Etobicoke, ON M8V
I work with couples and individuals, quickly identifying patterns and finding alternatives to repeated adverse outcomes. Before becoming a therapist, I spent years as an actuary, a profession grounded in precision, analysis, and long-range thinking. This background uniquely shapes my approach to therapy: thoughtful, strategic, and deeply attuned to patterns beneath the surface. I bring the same depth and intellectual curiosity to understanding the human experience, helping clients uncover insights that are often missed in more conventional approaches.
My approach combines critical thinking with a finely tuned emotional lens. I can help you determine when to listen to emotions, when to challenge them, and how to use them effectively to navigate life’s challenges. Working with me to harness emotional insight can move you towards living your life with authenticity and intention.
I specialize in working with individuals or couples who feel stuck or that they haven’t been fully understood. If you’re looking for a therapist who can think outside the box, meet you with warmth and precision, and help you stop living the life that others expect you to live, I’d be honoured to work with you.
