concerns, life transitions, trauma, grief, perinatal related issues and parenting struggles.

I help adults heal from trauma, childhood abuse and neglect, and bullying, allowing them to feel more connected to themselves, to others, and to the life they want to live. Low self-esteem, extreme emotions, intrusive thoughts, social anxiety, and negative body image don't have to get in the way of your relationships and life goals. With therapy, you can improve how you feel toward yourself, find inner calm, and learn how to feel safe and secure in the present.

As a Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying), I work with adults and teens who come to me with a variety of challenges. They may be struggling to cope with grief and loss, or are feeling confused about a relationship, or are finding anxiety increasingly hard to manage. I work with folks to bring patterns to light while building new ways of being in relationship to others and feelings together. I love working with feelings - and the people who have them. Whether your feelings are big, bold, and out loud, or you're struggling to articulate or find them, I am glad to sit with you and explore them together.

My approach to therapy is collaborative and holistic, and is intended to help you build a better, healthier relationship with yourself and others. We’ll work together to discover ways to heal from mental illness and cope with life’s challenges. I have years of experience working with children, adolescents, and adults (including couples) as an educator and therapist. I help people deal with a variety of challenges (e.g., anxiety, OCD, depression); I am trained in individual trauma therapy, and I work with individuals to find meaning in life and live theirs to its fullest despite the adversity they may have experienced.

Need things to change? Life can be tough at times, and navigating through the many challenges alone can be stressful and isolating. I'm a Registered Psychotherapist, with over 18 years of experience in the mental health field (teaching counselling, workshop facilitation, supervising, therapy…) Whether it be searching for meaning and happiness, managing symptoms of anxiety or depression, working through trauma or crises, building relationship skills like conflict management and communication, or finding more work-life balance, I take a client-centred approach to guide and support people in reaching their goals.

I believe that therapy should be a collaborative and creative process. I strive to provide a safe and non-judgmental space where individuals can feel at ease to explore and gain further insight into their thoughts, feelings, sensations, and behaviours. I enjoy helping clients who are interested in their own personal growth and wellbeing. If you are seeking support in navigating challenges, developing coping strategies, achieving your personal goals, and living in accordance with your values, let’s connect.

The challenges we face in life are not exactly our choice, but how we want to deal with them definitely is. So, if you are reading this, then I want to tell you that you do not have to do it alone. Choosing to get help through therapy is a brave and beneficial choice. Over the years, I have helped Individuals, Couples and Families with issues such as Anxiety, Trauma, Eating disorders, OCD, PTSD, Grief, Identity Issues, Family Conflicts, Life Transitions, Relationship issues, Gender Dysphoria, Autism Spectrum, Self-Harm, Abuse, Stress, Depression etc.

I am passionate about what I do, and my strengths lie in my ability to connect with others to enhance their overall well-being.

The therapeutic relationship is a 'collaborative' one, with a focus on establishing and maintaining a safe and trusting relationship with clients, so we can openly explore patterns of thinking and interacting that get in the way of being the person you wish to be - I have a large toolkit of strategies to choose from!

I help adults tame their anxiety and build resilient and trusting relationships with themselves. Asking for help takes courage and I invite you to take this journey together.
