Therapists in Mississauga, ON

I strive to ensure that the space I create is welcoming, non-judgemental, safe, and supportive.  I am passionate about people, the stories they tell, and the resiliency they hold. I work with clients with various mental health concerns, identity exploration, trauma processing, and relationship conflict.

When life gets complicated and overwhelming, the therapeutic process can help to get you back on track. Whether you are trying to cope with difficult relationships or you are struggling with anxiety, depression, isolation and more, you don't have to deal with these challenges on your own. I offer a trusting and supportive place where you can talk openly about your concerns, gain further understanding and insight, and find new ways of managing your circumstances more effectively. Through this process you will feel better about yourself and achieve a greater sense of joy and well being.

I am a Registered Psychotherapist and Canadian Certified Counsellor. I believe each person has their own distinct life experiences and qualities that call for a tailored approach to meet their individual needs. Each obstacle presents a chance for personal growth, and with guidance, you can develop greater self-awareness. With that, we work collaboratively to explore the Past and the Present to Unravel themes and patterns within your life that could operate as obstacles to help you reach your goals.

I am registered with the College of Psychologists (CPO) and all of my services include clinical supervision with CPO registered Psychologists, which inform my continued professional development. Research in the area of 'common factors' emphasizes the client-therapist relationship and factors that are unique to you and your life circumstances as important predictors for therapy success, and it informs my approach to support you in creating positive change. I meet clients non-judgmentally, and my approach is uniquely dynamic, collaborative, and solution-focused, with therapeutic presence and authenticity.

Reaching out for support can be difficult—I commend you for the courage to see what therapy can offer! As a person of colour and member of the LGBTQ+ communities, I have lived experience and special insight into what it’s like to navigate the unique challenges that come with intersectionality. I have a background in working with sexual health, resilience, wellbeing and challenges that uniquely affect intersecting persons of colour, gender and sexuality. I’m grateful to have supported many folx who went through a difficult time in their life, dealt with a mental health concern, or wanted to explore more about themselves.

Making sense of our lives is no easy task. Each of us finds themselves at the centre of a story that has never been lived by anyone else before them. Our time together will highlight the factors that make your story so unique, and how this shapes the dynamics of your thoughts, emotions, behaviours, and relationships. This insight will help us understand who you are, who you want to become, and how we can improve your situation.

As a Registered Psychotherapist, I use a variety of modalities and approaches to treatment. My philosophy of growth relies on the facts that human beings are rational by nature, knowledge is based on experimental results, life's meaning is to be found in individuals, and that reality gains meaning through one's personal explanation of experiences. My practice focuses on helping individuals to understand and develop a greater understanding of their struggle through cognitive, affective, Behavioural and systematic intervention strategies that address wellness, personal growth and pathology.

Your mind is racing, your palms become sweaty, and you ask yourself “am I normal?”; “are these thoughts normal?”; “what’s wrong with me?”. You become anxious, you can’t sleep, eat, or think. Have you experienced any of these symptoms? I am here to tell you that many of us have from time-to-time. If these thoughts are consuming your day-to-day life I am here to help. I am a passionate therapist, and I consistently work from a client-centred and anti-oppressive perspective. I work eclectically, which basically means that I draw from several therapy modalities in order to meet your unique needs.

Have you been feeling stuck in a cycle you can’t seem to break out of? Do you experience overwhelming feelings of anxiety, depression, frustration, anger, grief, shame or rejection? Are these feelings negatively impacting your relationships and causing unwanted conflict? Do you feel like a victim of trauma?

Thankfully, there’s a way to change your narrative and experience mental, emotional and relational freedom.
